"It is very difficult to talk about Kwabena in the past tense because it is a situation that I am still trying to come to terms with," he added.
Narrating their first encounter, the Vice President noted that "when I met him, he started work as my press aide."
"Very quickly, our relationship evolved. He became a friend, a confidant, and a younger brother. We drew closer and closer through the years."
Sounding emotional and somber, Vice president Bawumia said Boadu's void can't be filled, saying he is irreplaceable.
