While addressing her audience, Ohemaa Woyeje also urged Ghanaians to show support at the final burial ceremony of the late Highlife musician Dada KD.
“While you people are eating, I’ll plead with you to show support this coming Saturday as we lay our brother Dada KD to rest. I would be glad if we show him the same love we gave Daddy Lumba during his one-week observance,” she added.
