Mahama highlighted Nana Akuoko Sarpong's five-decade reign and his contributions to Ghanaian law, politics, and national governance during his tenure as Secretary for Health, Secretary for the Interior, and Secretary for Chieftaincy Affairs during the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) regime, as well as his role in the formation of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Fourth Republic. The President emphasized the late chief's family ties, stating that their relationship goes beyond traditional leadership, and assured the Agogo Traditional Council of a befitting funeral for the late Omanhene. The funeral is scheduled to take place from 24 to 26 November 2026 at Agogo in the Ashanti Region.",
