According to his colleague Saddick Adams, Aduonum has been attending tournaments with Afua including the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea Afcon 2015. The act defines the special bond he shares with his wife.

Kofi Aduonum has been trending on social media after a video of him holding a placard at the sing-a-thon event grounds went viral.

He was seen in his wife’s T-shirt holding a placard with the inscription ‘More strength Afua’.

He stood before his wife’s ‘performing space’, waving the placard as she smiled and waved back.

An unidentified woman was captured in the background heaping praises on Afua’s husband, for gracefully honouring his wife.

Prior to this development, Afua’s husband has been captured severally in the company of his in-laws, leading the support team for the feat.
