Reports available to MyNewsGh.com indicate that the former Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ade Coker, will be buried on August 1, 2025.
MyNewsGh.com reported that the former chairman died on June 1, 2025, at the Bank Hospital, where he was receiving care after a short illness.
Ade Coker, while alive, was an instrumental political figure in the NDC whose contributions saw the party win the 2024 elections.
Several tributes pointing to his good nature as a person came in, especially from members of his political party.
National Youth Organizer George Opare Addo, in a post shared via social media, said, “I am overwhelmed with emotions and struggling to find the words. In the 2022 internal party elections, one of the few senior party members who boldly showed support for me in my reelection bid was Snr Santa Ade.
Despite losing his own election, Snr Santa Ade, as I affectionately called him, continued to support me. You served Ghana well in both politics and sports. May you rest peacefully in the bosom of the most high, Snr Santa Ade Coker”.
Chief Executive Officer for NPA, Edudzi Tamakloe, also in a post shared via social media, wrote, “I call him Chairman Ade Coker. I served under his chairmanship as a Deputy Regional Youth Organizer in Greater Accra region. He was a father figure and he taught me a lot. He taught me one thing, you can’t stop people from talking about you but learn how to react. Most importantly, get the work done. He calls me “my lawyer.” You have served party and Ghana well. Rest well in the Lord’s Mighty hands. Amen
