The news of Dr. Samuel Sarpong’s tragic death in a helicopter crash sent shockwaves through the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia was particularly devastated by the loss of his close ally and friend. Despite his tough exterior, Nketia’s emotions got the better of him as he paid a solemn visit to Dr. Sarpong’s family.
As he sat in the living room, surrounded by the bereaved family, Nketia’s composure began to crumble. He broke down in tears, overcome with grief, as he recounted the circumstances surrounding Dr. Sarpong’s untimely demise. The room fell silent, with only the sound of Nketia’s sobs breaking the stillness.
Nketia remembered Dr. Sarpong’s dedication to the party and his unwavering commitment to the cause. He recalled how Dr. Sarpong had been slated to represent him at a program in Obuasi and had just received his appointment as Board Chairman for Cocoa Processing Company. The thought of what could have been, had Dr. Sarpong’s life not been cut short, was almost too much to bear.
As Nketia wept, the other party executives present were moved to tears as well. The room was filled with an outpouring of grief, as they all mourned the loss of a man who had touched so many lives. Despite the pain and sadness, Nketia found solace in his faith, urging everyone to trust in divine will.
The visit was a testament to the strong bond between Nketia and Dr. Sarpong, and the impact Dr. Sarpong had on the party. As Nketia left the family home, he knew that Dr. Sarpong’s legacy would live on, and his memory would continue to inspire others.
