The Minority in Parliament has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives, including two Cabinet Ministers, calling on Ghanaians to unite in grief and honour the fallen through acts of national service.
In a statement signed by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin on August 6, the caucus described the incident as a profound national loss that “touches the very soul of our Nation.”
Among the deceased are Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Muniru Mohammed, NDC Vice Chairman Dr. Samuel Sarpong, and former parliamentary candidate Samuel Aboagye.
Three military personnel also perished: Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Mane-Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
Afenyo-Markin offered personal reflections on Dr. Omane Boamah and Dr. Murtala Mohammed, describing them as passionate public servants whose legacies transcend political affiliations.
“To the grieving families, our hearts go out to you in your darkest hour,” the statement read.
The Minority reaffirmed its solidarity with the President and the entire nation during this period of mourning and encouraged citizens to honour the memory of the victims by supporting Ghana’s Armed Forces, protecting the environment, and promoting national unity.
“May their souls rest in perfect peace, and may their memories remain everlasting beacons of light,” the statement concluded.
