The Republic is united in grief following the announcement of the untimely passing of Her Excellency Mrs. Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, the respected former First Lady of Ghana. The government formally communicated its profound sorrow and deep regret over the news delivered this morning. Mrs. Rawlings was a towering figure in the nation’s recent history, known widely as the dynamic Founder of the 31st December Women’s Movement, and her passing after a short illness marks the close of a consequential life woven into the fabric of the country’s political and social narrative.
The official pronouncement of the sad event and the government’s expression of mourning were conveyed through a formal statement issued by the Ministry of Government Communications. This communication carried the weight of the state’s sympathy regarding the loss of the prominent public figure.
In the released statement, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, in his dual role as Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications, articulated the administration’s feelings. He delivered the deepest condolences of the entire government apparatus to the immediate family of the late former First Lady, wishing them strength as they face this difficult period of bereavement and loss.
