The gathering was held in the midst of Kwahu’s famous Easter celebrations, which attract thousands of Ghanaians and tourists from abroad every year. The two presidents joined together in a show of respect and introspection, making this year’s event particularly symbolic.
In a post shared on social media, former President Akufo-Addo wrote:
“On Sunday, 20th April, 2025, the President of the Republic, H. E. John Dramani Mahama and I met on the lush landscape of Kwahu where for nearly two decades, I have consecutively visited to mark the sacred period of Easter.”
