Uncle Ebo was elated to receive the second lady and her family. He opened up about his proud relationship with the Bawumias.

"One of the gifts God has given me is the friendship and family of the second lady. She's not just an acquaintance; we're family, and I'm so proud to own up to that everywhere."

The renowned playwright also hailed the second lady for her consistent efforts in support of her husband, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who lost the 2024 elections to the New Democratic Congress' candidate, John Dramani Mahama.

"For me, in 2024, there's an image that will stay with me throughout. It's the image of the second lady at Manhyia making her case before Asantehene with dignity, intelligence eloquence and also with humility."
"So intelligent was her presentation that the Asantehene forgot he was the King. because when they sit on their throne, they're not supposed to acknowledge anything human, but for the first time, he acknowledged that he had been moved by the lady before him. That is the kind of family I have."
