The Aboatia Family of Mpobi has paid glowing tribute to the late Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, describing her as a courageous daughter whose life’s work uplifted generations and championed the rights of women and children.
The tribute was delivered on Friday, November 28, at a solemn farewell ceremony held at Independence Square, where family members, dignitaries, and mourners gathered to honour her memory.
In their statement, the family praised Nana Konadu for breaking barriers and carrying the family’s name “to places of honour both at home and across the world,” emphasising how her public life reflected the biblical mandate to speak for the voiceless and defend the rights of the poor and the needy.
According to the Aboatia Family, Nana Konadu’s dedication to women’s and children’s empowerment stood as a “living testimony” of this calling. “In her strength we saw purpose; in her compassion we saw hope,” the tribute noted, capturing the profound impact she left on society.
The family added that although she is no longer in their sight, the legacy she built continues to shape lives and inspire many. They described her as their “role model, their Yaa Asantewaa,” and expressed pride in the path she carved for all who will follow.
