It didn’t take long after Kofi Kingston won his WWE Championship at WrestleMania to comment how a return to his home country of Ghana is due for the first African-born WWE Champion and now it’s becoming a reality.
Kingston has previously stated that he hasn’t been in Ghana since 1993, so he was excited to share the news today that a return is now scheduled.
Pulse of Ghana shared the press release written by Kofi’s team regarding his upcoming four day trip on May 30 to June 2 and how he’ll meet with President Akufo-Addo and the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II when he does come to visit. A WWE film crew will also be joining to document the historic moment. Kofi released an announcement of his own on Instagram expressing excitement for the upcoming journey back to his place of birth. Both are below:
KOFI KINGSTON’S HISTORIC VISIT TO GHANA
The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Champion, Kofi “Kingston” Sarkodie-Mensah, is visiting his homeland.
The World Champion considers this “Year of Return” as a unique opportunity for him to make a historic visit to Ghana at the height of his wrestling career.
The four-day visit which starts from Thursday, 30th May, 2019 to Sunday, 2nd June, 2019, includes a courtesy call on the President of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Presidency. He will then be at the Manhyia Palace to pay homage to the Asante Monarch, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
Other activities include a Children’s Rally, visits to Tourist Sites and places like the Lake Bosomtwe, the Christianborg (Osu) Castle, Bonwire and Ntonso, a visit to the Mother and Baby Unit at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, and visits to Ejisu and Atwima Techiman which are his paternal and maternal hometowns respectively.

They look forward to a warm reception, as well as the experience of the proverbial Ghanaian hospitality.
