Although the details of when and where the picture was taken were not stated, the black and white portrait photo shared by Rebecca Naa Okaikor Akufo-Addo, on her Facebook page, showed her clad in a flowery dress and a pair of circled earrings which complicated her neatly combed afro hair.
Parts of the caption accompanying the photo read;
“Here in this picture is a 20-year-old Rebecca Griffiths-Randolph. Unassuming, coy, and bustling in her post-teenage fickleness. Like many young girls around that age, I’m not sure I knew exactly what my life held for me.”
She used the moment to urge Ghanaians to vote for her husband, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for a second term in office.
“I urge you once again to be our voice on the 7th of December and we will be yours for the next four years as we work together to move Ghana towards her manifest destiny. For the battle is the Lord’s. Vote 4 more to do more.” Mrs Akufo-Addo wrote.
Born on March 12, 1951, the current First Lady of Ghana is the wife of President Nana Akufo-Addo, 5th President of the 4th Republic of Ghana.
