Founder and leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo, has issued a heartfelt apology to Ghanaians and the bereaved families of the eight victims of the August 6, 2025, military helicopter crash in the Adansi Akrofuom District.
The apology comes after Akpaloo faced public criticism for his earlier remarks, which many described as insensitive and disrespectful to the memory of the deceased and the grieving families.
Akpaloo had attributed the crash to divine intervention, suggesting that the location of the crash on a cocoa farm was a symbolic reminder to politicians not to lie to cocoa farmers.
He referenced the government's promise to increase cocoa prices from GH¢3,100 to GH¢6,000, which was not fully fulfilled.
