The incident occurred on October 20 at the 40-day memorial service held at the University of Ghana Sports Complex in honour of Adwoa Safo’s father, the late Apostle Kwadwo Safo.
In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, the former Dome Kwabenya Member of Parliament (MP) appeared unhappy as she exchanged handshakes with Adorye, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) official who has defected to the United Party (UP).
The video showed Adwoa Safo adopting a very serious demeanour as Hopeson Adorye approached her and refused to make any eye contact with him.
After they exchanged greetings, she warmly got up to hug, greet, and interact with the person after him, sparking reactions on social media.
Hopeson Adorye left the NPP party to join Alan Kyeremanten’s Movement for Change (now the United Party) and has since then heatedly criticised his former colleagues, leading to a breakdown in relations.
The TikTok video of Adwoa Safo’s moment with Hopeson Adorye is below.
Samira Bawumia snubs Hopeson Adorye
Adwoa Safo’s interaction with Hopeson Adorye followed a similar encounter involving the politician and former second lady, Samira Bawumia.
In a viral TikTok video, Hopeson Adorye and his colleagues shook hands with some prominent figures from his former party, NPP, as they arrived at the ceremony.
He was seen approaching former Vice President Dr Bawumia to shake hands and engage in a friendly conversation.
However, when he approached Samira Bawumia, she pointedly avoided shaking his hand and only formally inquired about him before turning away, indicating their interaction had come to an end.
The incident reportedly stemmed from a feud between Adorye and the former second lady after his unceremonious departure from the NPP.
The TikTok video of the moment is below.
