A video of the founder of Eastwood Anaba Ministries, Reverend Eastwood Anaba, narrating how President Akufo-Addo facilitated the return of some Ghanaians stranded in Cuba at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has surfaced online.
In a video spotted by GhanaWeb on TikTok, Reverend Eastwood Anaba described how, while hosting the Shepherd's Summit at the National Theatre, he got wind of the news and sought the help of the president.
Despite doubts from people that it would be difficult to gain the President's attention, Reverend Anaba went to the Jubilee House, where he was welcomed warmly and granted an audience with President Akufo-Addo.
“Somebody was sick in Cuba and went for treatment and had to come back home. This was just before COVID-19. I was doing Shepherd's Summit at the National Theatre. I got up and said, ‘Let me go and meet President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo'.
"People told me, ‘Hey, the President will not mind you,’ but I went to the Jubilee House. And when I went, they said, ‘Reverend, you are welcome.’ I said I was coming to see the big man; they asked me, ‘Do you have an appointment with him?’ I said, ‘No, it's an emergency.’ They said, ‘Okay, we'll tell him you are here.’ I sat down for a few minutes. Afterwards, they came and said, ‘He said you can come.’
The reverend stated how, in their meeting, President Akufo-Addo attentively noted his concerns and assured him that the matter would be addressed.
True to his word, within weeks, the individuals were safely brought back to Ghana.
“I told him there is somebody I know, a Ghanaian who is in Cuba with other people. They are sick. They have to come home. He looked at me, wrote it down, and said, ‘Osofo Panyin, it shall be done.’ Within a few weeks, they had been brought back from Cuba to Ghana,” he said.
