The Tamale Central NDC Constituency Executives, in collaboration with the Member of Parliament for the Area, Professor Alidu Seidu, have held a commemorative ceremony in honor of the Late and Former MP of the Constituency, Hon. Murtala Mohammed Ibrahim, following his passing and that of seven others in a helicopter crash exactly a year ago.

As part of the commemorative event, a Qur’anic recitation ceremony was held at a community mosque near the Constituency Party Office, with Islamic Clerics offering prayers and seeking forgiveness for the soul of the late Former Minister of State, whose faith, values, and beliefs were deeply rooted in Islamic teachings while he was alive.

Following the Quran recitation, a solemn event was also held at the NDC Constituency Office in remembrance of the late MP, who they described as a God-fearing, humble, and diligent leader, as he committed his life and resources to improving the livelihoods of people through interventions and development initiatives across all spheres of life.

Attending the ceremony were Constituency Executives, Coordinators, Polling Station Executives and Party faithful in the area. The Current MP of the area also graced the ceremony.

The MP also seized the moment to distribute food items, provisions, and other materials to over 100 downtrodden people in the Constituency, including 90 widows and 10 orphans, as alms in honor of the late MP, Murtala Mohammed.

Among the items donated to the beneficiaries were rice, cooking oil, crates of milk, prayer mats, and assorted drinks.

Addressing the gathering, Professor Alidu Seidu eulogized the late Murtala Mohammed Ibrahim, describing him as a hard-working MP who was committed to changing the lives and bringing development to the people.

Prof. Seidu further announced that a memorial lecture and scholarship scheme will be institutionalized in the name of the late MP, aimed not only at honoring him but also at consolidating his legacy in the Constituency, Northern Region, and Ghana as a whole.
