The independent parliamentary candidate for Asante Akyem North, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, has revealed that the family of the late Kwadwo Baah Wiredu, a revered former Member of Parliament for the constituency, has honoured him.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Thursday, he said the family presented him with a piece of the late politician’s cloth from 16 years ago.
According to Mr Frimpong, the gesture symbolizes the family’s blessing for him to carry on Mr Wiredu’s legacy.
“When it comes to politics in our constituency, we can never exclude the late Kwadwo Baah Wiredu. His legacy still lives on. Everyone has noticed that the way people act and move in the area is similar to how he did. Some even describe me as his reincarnation.
“His family honoured and blessed me with a piece of his cloth from 16 years ago to continue in his ways. I believe that when you get a name, it has a spiritual attachment to it,” he shared.
Late Kwadwo Baah Wiredu, who served as a Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North from 1997 until his death in 2008, was known for his dedication to public service, holding key ministerial positions under the Kufuor administration.
Mr Frimpong believes that this honour is an endorsement of his commitment to serve the people of Asante Akyem North with the same spirit of selflessness and dedication that defined late Baah Wiredu’s political career.
