Julius Debrah was speaking at the Accra Friendship Forever Club dinner held on Saturday, March 8, 2026.
Addressing the gathering, Julius Debrah emphasised the need for good relationships to be maintained among all people. He used his long-standing relationship with ex-President Kufuor as an example to buttress his point.
According to Julius Debrah, their relationship started even before destiny aligned their political paths. The Chief of Staff said he was once the school father to one of ex-President Kufuor's sons when they were in Achimota School.
"When I was a sixth former in Achimota School, Kofi Kufuor was my school son. He used to keep his food in my cubicle. At that time, we did not know President Kufuor would become a Head of State one day. I also did not know I'd become a politician someday. Ex-President Kufuor often welcomed me to his Airport residence and advised me. Today, here we are."
"Relationship is key. Sometimes we allow our political leanings to spoil our relationship. However, if we want our country to develop, we need to encourage love and brotherliness. Mr President, the young boy you used to give money gifts in Achimota School is the one who has grown to become a Chief of Staff," he added.
