Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has paid a visit to President John Dramani Mahama and First Lady Lordina Mahama at their residence to express his condolences and solidarity in the wake of the tragic military helicopter crash that claimed the lives of several Ghanaian soldiers.
The rare moment of statesmanship and unity was shared by Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, who joined President Mahama and other government officials to welcome the former leader.
“In a gesture of solidarity and statesmanship, former President John Agyekum Kufuor paid a visit to President John Dramani Mahama and the First Lady, Lordina Mahama, at their residence to express his condolences and support during this difficult time.
“I joined them and other government officials to receive him and thank him for his thoughtful gesture,” she posted on her official Facebook page.

The incident has plunged the nation into mourning, prompting a wave of tributes and messages of sympathy from across the political divide and the public.
While investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing, President Mahama has declared a period of national mourning and promised full support to the families of the fallen officers.
