Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko-Computer, has revealed that the late Defence Minister, Dr. Omane Boamah, spent the morning of the fatal helicopter crash discussing election strategies with party officials.
“In fact, in the morning, we had a close discussion with Dr Omane Boamah around 7 am. It was virtual. Because he mostly does meetings virtually.
“He was a type who wants to maximize time. Instead of people coming together and 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 election,” Rashid Tanko-Computer recounted.
The Acting CEO of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) said this was typical of Dr. Boamah, whose meticulous planning shaped the NDC’s electoral operations.
Recalling the final meeting, he said, “Around 7:45 am, Dr Omane was giving us strategies on how to go about the Akwatia by-election. He gave us all this strategy because Dr Omane was a master planner.
Tanko-Computer revealed that the team was expected to report back to the late minister by evening.
