The US music legend, Stevie Wonder arrived in Ghana following a decision in 2021 to permanently relocate to the West African country.

He was captured at the Kotoka International Airport, mobbed by fans and industry players on Monday morning.

It appears Stevie has finally had his wish fulfilled after he declared in February 2021, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey explaining his decision to move to Ghana, citing the political turmoil in the United States.
