It's a reunion 25 years in the making -- WWE Champion Kofi Kingston returned to his home country of Ghana on Thursday ... and the people went CRAZY FOR HIM!!!
There was dancing, there was drumming, it was a full fledged PARTY -- and for good reason, just last month, Kingston became the first African-born wrestler to EVER win the WWE Championship!!
Kingston was swarmed by fans and reporters from the second he stepped off the plane at Kotoka International Airport ... the first time he's returned to Ghana since 1994, the year he moved to the U.
