He said,”if we want to mention the names of three people in the constituency that are very strong and supportive to the party, Osman Yussif (Nanao) can never be sidelined”
He added that the party owes Nanao a lot and that was why he asked that the party itself should perform his funeral in their own way before the family as it was done.
“we owe Nanao a lot as far as the NPP party is concerned. If I say we owe Nanao, it does not mean we borrowed money from him and didn’t pay. It does not also mean that we bought something from him and didn’t pay but anytime I remember our struggles with Nanao in opposition and now that we are in power that he left us without even benefiting from the party. This is the reason why I say we owe him”
The party executives led by the Hon. MP donated GHC 1500.00 to the children of Nanao and also donated an undisclosed amount of money in two different envelopes to the two wives of Nanao.
The Honorable Member of Parliament concluded by giving thanks to all the attendees for making it to the funeral.

May all the departed souls rest in perfect peace”.
