President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of Ghana turns 77 today, Monday 29 March 2021, and he is already trending on social media with birthday wishes from Ghanaians from all walks of life.
One of the messages that got Ghanaians talking came from his wife, Rebecca Akufo-Addo. It was a simple but loaded message, perhaps taking inspiration from one of Irene Logan’s old tracks, “My Mind Dey”.
The song starts thus:
Boy I love you
I no dey lie
Boy I need you
Can’t deny
When you no dey
My heart dey go
When I’m with you
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go ma baby
The president’s response:
Thank you my beautiful Rebecca ❤️
