The Agogo Traditional Council, the Aduana Royal Family, Nana Afrakoma Kusi Obuadum, Queenmother of Agogo, and the people of Agogo have expressed their profound appreciation for the overwhelming support received during the one-week observance of the late Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong, Paramount Chief of Agogo.
In a joint statement, the family said, “The unprecedented outpouring of love, respect, sympathy and solidarity from across Ghana and beyond is a testament to the remarkable life, exemplary leadership, and enduring legacy of our late Paramount Chief.
We are deeply humbled by the support shown to Agogoman and the Royal Family.”
The statement acknowledged the many individuals and institutions who travelled long distances, sent messages of condolence, offered prayers, made donations, or simply stood in quiet solidarity with the people of Agogo.
“In moments of loss, communities often discover the true measure of a life.
The response to the passing of Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong revealed not only the affection held for the late Omanhene, but also the enduring bonds that connect Agogo to the wider Ghanaian and global community”, it said.
The statement said for decades, Nana Akuoko Sarpong stood as a respected voice in traditional leadership, adding that “a lawyer, diplomat, development advocate and custodian of culture, he embodied a form of leadership that understood the importance of preserving heritage while engaging the future.
His influence reached far beyond the boundaries of Agogoman, touching national conversations on governance, culture, education and development.”
It said as the rites of passage continue and Agogoman prepares for the next stages of observance, the kingdom remains anchored by the values and vision of a leader whose legacy will continue to inspire generations.
“The lion may sleep, but the legacy endures”, the statement added.
