\u201cWords
\nalone cannot express our grief for our faithful party member, Chairman Jerry, as

\nand had good intentions to see the party remain in office.<\/p>\n

\nsudden death to demoralize them in fighting to make democracy grow in Ghana.<\/p>\n

He
\ndonated GH\u00a220,000 towards the funeral in addition to GH\u00a22,000 donated by the
\nNPP through its General Secretary, John Boadu.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nOpoku Bobbie, Ahafo Regional Minister, also spoke positively about the late
\nchairman. He recounted his contributions and commitment towards the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis
\nefforts contributed towards bringing into fruition the creation of our region.
\nYou shall forever be remembered as one of the pillars of our region,\u201d the
\nminister said.<\/p>\n

Chairman
\nJerry died untimely on 6th<\/sup> July 2019 in a ghastly accident on the Acherensua-Kenyasi
\nroad when he was returning from a funeral at Hwediem.<\/p>\n
