"I am overwhelmed with emotions and struggling to find the words. In the 2022 internal party elections, one of the few senior party members who boldly showed support for me in my reelection bid was Snr Santa Ade. Despite losing his own election, Snr Santa Ade, as I affectionately called him, continued to support me. You served Ghana well in both politics and sports. May you rest peacefully in the bosom of the Most High, Snr Santa Ade Coker."

I remember you told us when we come to power we should call on you, but we saw it to be too early to call on you, we wanted to give you some time, but as we plan Alllah is the master planner, sad to hear of your demise this morning but Allah knows best. You paid your dues to humanity and served the Great NDC well, a mighty tree has fallen. May Allah be pleased with your soul ðŸ˜ðŸ˜."
