HON. PETER WIAFE PEPRAH “PASSES ON”
We have received with deep regret information about the passing of our Honorable Member of Parliament representing the Abetifi Constituency, Peter Wiafe Peprah. He passed away at the 37 Military Hospital after a short illness.
We have lost one of our most affable party leaders.
Hon Peter Peprah was a leader whose hallmark was one of seeking a unity of purpose for success for all at all times during his years as a leader of his constituency, the region and at the national level.
Hon Peter Peprah was a leader whose hall mark was one of seeking a unity of purpose for success for all at all times. He was also a great tactician. He endeared himself to everyone and sought to serve Ghana and Abetifi at all times during his constituency, the region and at the national level.
Hon Peprah rightfully touted himself as the number one supporter of Nana Akufo-Addo for President. To this end he did everything within his capacity over the last two national elections up till his unfortunate passing to seek the victory of Nana Akufo-Addo.
We want to assure the good people of the Abetifi Constituency and Kwahu of our prayers and support in these trying times. According to custom and tradition it is the family that will lead in his burial and funeral rites. We will do our bit to bid this our outstanding leader a befitting farewell.
Honourable Peter Wiafe Peprah damirifa due.
….Signed…
Kiston Akomeng Kissi
Regional Chairman, NPP
