A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communication team, Dr. Ezekiel Agyekum-Obeng, has stated that the ruling party is experiencing significant “mental distress.”
Dr. Agyekum-Obeng highlighted that recent events within the NPP, including the untimely deaths of Ken City Media’s Wofa Kwabena Kwakye and former Ejisu MP Hon John Kumah, have placed the party in a situation where its members may require mental health support.
Speaking on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” morning show, he discussed the fatal accident involving the presidential convoy on the Accra-Kumasi highway.
The convoy collided with a KIA Rhino truck at the Bunso-Akyem Asafo stretch, resulting in the death of a driver and serious injuries to others.
President Akufo-Addo was not involved in the accident, as he traveled back to Accra in a military aircraft after attending a series of events in Kumasi.
The President, along with several NPP members and dignitaries, had attended the funeral of Deputy Finance Minister John Kumah over the weekend.
Dr. Agyekum-Obeng emphasized the need for psychotherapy for the accident victims and the entire party.
“As a party, mentally, we are distressed. If you look at these key personalities and coming from our brother, the late John Kumah’s funeral to meet another accident, as a party, we are in somehow difficult times”, he said.
