SAD DAY FOR OLD TAFO

It is with a throbbing heart that I speak about the departure of Tutu.

He was a man of many characters. A man who gave hope to communities. A man who became a father, a brother, and a friend to all.

My personal encounter with him through my early days till today has shaped me in many ways I can neither thank him enough nor sing his praise.

I wish you would have lived to see all the great things Old Tafo was about to accomplish which we started together.

I wish you didn’t leave so early breaking the entire Old Tafo constituency.

But who am I to rescue you from the icy hands of death.

How will Dr Likee feel now? Tutu, this isn’t fair to us.

Rest well, old friend and brother.

Old Tafo will forever remember you.

Hon Vincent Ekow Assafuah
