In a Facebook post sighted by Townflex dated, Wednesday, September 29, 2021, the President poured out his heart as he mourns the Highlife musician.

Akufo-Addo disclosed that the late singer contributed towards his victory in the elections of 2016.

Nana Addo Wrote;

“I have learnt, with great sadness, of the death of one of Ghana’s musical icons, the legendary high-life artiste, Nana Ampadu.

“The outpouring of grief by many Ghanaians, following the news of his death, is an appreciation of the impact his music had on successive generations of Ghanaians.

Nana Ampadu believed in my vision for the transformation of Ghana, and assisted me tremendously on the campaign trail in the run-up to my victory in the elections of 2016, for which I remain eternally grateful.

“His was a life well-lived, and he will be sorely missed. My deep condolences to his widow, children and family. Rest in perfect peace, Nana, and may the Almighty keep you in His Bosom until the Last Day of the Resurrection when we shall all meet again. Amen.

“Nana Ampadu, da yie, Nyame nfa wo kra nsie.”

Nana Kwame Ampadu  born on born 31 March 1945, was a Ghanaian musician credited with numerous popular highlife tracks and he is known to have composed over 800 songs.

His musical career has also involved him in electoral politics, including composing a song for Jerry Rawlings’s National Democratic Congress party to use in the 1992 election campaign. Ampadu also released a song critical of an attempt to disqualify Rawlings from the 1992 election based on him being half-Scottish.

This is a very sad news hitting the Ghanaian music, and entertainment industry.
