Arnold is an entertainment pundit
Ghanaian Entertainment pundit, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, has described the late Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings as arguably the most efficient and productive First Lady Ghana has ever experienced.
Arnold made these comments on United Showbiz while expressing shock over the news of her passing.
“I’m sure everyone who heard the news on the first day received it with some level of shock. I’m saying this because we all didn’t know she was sick.
The few public appearances she made, the most prominent one where she was with her children, we all saw how she was.
“We didn’t see or heard of any health complications, we suddenly heard of her death. We send our condolences to the family, especially the children,” he stated on United Showbiz on October 26, 2025.
Arnold noted that the videos circulating online show how deeply affected her children are as they have since tried to remain strong in the face of the loss.
“Looking at the video circulating online, we could clearly see that the children are deeply affected and they are trying to be strong,” he stated.

He went on to praise the late Nana Konadu’s impact, style, and independence during her time as First Lady.
“We all know our mother, the late Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, was arguably the most productive and efficient First Lady Ghana has ever had. Despite the fact that her husband was a prominent figure, his aura didn’t overshadow her. She was visible as the husband,” Arnold shared.
He further highlighted her consistent promotion of African culture through fashion and her literary contribution to Ghana’s history.
“Another thing I loved about her was her love for Ghanaian and African prints. Most of the time she appeared in public, she always projected African prints. Fortunately for us she wrote a book where she wrote about her own story, what she went through in her early life to after her First Ladyship,” Arnold added.
