August 6 demo date was not deliberate; NDC should stop politicising helicopter crash anniversary – Nana B

The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye popularly known as Nana B, has rejected claims that the party deliberately chose August 6 for its planned demonstration to disregard the first anniversary of the helicopter crash that claimed eight lives.

Responding to accusations from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) that the date selection was insensitive, Mr Nana Boakye said the party settled on the date long before it became aware of the anniversary.

Mr Nana Boakye accused the NDC of applying a double standard in raising concerns about the timing of the protest, citing previous national tragedies where he said government activities continued despite loss of lives.
