With regret, I have received the sad news of the passing of my dear friend and renowned music icon, Charles Kwadwo Fosu.
Daddy Lumba, as we affectionately call him, was a pantheon among musical greats of all time and had a special connection with his fans and the entire nation.
His hit-making songs will remain lasting contributions to my presidential journey and will forever be etched in the annals of the political campaign of the New Patriotic Party. He will be sorely missed.
May he peacefully rest in the bosom of the Almighty until the Last Day of the Resurrection, when we shall all meet again.
