The event attracted top dignitaries including the former president Akufo-Addo, and the Okyehene, Amoatia Ofori Panin.
The former president highlighted JB Danquah's contribution to Ghana's founding and called for an end to the name-calling throwing the doyen of Ghanaian politics name.
In an article shared after the event, Afenyo Markin sang the president's song in honour of the late JB Danquah. He said,
"We are called Ghana today because of the research and advocacy of Dr Danquah. Prior to independence, Dr Danquah travelled near and far to conduct extensive research on a suitable name that would reflect the history, identity, and heritage of the people of the Gold Coast. He spent considerable time at the British Museum and other libraries, meticulously studying primary historical sources on the origins and traditions of the ethnic groups within the Gold Coast."
While the import of JB Danquah's memorial event has become a mainstay, some lighthearted moments with Afenyo Markin have significantly garnered traction on social media.
A key highlight is Afenyo Markin's choral segment. The minority leader joined a choir intended to serenade guests at the event and didn't disappoint, as per many netizen reviews.
Many shared their admiration for him after noticing his command over the songs and his peculiar voice which blended harmoniously with the choir.
