A delegation from the Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), on Saturday visited the Cantonments residence in Accra, of the late Kwadwo Baah-Wiredu, former Minister of Finance, to express their condolences to the bereaved family.
The nine-member delegation was led by Mr Anthony K Deku, Acting Chairman of the Council.

The rest were Professor Daniel Adzei-Bekoe, Professor Yaw Asirifi, Mr Justice Akuamoah Boateng, Mr Gyedu Saffo, Mrs Mary Nartey and Mrs Delphine Oteng.
Mr Deku, on behalf of the delegation, urged the bereaved family to be calm in their moments of grief and sorrow, because “God knows best.”
