The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has condemned offensive social media comments made by individuals believed to be affiliated with the party following the recent Z-9 military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives, including two ministers.
During a courtesy visit to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) headquarters, Kodua described the comments made by some TikTok users as “unfortunate and condemnable” and not reflective of the NPP’s values.
Kodua emphasized the importance of showing solidarity in times of tragedy, stating that “death is something that not even your worst enemy would wish upon you.”
He criticized the divisive and insensitive comments that have emerged from both sides of the political divide, warning that politicizing national tragedies undermines Ghana’s democratic culture.
On behalf of the NPP, Kodua extended an apology to the NDC leadership and President John Dramani Mahama, assuring them that such reckless sentiments are neither endorsed nor condoned within the party. “If anything offensive or inappropriate has come from our side, I would like, on behalf of our party, to offer an apology,” he said.
The NPP’s apology comes as the party seeks to maintain peaceful and respectful political relations with the NDC. Kodua reaffirmed the party’s commitment to this goal, while also expressing confidence in the NPP’s ability to retain the Akwatia parliamentary seat.
