Speaking at the state burial for the former first lady at the forecourt of the State House on Thursday, November 16, 2023, the former president said Ghana had become poorer over the loss of the late Theresa Kufuor.

“She was a great person, she was a good first lady, she was very respectable, and Ghana is poorer for a death. And so we wish her a perfect rest and extend our condolences to the former president,” Mr Mahama said.

Mrs Kufour died at her home in Peduase on Sunday, October 1, at 87.

The final funeral rites will be performed for the former first lady at the Heroes Park in Kumasi on Saturday, November 18.

She will be given a private burial.
