They were heard shouting in unison “wo y3y3 ya Bawumia beba” to wit “come what may Bawumia will lead NPP in 2024”.
The funeral was attended by President Akufo Addo, Ministers, deputy ministers, Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives, as well as other government appointees, Musicians, Executives of the opposition National Democratic Congress among others.
