Former President John Dramani Mahama is said to have promised to foot the funeral expenses of boxer, Bukom Banku’s late mother, including buying a golden coffin for her burial.
Bukom Banku in an interview on Asempa FM disclosed that he had lost his mother after 17years of battling with sickness.
In another interview with SVTV Africa, he noted that he would prefer a golden casket for his late mom and Mr Mahama has promised to get him that.
According to him, he won’t be spending a pesewa on the funeral because his rich fathers in the country will take care of everything.
“I told Mahama that I want a golden coffin for my mother’s funeral. I will not spend [any money] on this funeral because my fathers are there,” Bukom Banku said.
He further noted that he’ll do everything to ensure his mother is buried in Accra where most people know him.
