In a notable moment of statesmanship and unity, former Presidents Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and John Dramani Mahama met on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, in Kwahu to mark the annual Easter celebrations — a long-standing tradition deeply embedded in Ghana’s cultural and spiritual calendar.
The meeting took place against the vibrant backdrop of Kwahu’s iconic Easter festivities, which draw thousands of Ghanaians and international visitors each year. This year’s celebration was especially symbolic as it saw the two leaders come together in a gesture of mutual respect and reflection.
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.”
The former president’s words captured the personal significance of Kwahu’s Easter tradition to his public life, as well as the enduring importance of national unity during moments of spiritual renewal.
The Easter season in Kwahu is known not just for its religious observance, but also for promoting tourism, community development, and national cohesion. The sight of two heads of state engaging peacefully amidst celebrations resonated with many Ghanaians, who took to social media to express hope for continued unity in the country’s political discourse.
