Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and President John Mahama
A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has reacted to the recent meeting between President John Dramani Mahama and former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at Kwahu.
In a social media post on April 21, 2025, he recalled being labelled a traitor for associating with the then-President Akufo-Addo in efforts to rehabilitate the Asomdwee Park, the final resting place of the late President Professor John Fiifi Atta Mills, who served on the ticket of the NDC.
He questioned the double standards in his post and wrote, “So, is President John Mahama a traitor for visiting President Akufo-Addo? Certainly not! Ghana belongs to all Ghanaians. So, I committed no crime in begging President Akufo-Addo to build Asomdwee Park.”
Anyidoho emphasised the need to rise above partisan politics when it comes to national development and honouring the legacy of past leaders.
Anyidoho stated that he committed no crime by lobbying then-President Akufo-Addo to rehabilitate Asomdwee Park, the final resting place of the late President Professor John Fiifi Atta Mills, who served on the ticket of the NDC.
He says Ghana belongs to all Ghanaians, regardless of political affiliation.
A notable moment unfolded during this year’s Kwahu Easter celebrations when Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo crossed paths with John Dramani Mahama.
The encounter was shared on Akufo-Addo’s official Facebook page on Sunday, April 20, 2025, with the caption, “On Sunday, April 20 2025, the President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, and I met on the lush landscape of Kwahu, where, for nearly two decades, I have consecutively visited to mark the sacred period of Easter.”
President Mahama was in Mpraeso to attend the 2nd edition of the Kwahu Business Forum, which took place on Saturday, April 19, 2025.
Meanwhile, the Kwahu Easter festival, which began as an annual homecoming for the people of Kwahu in the Eastern Region, has gradually evolved into a vibrant celebration that attracts adventurers and culture enthusiasts from across Ghana and beyond.
Each year, hundreds make the journey to the serene Kwahu mountains to take part in various fun-filled activities that blend tradition, business, and entertainment.
