"Mum, you were never just advocating. You were doing. You will be remembered as a woman of action. You lived your values without reservation, believing that actions were either right or wrong and never settled for the uncommitted grey space in between. You were far more than a right hand. You were strategic, clear-minded, and unwavering. You and Dad were, in truth, one another’s partners," he said.

He went on to explain that Nana Konadu's life's work extended far beyond her family, leaving an indelible mark on Ghana’s political and social landscape.
