The promise comes after Nana Kwame Nuamah, a 51-year-old Ghanaian man sparked controversy after dragging the former President to Lawson TV, alleging that Kufuor was his father.
He claimed he had longed to meet the statesman and began a search nine years ago, but said the people who said they would take him to Kufuor always failed to deliver on their promises to him.
"I've been trying for about nine years to meet him (Kufuor), but to no avail. I've been to many prominent Ghanaian personalities. First, I went to a man named Nana Darko Kufuor. I went to another one named Yaw Kufuor, who is a trader near Komfo Anokye Hospital, hoping they could lead me to the former President, but to no avail."
Nana Kwame claimed that he was not after the former Ghanaian President's riches and simply yearned to meet and bond with his alleged father.

Following his appearance on the radio station, Apau Gyamfi has promised to handle the matter and take Nana Kwame to the former President.
He pleaded with Nana Kwame to stop dragging the name of the Ghanaian statesman in the media, stating that it was tarnishing his image.
Gyamfi added that it was no big deal if the former President was his father since they had a huge family that did not reject anyone.
"In our home, we do not reject people. Kufuor's mother was very welcoming. We don't reject people. If your father is President Kufuor, it is no news. Even in our home, we need more people. We think he has done too much. He should come so we settle this at home instead of running to social media to grant interviews."
He also pleaded with the media to be circumspect in discussing such sensitive matters on air.
The nephew of Kufuor concluded the issue by assuring the man that he would play a lead role in ensuring he gets to meet the former President.
President Kufuor is originally known to have five children, namely Nana Ama Gyamfi, Saah Kufuor, Owusu Afriyie Kufuor, Agyekum Kufuor, and J. Addo Kufuor.
His late wife, Theresa Kufuor, with whom he had the children, passed away on October 1, 2023, at the age of 87.
