In a rare display of unity and camaraderie, President Nana Akuffo Addo, former President John Mahama, and Vice President Dr. Bawumia were seen exchanging pleasantries at the funeral of Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu.
Atsu, who played for the Ghanaian national team and several clubs across Europe, died tragically in an earthquake that struck Turkey in February. His death shook the football world and prompted an outpouring of condolences from fans and fellow players alike.
The funeral, which was held in Accra on Thursday, was attended by a wide range of dignitaries, including top government officials, sports personalities, and members of the public. However, it was the unexpected display of unity among the country’s political heavyweights that caught the attention of many.
President Nana Akuffo Addo, who was attending the funeral in his capacity as head of state, was seen shaking hands and chatting amicably with former President John Mahama, who was also in attendance. The two men, who have been bitter political rivals for years, were seen laughing and sharing jokes, seemingly oblivious to their past animosity.
Vice President Dr. Bawumia, who is widely regarded as a potential presidential candidate in the future, was also seen mingling with both men. The three politicians were seen chatting animatedly, occasionally breaking into smiles and laughter.
The display of unity among the country’s top politicians was welcomed by many Ghanaians, who have grown weary of the acrimonious and divisive politics that has characterized the country’s political landscape for years.
In his tribute to Atsu, President Akuffo Addo expressed his condolences to the footballer’s family and praised him for his contribution to the country’s footballing success. He also called for unity and cooperation among Ghanaians, urging them to put aside their political differences and work together for the greater good of the country.
Former President Mahama, in his tribute, also expressed his condolences to the family and hailed Atsu’s footballing talent. He also called for an end to the divisive politics that has plagued the country, urging Ghanaians to come together and build a better future for all.
