Ghana’s political landscape has been shaken by grief and sorrow following the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the life of a close associate of Communications Minister Sam George.
Yesterday, the minister took to Facebook to express his deep anguish in an emotional tribute that has since gone viral.
In a heartfelt post, Sam George mourned the untimely passing of Comrade Murtala, a figure he described as “a brother’s brother” and a man of excellence.
The post is raw, personal, and laced with sorrow, capturing the depth of pain being felt by those closest to the late comrade.
“Comrade, this was just 4th July oh. You showed excellence in everything you did. You were a brother’s brother. Always had a story or joke to tell.”
The minister’s grief was palpable as he questioned how to break the devastating news to Murtala’s family, including his young son and Hajia, presumably a close relative or the late comrade’s spouse.
“How? How do you expect me to visit Hajia now? What am I going to tell your young son?”
Closing with a gut-wrenching plea, Sam George lamented the eerie silence left behind by Murtala’s absence:
“Comrade Murtala, your silence is extremely loud. Respond to our calls!”
The crash has sent shockwaves through both political and civilian circles, with tributes pouring in from across the country. Ghanaians are united in mourning as investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the fatal accident.
As the nation grapples with this loss, Sam George’s emotional message stands as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life — and the enduring bonds of brotherhood, even in the face of tragedy.
