Richard Ahiagbah, Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed deep gratitude to several individuals and institutions for their support following his recovery from a serious accident.
Ahiagbah was involved in a collision with an articulated truck on the Accra-Kumasi highway on July 27, 2024, at around 1:30 a.m. near Aduapompo, while traveling to Kumasi for a scheduled event.
During an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Face to Face on Channel One TV, Ahiagbah specifically praised President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, whom he described as a fatherly figure.
He highlighted the President’s close involvement and support throughout his recovery, saying, “He has kept in touch through the structures and was very useful to the processes that led to my healing and my sitting here today.”
Ahiagbah also commended Chief of Staff Frema Osei-Opare for her significant contributions, as well as Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, who visited him the morning after the accident and consistently checked on his well-being.
He further acknowledged the exceptional care he received from the medical team at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, including Dr. Charles, Dr. Roland Azoli Addai, CEO Professor Addai-Mensah, and the entire management team.
In addition, Ahiagbah gave special thanks to his assistant, Emmanuel Mensah, who remained by his side from the time of the accident until his discharge and continues to provide support.
Reflecting on his experience, Ahiagbah noted, “This moment has shown that while many things divide us, a lot also connects us. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming.”
