“More than just a respected public figure, I regarded her as a loving and supportive spirit. A true advocate for women’s rights. Ghana suffers the loss of a graceful soul. Rest in perfect peace Mrs. Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings. Damirifa due”.

Kojo Antwi attached a memory picture the late first family took with him at his first ever “24th December Kojo Antwi Experience" held at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra about thirty (30) years ago.

The couple never stopped attending the show while both were alive, and the last one Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings attended was at the UPSA in the year 2023.

The Maestro recalled that the late former First Lady took him, his family and the band to Côte d'Ivoire to play for the then First Lady of Ivory Coast, Henriette Konan Bédié, during President Henri Konan Bédié’s era.
