Known for his signature bald look and trademark hat, the TV star became a household name over a decade ago when the slogan ‘Ede Be Kɛkɛ’ went viral during the 2012 general elections.
In the video making rounds online, Wofa K appeared unchanged, sparking fond memories among social media users.
The veteran entertainer re-enacted the slogan and twisted his mouth sideways while saying it, a popular way of saying the catchphrase.
Many Ghanaians took to the comments section to express their delight at seeing him again, with some speculating about his long absence from the public eye.
Wofa K's Ede Be Kɛkɛ and No Abaabasɛ
The phrase ‘Ede Be Kɛkɛ’ was originally a slogan for telecom giant MTN, but during the heated 2012 elections, it became the slogan of the then-ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The party, led by President John Dramani Mahama, adopted the phrase. It became a big part of the party’s campaign, used in rallies, speeches, and political conversations across the nation.
Beyond ‘Ede Be Kɛkɛ,’ Wofa K was also credited with coining another popular political phrase ‘No Abaabasɛ, ’ which also went viral during the NDC’s manifesto launch in 2016.
In a video interview after the 2016 NDC manifesto launch, Wofa K explained that he was motivated to create those terms and support Mahama because of the then-presidents humility.
Contrary to popular opinion at the time that he had been handsomely rewarded for his coinings, Wofa K indicated that he did everything out of love for Mahama and not for monetary benefits.
"No Coing has entered anybody's pocket," he said.
Watch Wofa K's interview below:
Following the defeat of Mahama by the then New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Wofa K went on hiatus from the screens.
His recent reappearance has sparked curiosity about his whereabouts, with many wondering why he stepped away from the limelight.
