His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, along with a number of prominent party members, has offered the late Ga Manye’s family their sympathies and support.
While attending the ongoing funeral procession of the late Queen Mother (Ga Manye), the President kindly donated GHC 100,000 to cover Naa Dedei Omaedru III’s funeral costs.
In light of the late Queen’s passing, member of parliament for Tema East Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover accepted the donation on behalf of the President and expressed his condolences to the bereaved family as well as the entire Ga State.
Dr. Bawumia, the first and second ladies of the republic, and several representatives from the New Patriotic Party were also present at the funeral. The latter provided GH¢10,000 to support the funeral arrangements and other items like boxes of Malt, Heineken, water, whisky, and other miscellaneous items.
On June 19, 2023, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo opened a book of condolences in memory of Ga Manye, Naa Dedei Omaedru III, who passed away in December 2022.

Earlier on, we reported that despite being hit with an injunction, the funeral planners for the late Ga Manye, Naa Dedei Omaedru III, say they will still hold the service on Saturday.
An injunction obtained against it by certain interested parties caused the funeral to previously encounter difficulties. For the following ten days, the funeral planners were forbidden from holding the funeral.
But in an interview with Eyewitness News, Nii Ayikoi Otoo, the president of the Ga Adangbe Council and a member of the funeral planning committee, made it clear that the funeral would proceed according to schedule because they had not yet received the court documents.
He maintains that the funeral will take place at the Ga Mantse Palace and feels that the organizers cannot be sued because they were given the task of organizing the funeral.
