In a poignant display of camaraderie, the former President, alongside NPP members, arrived to pay their respects to his late friend, who famously recorded a campaign song for him during his tenure.
Upon arrival, Nana Akufo-Addo acknowledged the family and offered a generous donation of GH¢100,000 to assist them as they navigated this challenging period.
Other notable contributions included GH¢50,000 from former Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, GH¢30,000 from the Ghana Police Service, and GH¢10,000 from Kennedy Agyapong, and GH¢5,000 each from Matthew Opoku Prempeh and Alan Kyerematen.
In a striking moment captured during the observance, Denise Fosu, the eldest daughter of Daddy Lumba, was photographed seated and seemingly at ease despite the sombre occasion, as she welcomed Akufo-Addo.
Looking graceful and without makeup, her serene demeanour contrasted with the weight of the event. The former president displayed a gesture of fatherly affection by gently touching her cheeks, offering comfort amidst their shared grief.

Her expression conveyed profound sadness and vulnerability, reflecting the heavy toll of her husband’s passing on both her and their five young children.

To commemorate her father's memory, she adorned herself with a stylish black headwrap, artfully draping it over her shoulders, symbolising her mourning.
Furthermore, her oversized black sunglasses, priced at GH¢90, served a dual purpose; not only did they add a fashionable touch to her outfit, but they also discreetly concealed her tear-filled eyes from the public gaze, allowing her a moment of privacy amidst her sorrow.
