Isaac's mother was a single mum who was able to fend for him through the sales from a petty trade. She sold kola nuts and cigarettes at the Obuasi Central bus terminal to take care of him through school.
Adongo himself says he came from a poor but blessed home.
The gentleman who is quite young in politics has gained widespread recognition and admiration within his National Democratic Congress (NDC).
