NDC Praises Omane Boamah’s Unwavering Courage
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described the late Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah as “utterly fearless” and more than a political strategist, recognising his contributions to the party and the country.
The tribute was delivered by NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey on behalf of the party during an interdenominational state funeral on Friday, August 15.
Dr. Omane Boamah was among eight people who died in the August 6 military helicopter crash in the Ashanti Region. The crash also claimed the lives of Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation; former parliamentary candidate for Obuasi East Samuel Aboagye; NDC Vice Chairman Samuel Sarpong; and Alhaji Limuna Muniru Mohammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator.
The crew members who perished were Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Manin Twum-Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
