Accompanied by his family, Stevie Wonder, renowned for his soulful melodies and profound lyrics, expressed his joy and gratitude during a brief ceremony at the Jubilee House.
“I guess it’s just the lineage I felt Ghana, I felt my civilization was there and I was there where it began. So, I thank all of you so very much. I always say this is the beginning, [the best part of the rest of my life got to do God’s promised],” he remarked emotionally.
This significant gesture underscores Ghana’s commitment to fostering ties with the international community and celebrating cultural diversity.
Stevie Wonder will continue to hold dual citizenship, honoring both his American heritage and his newly acquired Ghanaian identity.
