The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has strongly condemned offensive social media commentary by individuals linked to the party in the wake of the recent Z-9 military helicopter crash.

Speaking during a courtesy visit to the national headquarters of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Kodua criticised comments made by the TikTok users believed to be affiliated with the NPP, describing them as “unfortunate and condemnable” and not reflective of the party’s principles.

“It is important that, in times like these, we also show solidarity,” he stated.

Mr. Kodua extended an apology on behalf of the NPP, saying:

“If anything offensive or inappropriate has come from our side, I would like, on behalf of our party, to offer an apology to the NDC and, through you, to His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama.

Such behaviour does not reflect the position of the New Patriotic Party, and we will never condone it.”
