History Made: Lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen Meets Hon. Dr. Alex Yaw Baako (Nana Aboroso) for the First Time at Wontumi TV Premises
In a rare and symbolic encounter, celebrated legal luminary and former Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen, has met for the very first time with renowned philanthropist and businessman, Hon. Dr. Alex Yaw Baako, popularly known as Nana Aboroso.
The historic meeting took place at the premises of Wontumi TV, where both influential personalities had been scheduled for separate interviews. Their unexpected but warm interaction instantly caught the attention of onlookers, staff, and media executives, many of whom described it as a powerful moment of unity, leadership, and national inspiration.
While the two men hail from distinct backgrounds—Lawyer Obiri Boahen from the legal and political arena, and Dr. Baako from the realms of business and philanthropy—they share a deep commitment to national development, youth empowerment, and community service.
Speaking briefly after their meeting, Lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen praised Nana Aboroso’s charitable works and grassroots leadership:
“I have heard of Nana Aboroso’s good works for years—his dedication to improving lives through education, healthcare, and job creation. Meeting him today only confirms that he is a silent achiever doing great things for Ghana. He deserves national commendation.”
On his part, Nana Aboroso, who has become a household name in the Western Region and parts of Ghana for his wide-ranging benevolence, expressed deep admiration for the legal icon:
“It is an honour to meet Lawyer Obiri Boahen—one of Ghana’s brightest minds and fearless defenders of constitutional democracy. His legacy in politics and law continues to shape national discourse. I’m hopeful this meeting leads to meaningful collaboration for national good.”
Though informal, the meeting provided an opportunity for the two to reflect on challenges facing the country and the need for strategic partnerships between political leaders and the private sector, especially in youth development, education, and job creation.
Observers believe this rare encounter could be the beginning of a powerful alliance between statesmanship and grassroots development.
Staff of Wontumi TV, where the meeting took place, were visibly excited, noting the positive energy and mutual respect between the two leaders. One senior producer described it as a “defining moment” in the station’s history.
As word of the encounter spreads, many Ghanaians—particularly in the Ashanti and Western Regions—are optimistic that it signals a future of stronger collaboration between experienced political actors and philanthropic entrepreneurs to drive inclusive development.
