Ghanaian gospel musician ACP Kofi Sarpong has detailed memories he shared with the late mother of Empress Gifty, Evangelist Agnes Aba Annan.
In an interview with GhanaWeb’s Isaac Dadzie, ACP Kofi Sarpong noted that Evangelist Agnes Annan took him as a son.
He also explained that the late ‘Agaga’ as Evangelist Annan was affectionately known entertained everyone she encountered.
“We all know that our mother paid her dues when she was alive. She entertained everybody and for me, she called me a son. Also, anyone who was close to Empress Gifty, Agaga took the person as her child. I will say may her soul rest in peace because we will meet one day,” he said.
ACP Kofi Sarpong also expressed his sincere condolences to Empress Gifty.
“And to my sister Empress Gifty, I pray that the Lord will console her. There is an assurance that the Lord is with her,” he added.
