A powerful and emotional scene unfolded in Kwahu during the 2025 Easter festivities when former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and current President John Dramani Mahama met in a rare and touching display of unity.
The encounter took place on Sunday, April 20, 2025, at the residence of Mr. Mike Twum Barimah in Kwahu Obomeng. Akufo-Addo, who has long made it a tradition to celebrate Easter in Kwahu, was already present when President Mahama, accompanied by the Chief of Staff and other dignitaries, arrived.
What followed was a heartfelt exchange. The two political heavyweights, often seen on opposing sides of Ghana’s political divide, warmly embraced each other, sharing smiles and pleasantries in a moment that has since gone viral online.
The peaceful gesture captured in the video was widely celebrated across social media platforms, with many Ghanaians describing it as a hopeful sign for national unity. Despite belonging to rival political parties, both leaders showed mutual respect, reminding citizens that Ghana’s peace and progress must always come first.
In a social media post reflecting on the occasion, Akufo-Addo highlighted the personal and national significance of Kwahu Easter for him, noting that he has marked the celebration there for nearly twenty years. This year’s gathering, however, stood out for the spirit of camaraderie and hope it inspired.
The Kwahu Easter festival has become more than just a religious or cultural event—it is now a platform that unites citizens from all walks of life. And this year, the image of two former presidents embracing amidst festivities has become a powerful symbol of peace, maturity, and the kind of leadership many Ghanaians long to see more often.
