General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) John Boadu has eulogised the late former Vice President, Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur, describing him as a very restrained figure in politics.
He said he was admired by all especially his opponents and there were important lessons to be learnt from his character.
Part of his admirable traits, according to Mr Boadu was “being able to hold on to himself without being pushed by party hawks and people that believe that you must answer to everything and respond in like manner”.
The NPP General Secretary was speaking to 3FM Thursday, when he led his party’s delegation to file past the mortal remains of the former Vice President.
As part of a three-day funeral service for Mr Amissah-Arthur, the public was allowed to file past his body at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) on Thursday.
A burial service is scheduled to be held on Friday after which the mortal remains will be driven through some principal streets of Accra.
Taking his turn as part of NPP’s delegation, Mr Boadu, who won the General Secretary position earlier this month, said the late former vice president cut a good figure in his political life.
But he added: “Only that we believe he was in the wrong party.
“So with even that character it was a misnomer in their party.”
He said government is ready to collaborate with the Amissah-Arthur family to give the statesman a befitting send-off
“We expect them to come out with what they want to do in memory of him.”

Its true. The NDC is a very wrong party for any sensible person join especially the fantis or people from the Central Region. All the prominent fantis who associated with the NDC died suddenly. Late Veep Arkaah, died tragically in mysterious accident , Late President Mills died just after having a family breakfast at the seat of Government. And now Former Veep Amissah-Arthur, who drove to usual morning gym exercise with the wife died suddenly after the exercise. People of Central Region must think carefully about this party called the NDC. They simply not a group to associate with.
SHAME UNTO YOU ALL. AFTER ACCUSING HIM OF BEING GAY, NOW HE WAS IN THE WRONG PARTY. WOULD YOU HAVE MADE THOSE COMMENTS IF HE WERE TO BE IN YOUR PARTY? WIL YOU HAVE SAID HE IS A GAY IF HERE WERE TO BE IN YOUR PARTY? HYPOCRITES!
Who says NPP is a goof party with the mess in the country today.
