Ghanaians have taken to social media to mourn the passing of former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, who died at the age of 76. <\/p>\n

The sad news, which broke on Thursday, October 23, has prompted an outpouring of grief and tributes across various platforms.<\/p>\n

Nana Konadu, wife of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, served as Ghana\u2019s First Lady from 1981 to 2001 and was a pioneering advocate for women\u2019s empowerment.<\/p>\n

Through the 31st December Women\u2019s Movement, she championed education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for women, especially in rural communities.<\/p>\n

Across X (formerly Twitter), many Ghanaians have described her as a bold, visionary, and inspirational figure whose legacy continues to shape Ghana\u2019s political and social landscape.<\/p>\n

One message read, \u201cBest First Lady Ghana has ever had. RIP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another X user wrote, \u201cMy heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, and all who mourn her loss. May you find strength, peace, and comfort in this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another tribute said, \u201cI\u2019m saddened to hear about the passing of Mrs Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings. The longest-serving First Lady of Ghana. She is one of the strongest and most assertive women I have met. Indeed, a Konadu. May God give you eternal rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings will definitely be remembered for the impact she made with the 31st December Women\u2019s Movement.<\/p>\n

This is sad news. But if there\u2019s anything like life thereafter, I believe she gets to join Papa J.#RIPNanaKonadu pic.twitter.com\/eIZljl7A9w<\/p>\n
