Dr Samuel Sarpong died in a helicopter crash with seven other persons on August 6 2025.
In an emotional display of respect, Dr Samuel Sarpong recently paid a heartfelt tribute to Ghana’s former High Commissioner to India, the late Samuel Panyin Yalley, affectionately called Sam Pee Yalley.
Following the death of the former commissioner, the National Democratic Congress, led by Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, paid a courtesy visit to his residence to offer condolences to the bereaved family.
As the mourners paid their respects, Dr Sarpong’s emotional performance on the harmonica “mouth organ” brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.
The iconic NDC song, “Cadres may go, Cadres may come but the revolution has come to stay,” was rendered by Dr Sarpong with a deep feeling, and the mourners joined in paying tribute to the fallen statesman.
Sam Pee Yalley died on April 6, 2025, after battling illness, while Dr Samuel Sarpong also lost his life in a tragic crash of the Z9 helicopter, which belonged to the Ghana Armed Forces, on August 6, 2025.
As he is expected to be buried on Friday, August 15, 2025, a video of him performing the “Revolution has come to stay” chant has surfaced.
Other persons who will be buried on August 15, 2025, are Defence Minister Dr Edward Omane Boamah, Samuel Aboagye and all three Air Force men who were the crew members of the crashed aircraft.
They are Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Malin Twum-Ampadu and Sgt. Ernest Addo Mensah.
