Vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in a tribute to mark the one year anniversary of the passing of his former press aide Kwabena Boadu, said a “large void” has been left in his life.

Boadu died in the Upper West region on November 24, 2016 in the line of duty.

In a Facebook post on Friday, Dr. Bawumia penned that his life “has never been and will never be the same again.”

He added: “The pain never goes away. The void is too large to fill.”

“I miss Kwabena every single day. He was an unassuming, caring and brilliant young man who became my rock. I keep asking God “why?”

“Kwabena, I miss you so much. You are my hero. May your soul rest in peace until we meet again,” Dr. Bawumia stated.

On Friday, November 24, 2017 he made a private visit to the graveside of Boadu with close associates at the Achimota Cemetery where prayers were said and wreaths were laid on behalf of the New Patriotic Party and the family.

A Memorial Service will be held on December 3, 2017 at the Taifa Methodist Church.
