The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has apologised to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) over celebrations and comments allegedly made by some of its supporters following the tragic military helicopter crash that claimed eight (8) lives.
Speaking during a visit to the NDC’s national headquarters on Wednesday, 13 August, NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua condemned the remarks captured in a viral TikTok video, stressing that they did not reflect the sentiments of the party.
“It is important that, in times like these, we also show solidarity. Indeed, there are certain comments made by foot soldiers or even individuals not closely associated with the party. But when such unfortunate, condemnable statements arise, it is important for the leadership to distance ourselves and make it clear that this is not the character of our party.“
“The NPP would never wish death on anyone, not even our worst enemy. These kinds of remarks are unhealthy for our democracy. Death is something that not even your worst enemy would wish upon you.“
He further dismissed claims that the NPP was responsible for the crash:
Some are claiming that the NPP is behind these events, while others have gone so far as to say they expected more people to have died. Such remarks are dangerous and must be condemned by all well-meaning Ghanaians.
