Anthony Nukpenu, the Greater Accra Regional Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated the NDC has lost a gem in the sudden demise of Ade Coker.
He expressed sorrow over the death of former Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the party, Joseph Ade Coker.
The late Joseph Ade Coker passed away on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at the Bank Hospital after a short illness.
Anthony Nukpenu revealed the news as disturbing which has dealt a huge blow to the party, mainly to those who worked closely with him.
Speaking on Channel One Anthony Nukpenu stated, “He was always in the media, trying to speak to the issues that are before this current government and how far the government is performing. Just two weeks ago, he was on a number of radio stations, and then this situation came.
Nobody thought it would whisk him away, but doctors have done their best, the party, families have done their best, everybody has played his/her role, and pastors have prayed”.
He added, “The moment God says I want my soul, you can’t question God. So, it’s a very disturbing moment for the NDC. We have lost a gem, someone who has dedicated his life since 2009 to lead the NDC to that great height.
It’s disturbing for some of us who were very close to him. Losing him at this moment is not an easy thing,” he said.
