"Even children die, so if these old men have died, what is the issue?” - Kofi Akpaloo

Kofi Akpaloo, the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), has sparked outrage with a controversial comment regarding the recent military helicopter crash. Reacting to national mourning and public grief, he reportedly said:
“Why are Ghanaians behaving as if this tragedy is unprecedented? Even children die, so if these old men have died, what is the issue?”
