Death is always sad and painful to loved ones. But for a death so senseless and barbaric as the brutal murder of a man sleeping in his bed, it is even more painful than most.
We of NPP Canada consider ourselves as part of the family of the late Hon. J. B. Danquah. So we console ourselves even as we extend our deepest condolences to the wife, children, siblings, parents, and other family members of the late Legislator. We also extend our condolences to the entire NPP fraternity.
Hon. J. B. Danquah was a dedicated, hardworking, and noble legislator as attested to by several politicians from across the political divide. He was a very compassionate man who went the extra mile to take care of the poor in his constituency. Indeed, Ghana has lost such an astute legislator and a nationalist.
NPP Canada hereby asks for calm from all Ghanaians and residents of Ghana. Let us not allow ourselves to be side-tracked by those who may wish to cynically exploit this unfortunate incident for less than noble purposes. The Ghana Police has risen to the occasion before. NPP Canada has no doubt that given the support and the tools they need, they can rise to the occasion yet again. We wish the Ghana Police well as they strive to get to the bottom of this murder.
Rest In Peace, Honourable J. B Danquah.
Damifirifa Due! Due ne amane hunu!
