The 40-day observation ceremony was held at the University of Ghana Sports Complex in Accra on Monday, October 20, 2025. It was organised to mourn the demise of the industrialist and to celebrate his memory.
Notable Ghanaian figures, including Osebo the Zaraman, Nana Akufo-Addo, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, John Agyekum Kufuor, Mercy Asiedu, Mahama Ayariga, Akrobeto, and other NPP officials, were present at the outdoor event.
In a video, Nana Ama McBrown walked with her colleague actress, Mercy Asiedu, to greet some of the top officials of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
After shaking Dr Bawumia's hands, she moved to Samira Bawumia, who was seated next to her husband.
Instead of Mrs Bawumia sitting to just shake Nana Ama McBrown’s hand, she got up and hugged the actress. The two smiled at each other and engaged in a brief conversation.
After she was done speaking to Samira Bawumia, Nana Ama McBrown moved to Hawa Koomson, the former Member of Parliament of Awutu Senya East Constituency.
Hawa Koomson also stood to greet Nana Ama McBrown while Mercy Asiedu looked on. She was possibly waiting for her colleague.
Samira’s action towards Nana Ama was different from the way she received Hopeson Adorye when he greeted her at the same event.
