In an emotional tribute to his former aide captured on a video and posted on Facebook, Dr Bawumia said it was ‘very difficult to talk about Kwabena Boadu in the past tense. Because it’s a situation that I’m still trying to come to terms with.”

Dr Bawumia went on to describe the late Kwabena Boadu as ‘a clolleague,, a friend, a confidante and a younger brother” in the five years the pair worked together.

His passing is a major loss. Not only to me but to our party and the country. He worked hard for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to win this election. He was one of the key architects of our election victory. He was a strategist and was consumed by his work… He had a good sense of humour but was quiet. I will really miss Kwabena. He is irreplaceable.”

President Nana Akufo-Addo had described him as "gem" and an  “intelligent young man with a bright future.”

In a series of Tweet, Nana Akufo-Addo said the NPP is saddened by Boadu's death, sending his deepest condolence to his family.
