The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated that the death of the acting Deputy National Security Coordinator, Mohammed-Muniru Limuna, will leave a vacuum that will be deeply felt.

Among other things, it said he was a unifier, a bridge-builder, among other things.

This was contained in a tribute read by the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, at the state funeral organised for the eight Ghanaians who died in a helicopter crash on August 6, 2025.

“For the NDC, especially in the Savannah Region, his absence leaves a vacuum that will be deeply felt. He was not just a political strategist: he was a unifier, a bridge-builder, and a tireless servant of the people whose work ahead of the 2024 elections will forever be remembered as a turning point in the party’s fortunes,” the NDC said.

Compassion

Mr Kwetey said Alhaji Limuna would be remembered as a man of intellect, integrity and compassion—one who served with vision, led with wisdom, and governed with heart.

He described his passing as an immeasurable loss to the party where he was not only a respected elder but a strategic pillar, especially in the Savannah Region.

“As the trusted liaison between the NDC flag bearer and the traditional authorities in the region, Limuna played a decisive role in securing monumental electoral gains for the party ahead of the 2024 general election. 

Efforts

“His tireless efforts, reshaping key roads, facilitating the digging of boreholes in several communities, rehabilitating schools, and swiftly responding to the pressing concerns of chiefs and community leaders, cemented his reputation as a leader who delivered results. Through his mediation and constant presence on the ground, he built strong bonds of trust that transformed goodwill into political victory, enabling the NDC to move from four parliamentary seats to six in the Savannah Region,” Mr Kwetey said.

He said, “As Northern and Upper East Regional Minister, he championed peace-building, including the historic 2014 Damba Festival between the Andani and Abudu royal gates, and resolved long-standing ethnic and chieftaincy disputes.”
