Ghanaian Actor Agya Koo Professes Affection for Mahama

Renowned Ghanaian actor Alex Kofi Adu, popularly known as Agya Koo, surprised attendees at a recent live band performance during a funeral when he expressed his admiration for former President John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

This unexpected declaration holds significant weight in Ghanaian politics, given Agya Koo’s previous vocal support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and President Akufo-Addo.

Speaking candidly to the crowd, Agya Koo revealed his close relationship with Mahama, disclosing that the former president frequently invites him to his residence for discussions.

“We’ve never had elections in Ghana that lead to fights. When Nana Addo is in power, I support the government; if Mahama comes to power, I’ll support his government too,” Agya Koo declared, emphasizing his non-partisan stance.

The actor’s unexpected proclamation came after the audience chanted ‘Mahama’ during his performance, prompting him to pause and address the incident, expressing his displeasure. The crowd’s reaction to his words was a mix of surprise and curiosity, as they were used to Agya Koo’s vocal support for the NPP.

In a video shared online, Agya Koo halts his performance to respond to the individual who called out Mahama’s name. Known for his open support of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and President Akufo-Addo, Agya Koo’s sudden shift in admiration towards Mahama marks a surprising turn of events, leaving the audience intrigued.

Despite his political affiliations, Agya Koo passionately underscored the need for unity and tolerance among Ghanaians, inspiring hope and a sense of togetherness. He highlighted the diverse political backgrounds of his band members as a testament to his message.

“We have members from the NDC and NPP in our band. We work together harmoniously because we are all Ghanaians,” he affirmed, noting the varied political roles of his bandmates, including an NPP organizer and NDC drummers.

Agya Koo’s remarks reflect a deep respect for differing political views, resonating with the audience at the funeral grounds and making them feel acknowledged and respected.
