Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Rashid Tanko-Computer, has revealed that the late Defence Minister, Dr Omane Boamah, never informed close colleagues about his trip on the day of the tragic military helicopter crash. "In fact, in the morning, we had a close discussion with Dr Omane Boamh around 7 am.
It was virtual.
Because he mostly does meetings virtually," he said on JoyNews' PM Express.
The Acting CEO of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) described Dr Boamah as a man who valued time. "He was a type who wanted to use that maximise time, instead of people coming together, sitting around, he would say, 'Let's use the social media platforms to do our discussions.' So most of our meetings were held virtually in the run-up to the 2024 election." Mr Tanko-Computer recalled first working with him in 2023 when they met at then-candidate John Mahama's office. "That was the day I got to know that NPP were out for trouble in the 2024 election." On the morning of the crash, Dr Boamah was deeply engaged in election strategy. "Around 7.45 am, Dr Omane was giving us strategies on how to go about the Akwatia by-election.
