The ‘former’ Ghanaian celebrated his new citizenship as a Dutch citizen after securing the necessary documents to that effect.
Kofi Gabs (also known as Presido Gabs) considers himself a digital content creator and has been based in the Netherlands for the past few years.
In announcing his official switch from Ghanaian to Dutch citizenship, Gabus acknowledged the role Ghana played in giving him a passport to the Netherlands.
In a video posted on his social media handles (X and Facebook), he was heard saying: “Ghana, today (Wednesday, May 8, 2024) after 12 o’clock. And I am no longer your citizen.
“But I am very grateful to you for giving me this book (Ghana Passport) which paved the way for me to obtain a new citizenship. Thank you and God bless you.”
Most commenters on social media congratulated him on his new citizenship.
After receiving his new citizenship documents, he posted photos and videos. One of his videos is of a party he threw for himself after officially becoming Dutch.
