Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on December 17, 2025, Kojo Asare revealed that he is currently unmarried and open to marrying Odo Broni after she completes the customary one-year widowhood rites.
He described Odo Broni as a very beautiful woman and stated that should she choose to enter another relationship after observing the traditional rites following Daddy Lumba’s burial, he would be interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with her.
The former MP added that he believes he would be a suitable person to be considered if Odo Broni decides to remarry in the future.
“Odo Broni is an exceptionally beautiful woman. I admire her, especially her calm and gentle nature. I feel drawn to her and would like to pursue a meaningful relationship with her after she completes her widowhood rites. It’s not about marrying her to have children together; rather, I want to help raise her six children and also preserve Daddy Lumba’s legacy,” he stated.
The former legislator also criticised those who have attacked Odo Broni amid her public disagreement with Daddy Lumba’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa, saying the insults directed at her were unfair.
Kojo Asare further disclosed his desire to marry Odo Broni, assist in raising her six children, and contribute to preserving the legacy of the late music legend.
Daddy Lumba’s final funeral rites were held on December 13, 2025, at Heroes Park in Kumasi, months after his death at the Bank Hospital in Cantonments on July 26, 2025, following an illness.
The burial ceremony was attended by several prominent figures, including Nana Acheampong, Dr Osei Kwame Despite, Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong, Kennedy Agyapong (Kenpong), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, and Dr Frank Amoakohene.
Family members present included Daddy Lumba’s children, his younger sister Faustina Fosu, Abusuapanin Kofi Owusu, and his second wife, Odo Broni, who were there to pay their last respects.
However, the late musician’s first wife, Akosua Serwaa, his elder sister Ernestina Fosu, close associate Papa Shee, and some immediate family members were absent. Their absence followed a failed attempt to secure an injunction against the funeral, amid an ongoing dispute over the burial arrangements.
