The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, widely known as COKA, has paid a Christmas visit to ailing veteran Ghanaian actor Kwaku Twumasi, during which he presented him with assorted gifts and an undisclosed amount of money to support his upkeep.
The visit took place on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, as part of COKA’s Christmas engagements with loved ones and long-standing associates. Speaking during the visit, Odeneho Kwaku Appiah described Kwaku Twumasi as an old friend who stood by him during his youthful days, stressing that the gesture was motivated by gratitude and appreciation.
