The sad event occurred on October 1, 2023, and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) “deeply mourned” the loss of former First Lady Theresa Kufuor, the spouse of former President John Agyekum Kufuor.
From January 7, 2001, to January 6, 2009, Mrs. Theresa Kufuor held the office of First Lady of Ghana. According to the party’s general secretary, Justin Kodua, she “dedicated her life to supporting her husband throughout his political career and to the service of humanity.”
The party claimed that Mrs. Kufour “championed the cause of improved healthcare in our country, inspired by her profession as a nurse.”
“Notably, she established the Mother and Child Community Development Foundation (MCCDF) that supports the prevention of mother to child transmission of diseases, including HIV/ AIDS”, the party said.
“Mrs. Kufuor was also 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 New Patriotic Party, 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. 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”, the party said.
The NPP “directs that all Party flags throughout the country be flown at half-mast for the next seven days” in remembrance of the late Mrs. Kufuor. Until the morning of the Resurrection, may her lovely soul continue to rest in peace.
