Jewel Will Be Sorely Missed – Mahama

Former President John Dramani Mahama has said the late Jewel Ackah will be missed by Ghanaians, particularly members of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The composer of the NDC anthem passed away after battling stroke and other sicknesses for the past 10 years.

He is said to have died at his home in the late hours of Friday, 27 April. He was 68.

The late Jewel Ackah was a supporter of the NDC and composed most of the songs the party used in campaigning during and after elections.

Mr Mahama, in a tribute on his Facebook page, said: “Jewel was a great musician who has to his credit, many albums including ‘Asomdwehene’ and the earth-shaking NDC anthem. He will be sorely missed by Ghanaians, particularly the rank and file of the NDC.

“May the good Lord grant him eternal rest and comfort his family.”
