The Member of Parliament for the Bekwai Constituency, Ralph Poku-Adusei, has penned a heartfelt tribute to Pope Francis, the late leader of the Catholic Church, who passed away on April 21, 2025.
In a moving statement, the MP eulogised the pontiff as a beacon of humility, compassion, and transformative leadership, whose life profoundly impacted millions around the world.
Pope Francis, aged 88, died on Easter Monday after suffering a cerebral stroke that led to a coma and irreversible cardiac arrest.
His death has prompted an outpouring of tributes, with Poku-Adusei's words capturing the essence of the pontiff's enduring legacy. "My heart is full as I reflect on the extraordinary life of Pope Francis, a man whose humility disarmed kings, whose kindness touched millions, and whose quiet strength redefined what it means to lead with love," Poku-Adusei wrote.
