A heartwarming moment of unity and mutual respect was captured on video as President John Dramani Mahama, accompanied by his Chief of Staff Julius Debrah, warmly exchanged handshakes with renowned Ghanaian executive music producer and business mogul Nana Kobo at Kwahu Obomeng during this year’s Easter celebrations.
The encounter took place at the residence of Nana Kobo’s good friend, Mr. Mike Twum Barimah, where President Mahama paid a rare but symbolic courtesy call on former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, following the Kwahu Business Forum.
The brief but symbolic moment between the two political giants, in the presence of key private sector figures like Nana Kobo, sent a strong signal of statesmanship, mutual tolerance, and the crucial role of business leadership in Ghana’s socio-economic development.
The Kwahu Business Forum, held earlier during the Easter festivities, brought together some of Ghana’s most influential business minds. Esteemed personalities such as Dr. Kwaku Oteng, Nana Kobo, and several other prominent entrepreneurs gathered to deliberate on leveraging local investment opportunities, youth employment, and private sector-led growth.
Nana Kobo, whose influence spans music, real estate, and hospitality, has been a driving force in Ghana’s creative economy and was lauded for his contributions to youth empowerment.
The Easter engagement, which fused politics, business, and cultural tradition, has been described by observers as a positive demonstration of how Ghana’s leadership—both past and present—can collaborate for national progress.
The video has since gone viral, with many praising the dignified interaction and calling for more such moments of unity among political and business leaders.
As the nation continues to navigate economic recovery and youth development, stakeholders at the forum pledged renewed commitment to using their platforms to support local industry and inclusive growth.
