In a statement issued by the party's General Secretary, Hon. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC described the incident as a devastating moment, with the deceased described as “exemplary patriots” who served Ghana with “honour, courage, and unwavering dedication.”
Among those who lost their lives in the crash are: Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, Environment Minister Hon. Dr. Alhaji Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator Muniru Mohammed, former NDC parliamentary candidate Samuel Aboagye, NDC National First Vice Chairman Samuel Sarpong, and three military officers — Squadron Leader Peter Bafemi Anala, Flying Officer Mane-Twum Ampadu, and Sergeant Ernest Addo Mensah.
