Following the passing of his wife, Theresa Aba Kufuor, the late former president John Agyekum Kufuor is reportedly keeping his body and spirit together.
In an interview with Adom News, his assistant, Dr. Kwabena Osei-Adubofour, claimed the statesman was deeply affected by the loss.
“The death happened yesterday late in the afternoon, and the old man [Kufuor] did not take it lightly at all because it was a shock to him. But this morning, I have seen that he has recovered from the shock,” he said.
The former president, according to Mr. Osei-Adubofour, has acknowledged that death is a natural part of life.
“But you know, he is old enough to understand death, and normally when people come to inform us about the bereavement of other people, he keeps on saying death is a journey everyone will embark on so he has accepted it” the aide assured.
Dr. Osei-Adubofour stated on the former First Lady’s health that “she had four nurses taking care of her 24/7. On October 25, 2023, she would have been 88 years old, he said.
In the meanwhile, he has pleaded with all Ghanaians to continue to pray for the former President so that he can weather the storm.
