Former Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has expressed deep sorrow over the helicopter crash in Ghana that claimed the lives of eight individuals, including two cabinet ministers.
Among the victims were Ghana’s Minister of Defence, Edward Omane Boamah, and Minister of Environment, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, as well as military personnel and other civilians.
In a condolence message posted on his official X handle on Wednesday, Jonathan extended heartfelt sympathies to Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, the government, and the people of the country.
“I extend my deepest condolences to H.E @JDMahama, the Government and people of Ghana, and the bereaved families on the tragic incident of the military helicopter crash,” he wrote.
Describing the late ministers and others aboard the ill-fated aircraft as “dedicated patriots,” the former Nigerian leader praised their service and sacrifice.
“They were committed public servants who gave their lives in service to their country. Their passing leaves a painful void in the hearts of many,” Jonathan stated.
He further honoured their legacy, saying, “I join you in paying tribute to their patriotism and the sacrifices they made for the peace, security, and progress of Ghana.”
Jonathan concluded with a prayer for strength for the bereaved and peaceful repose of the deceased: “May God grant you, the affected families, and the people of Ghana the strength and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. And may the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.”
