Kwabena Jumah, son of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GIHOC Distilleries, Maxwell Kofi Jumah has finally tied the knot with President Akufo-Addo’s last daughter, Edwina Nana Dokua Akufo-Addo.
The private traditional marriage which started at about 10am at the Jubilee House was strictly limited to invited guests.
Kwabena Jumah, son of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GIHOC Distilleries, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, has in a private traditional ceremony married President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s last daughter, Edwina Nana Dokua Akufo-Addo.
The event as reported by dailyguidenetwork.com was held at the seat of government, Jubilee House, and was strictly by invitation for the guests.
It will be recalled that last year in October, pictures and videos went viral after the two love birds held a private family introduction at the Presidential Villa, which event was attended by the respective families and top guns of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP.
In some of the viral videos and pictures, CEO of GIHOC Distilleries, Maxwell Kofi Jumah was seen draped in traditional Kente cloth while President Akufo-Addo was seen in white long sleeves with black trousers to witness his daughter’s special day.
One of the videos which emerged also showed the president asking his daughter if she was ready to accept Kwabena Jumah as her husband-to-be which she responded in the affirmative.
Also in attendance at the beautiful ceremony were First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo and the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia together with second lady Samira Bawumia.
Some NPP stalwarts and other dignitaries also graced the occasion.
However, news portal dailyguidenetwork.com reports that the earlier reported marriage ceremony was rather a private introduction ceremony.
Kofi Jumah, detailing how his son met the president’s daughter, said the two love birds met in America at a time when they both did not know the profile of their parents.
According to him, his son told him about the young lady over a year ago and he said he didn’t know she was the daughter of the President until they met later.
“My son told me that they met in America, and she did not know that I am his father, and he did not know that the President was her father.
He said they had known each other for the past four years,” he said.
He continued that “when I got to know it was the President’s daughter, I had to look at my son’s commitment level to the relationship because this is not something you can go into and leave just like that. I needed to be sure he was into the young lady,” he added.
The NPP stalwart commended the President’s daughter for her humility and pleaded with Ghanaians not to involve politics in the marriage of their children.
He also refuted assertions that their marriage was arranged.
Meanwhile, the white wedding of the couple has been slated for the weekend.
