I’ll be hurt if I’m not made part of plans for Lumba’s funeral—Akufo-Addo to Lumba’s family
Former President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has eulogised Charles Kwadwo Fosu, popularly known as Daddy Lumba.
The former president recalled the role Daddy Lumba played through his campaign song, which made him one of the most popular politicians in Ghana’s history.
To him, the family should include him in all their plans for the funeral because adding him to their funeral plans will also be a way to appreciate him for the music he composed, which has contributed to his political rise.
He acknowledged that the family had lost a gem, considering Lumba’s exploits in the music scene globally.
“I should have been the first person to come here, but I was out of the country. That is why I came here immediately after I got to town. You have lost something big. Because of Lumba, my name is everywhere in the country.
I made him know how important he is to me and how I value him. I honoured him when he was alive. Charles Kwadwo Fosu is one of the biggest music icons Ghana has produced globally, and that is not in disrepute. I am appreciative of what he did for me, and I am ever ready to be part of any plan to give him a befitting burial. I will be hurt if I am not made part of the burial plans. We will leave, but the music he did for me will transcend generations,” he said when he visited the family of the late musician.
