According to him, Kufuor was kind enough to give two of his peacocks to the High Commission.
The commissioner said both he and the former president shared a passion as avid gardeners.
He added that he enjoyed wandering together around Kufuor's garden examining the plantains, avocados and lemons.
He wrote, "It was an absolute privilege this afternoon to spend a few hours with Ghana’s former President His Excellency John Kufuor, who was kind enough to give two of his peacocks to the High Commission. We are both avid gardeners and I enjoyed wandering together around his garden examining the plantains, avocados and lemons. I couldn’t help telling His Excellency how when I hear Ghanaians talking about ‘Kufuor Gallons’ and ‘Kufuor busses’, I know it is because of their love and respect for him. Since the day I arrived in Ghana everyone has told me what a gentleman he is. They are right. And I’m honored to have a new Ghanaian friend."
His visit to the former president drew a lot of reactions from Ghanaians.
