The NPP has praised the late former First Lady, Mrs. Theresa Kufuor, for her sterling qualities targeted at advancing the cause of women and children.
In a statement mourning Mrs. Kufuor, the party has also directed for its flags to fly at half-mast across the country to mourn her passing.
“Mrs. Kufuor was a beacon for female advancement, fostering initiatives to inspire and empower both young and adult females in various facets of life. The members of the ruling NPP, together with all Ghanaians whose lives were positively touched by her, extend our deepest condolences to former President John Agyekum Kufuor, their children, and the entire family,” NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua said in his statement.
“We stand united with you in this time of sorrow, praying that the Almighty God grants all of us the fortitude to bear this great loss. In tribute to the memory of the late Mrs. Kufuor, the NPP directs that all party flags across the country be flown at half-mast for the next seven days. May her gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace until we meet again on the resurrection morning. Damirifa Due!,” the statement continued.
Mrs. Kufuor peacefully passed away on Sunday, October 1, at her Peduase home in the Eastern Region, aged 88.
She served as first lady from 2001 to 2009.
