The Leader of the Asomdwee Ntonton Som, Okronkronyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh, has described the late Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former First Lady of Ghana, as an extraordinary woman whose legacy transcends generations and borders.
Speaking when he led a delegation of temple leaders and chiefs to the residence of the late former First Lady to commiserate with her family, Somafo Yawoh said no woman in Ghana or Africa can be compared to the late Nana Konadu in terms of her service, leadership, and impact on society.
“We have never had any woman whose legacy can be compared to that of the former First Lady, both in Africa and beyond. Such persons are once in a lifetime,” he stated.
Somafo Yawoh likened Nana Konadu’s enduring legacy to that of global icons such as Dr Kwame Nkrumah and Nelson Mandela, saying her life’s work placed her in “a class of selfless leaders who dedicated themselves to humanity.”
He further commended her efforts in championing women’s empowerment and early childhood care, recalling how she established numerous daycare centers across the country.
“Such people are selfless; they are not greedy. She was a selfless leader who established many day care centers. We don’t have her kind,” he said, adding that her memory would continue to inspire future generations.
