Vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has confessed he is still struggling to come to terms with the death of his press aide Kwabena Boadu a few days going into the 2016 elections.
“It’s very difficult to talk about Kwabena Boadu in the past tense… because it’s a situation that I’m still trying to come to terms with,” Dr. Bawumia sobbed in a short video dubbed #KwabenaOurHero in memory of the 30-year-old.
According to him, his relationship with the late Boadu went beyond a boss and a subordinate because they gelled as confidantes.
“Kwabena Boadu was a colleague. He came to work as my press aide, he became a friend, a confidante and a younger brother and we drew closer and closer through the years. He was so instrumental in a lot of the things I did. He is a sharp-minded person and brilliant,” the former deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana stressed.
Dr. Bawumia doubts anyone can step into Boadu’s shoes. He added: “For someone who got trained as a political scientist, his understanding of the economy over the years evolved. It was something quite nice to see. He edited a lot of my papers and drafted many speeches. I don’t ever think that void can be filled.
“His passing is a major loss. Not only to me but to our party and the country. He worked hard for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to win this election. He was one of the key architects of our election victory. He was a strategist and was consumed by his work… He had a good sense of humour but was quiet. I will really miss Kwabena. He is irreplaceable.”
Boadu died on November 24, 2016 in the line of duty at Wa. His burial ceremony will take place at the forecourt of the State House on February 4, 2017.

I TRULY SUSPECT FOUL PLAY IN THIS YOUNG MAN'S DEATH. I BELIEVE HE WAS KILLED, AND IF THEY DIG DEEP ENOUGH, THEY WILL DISCOVER THAT HE WAS SETUP FOR MURDER THROUGH THE ELECTRIC SHOCK. SUCH A FINE BRILLIANT YOUNG MAN GONE TOO SOON. GOD HELP US AND SAVE HIS SOUL. MAY HIS GENTLE SOUL REST IN PEACE. GOD KNOWS AND GOD COMFORTS....MAY GOD COMFORT HIS PARENTS, SIBLINGS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN THIS DIFFICULT MOMENTS.
You guys should grow up and stop this cheap politics cos it wont help u, am surprise someones pain is a propaganda politics to u, thi s will make u stay in opposition for more years paaa. If bloood is what is to be sacrificed to win power then u are telling Ghanaians straight forward that NDC sacrificed Atta Mills to come to power....grow up guys
kofigoo, mercy, simon, (you may be the same person - but it doesn't matter) I AM SURPRISE THAT YOU DON'T REALISE THAT THE IT DOESN'T TAKE HUMAN SACRIFICE TO WIN SUCH BIG VICTORIES. THE FINGER OF GOD IS MIGHTIER THAN ANY SACRIFICE, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAKES LOUDER THAN "ABEL'S" (THE LATE BOADU'S). VICTORY BELONGS TO THE LORD AND HE GIVES TO WHOMEVER HE PLEASES. MAY KWABENA'S KIND SOUL REST IN PEACE. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
you people are very dump ooo you are doing propaganda with this one too ... instead of planning how to come to power again look at what you are doing NDC ARE SERIOUS ONE BIT
Oh ooooo! sO THAT IS WHAT YOUR PEOPLE DID TO COME TO POWER.'Miller's blood was drained for sacrifice for 'Jadee' to win power. You see what one does in secret shall surely be brought to light and judgment. Confess well and encourage your partners in that crime to do same, and God shall have mercy upon you.Or your bones shall rot.
HMMMMMMMMM! Circumstances surrounding your death is still hard to understand. Only God. Poor boy, Rest in Peace
ONE WONDERS WHETHER HUMAN BEINGS GO TO CHURCH OR THE MOSQUE FOR PRAYERS DAY IN DAY OUT REALLY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND SEEK SALVATION OR JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT. HOW CAN PEOPLE WHO KILLED THIS YOUNG MAN,DRAINED HIS BLOOD FOR RITUAL PURPOSES TO ENABLE THEM WIN POWER TURN AROUND AND PRETEND THEY ARE SAD BCOS OF HIS DEATH. ARE THEY DECEIVING GOD OR THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS?.
