Kufuor’s family member breaks silence on 51-year-old man claiming to be son of the former president
Apau Gyamfi, a niece of former president Kufour, has responded to 51-year-old Kwamena Nuamah, who recently claimed that Kufuor is his biological father.
According to Gyamfi, there are appropriate channels through which Kwamena could reach out to the former president if he is indeed his son.
Speaking in an interview with Lawson TV, shared on YouTube, Gyamfi cautioned Nuamah to refrain from seeking attention by moving from one media outlet to another.
“You’ve seen the house, so there’s no need to go out there and say certain things. For us, we don’t reject people. If President Kufuor is your father, that’s not news. Just use the right channels to get what you are looking for.”
He continued, “You’ve said you know the house, so why not go there directly and stop using social media? The man is elderly.”
Kwamena Nuamah, a tipper truck driver from Bogoso, recounted his lifelong struggle to discover his father’s identity during an interview on Lawson TV on April 1, 2025.
According to him, he was raised by his grandmother for 39 years after his mother abandoned him at a young age.
He explained that his mother had traveled to Kumasi Railways to seek a livelihood and became pregnant while there.
However, she never disclosed the identity of the man responsible for the pregnancy.
He explained that when he was just a year and six months old, his mother left him in the care of his grandmother and traveled to Côte d’Ivoire. Upon her return, she fell ill and later passed away, leaving behind unanswered questions about his paternity.
Nuamah revealed that a classmate of his late mother repeatedly told him that his father was a great man, and he was not living a life befitting of his true status. This led him on a quest to uncover the truth.
“I went to Apagyafie in the Ashanti Region, and I was told that my father is former President Kufuor. I also sought help from Chairman Wontumi, who contacted NPP Women’s Organizer Nana Ama Ampomah. She asked me to take a picture of my mother for further verification,” Nuamah stated.
According to him, despite multiple efforts to meet Kufuor and confirm his claim, he has been unsuccessful.
