A 51-year-old man, Kwamena Nuamah, has claimed that former President John Agyekum Kufuor is his biological father.
Kwamena Nuamah, a tipper truck driver from Bogoso, recounted his lifelong struggle to discover his father’s identity during an interview on Lawson TV on April 1, 2025.
According to him, he was raised by his grandmother for 39 years after his mother abandoned him at a young age.
He explained that his mother had traveled to Kumasi Railways to seek a livelihood and became pregnant while there.
However, she never disclosed the identity of the man responsible for the pregnancy.
He explained that when he was just a year and six months old, his mother left him in the care of his grandmother and traveled to Côte d’Ivoire. Upon her return, she fell ill and later passed away, leaving behind unanswered questions about his paternity.
Nuamah revealed that a classmate of his late mother repeatedly told him that his father was a great man, and he was not living a life befitting of his true status. This led him on a quest to uncover the truth.
“I went to Apagyafie in the Ashanti Region, and I was told that my father is former President Kufuor. I also sought help from Chairman Wontumi, who contacted NPP Women’s Organizer Nana Ama Ampomah. She asked me to take a picture of my mother for further verification,” Nuamah stated.
According to him, despite multiple efforts to meet Kufuor and confirm his claim, he has been unsuccessful.
