General Nunoo-Mensah, a figure who has served in crucial military and security roles, including Chief of Defence Staff and National Security Advisor, found comfort in the Agyeman-Rawlings family's presence during his time of grief. He fondly reminisced about his special relationship with the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, sharing cherished memories that underscored the bond they shared. His words, “I am very grateful,” conveyed the depth of his appreciation for this act of solidarity.

From the perspective of the Ghanaian Times, this visit is more than just a social call; it is a testament to the enduring legacy of camaraderie and mutual respect forged during a transformative period in our nation's history. While international observers might see this as a simple act of condoling, for us, it represents the strength of our social fabric and the importance of honoring past relationships. It highlights how personal bonds continue to be a vital part of our political and social landscape, transcending the passage of time and political shifts.
