Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, his wife Rebecca Naa Torshie Akufo-Addo, and Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga were among the many high-profile personalities present at the emotional service.
In a touching tribute shared by the sisters of the deceased, they described her as a true mother figure to them, offering warmth, guidance, and strength, even though she was not the eldest sibling.
“She was our trailblazer from the time we met her in our lives. She was not the oldest sister, but by divine arrangement, while our oldest sister was at the time in boarding school, Nana Konadu stepped into that role and wore the mantle of the leader. As we grew and for as long as we've known her, she has always been the one who mobilised us all."
“She was the big sister who guided us through life's turbulence and stood to fight battles if she realised someone was treating us unfairly. She set us straight when she thought we were out of line. Nana Konadu was our role model, and we aspired to be like her,” the tribute stated.
