Daddy Lumba honoured; gets Nana Konadu, Rawlings and Kufuor dancing!

The maiden edition of the Legends and Legacy Ball which honoured legendary highlight singer, Daddy Lumba over the weekend would be remembered as a historic event not only for the format it took but the ability of organizers to pull in former presidents JJ Rawlings with his wife, Nana Konadu Agyeman and John Agyekum Kufuor.

The two former presidents who are often portrayed as adversaries, sat together with Daddy Lumba and even danced together during some of the performance on the night. The two also interacted with each other and even shared laughs to the delight of the over 2000 people who attended the show.
