Wassa East MP Isaac Adjei Mensah has lauded Ghanaians for setting aside political differences during state funeral rites honoring victims of the August 6 helicopter tragedy.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue Saturday, the lawmaker highlighted rare national unity across regional and partisan lines.
“North, East, South, and West—we all came together in this mourning,” Mensah reflected. He attended both the Black Star Square state funeral August 15 and burials at Tse Addo Military Cemetery, noting President Mahama’s leadership ensured dignified, apolitical ceremonies. “The president provided the direction, and everybody can bet politics stayed out,” he emphasized.
Mensah expressed hope the collective grieving process would offer solace to bereaved families and the nation. “We hope this closure takes effect,” he added, calling the moment a testament to Ghana’s shared humanity beyond divisions.
