Former Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo, has announced the burial and funeral arrangements for her father, the late Apostle Professor Emeritus Engineer Kwadwo Safo Kantanka.

According to her, during a press conference today, the burial service for the late Founder and Leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission will take place on July 30, 2026, at Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region.

She invited church members, family members and sympathisers to join the family in paying their final respects to the late religious leader.

“The venue for the burial service of our late father is Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region,” she stated.

Mrs. Adwoa Safo announced that the funeral service will be held on July 31, 2026, at the Independence Square in Accra.

She called on members of the Kristo Asafo Church, friends, loved ones and all individuals who benefited from the late Apostle Safo’s support and charity works to attend the funeral service.

According to her, the late Apostle Safo had a special love and concern for persons living with disabilities, and many of them would want to honour his memory.

“My father was a great fan of the disabled in our society and they would all want to identify with him on that day,” she said.

Mrs. Adwoa Safo further disclosed that a thanksgiving service would be held in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region on August 8, because the late Apostle Safo was a proud son of the Region.

She, however, noted that the funeral committee is still finalising the venue for the thanksgiving service and that details would be communicated later.

Apostle Prof. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka was widely known for his contributions to engineering, technology and religious leadership in Ghana.

The atmosphere at the New Patriotic Party’s regional secretariat in Damongo shifted from formalities to conviction when NPP national chairman hopeful Awentami Paul Afoko walked into a meeting with regional executives, the Council of Elders, and party patrons.

For those gathered in the Savannah Regional capital, the engagement felt less like a routine consultation and more like a moment of closure and reset for the party.

Afoko’s interaction quickly moved beyond standard political rhetoric. It became a session of reconciliation and recommitment, with a sharp focus on returning the NPP to power in 2028.

Regional executives were blunt about why his return mattered. “You have become a symbol of unity for the NPP considering what you have gone through,” Raphael Mahama Akati, Savannah Regional Youth Organiser
told him.

Many in the room referenced Afoko’s path: serving as National Chairman from 2014 to 2015, stepping back from frontline politics, and now re-emerging with a structured plan. To them, that journey proves the party can weather internal storms and emerge stronger.

That message ran through the meeting as some indicated that they have been inspired to put certain things behind them.

Members described him as a yardstick for patience and resilience, pointing to his decision to stay connected to the party’s base even while out of the spotlight.

Afoko anchored his remarks on his “3R” agenda – Reunite, Rebuild, Recapture. He told the gathering that unity without a plan for power is empty.

He urged the region to strengthen polling station structures, improve voter data, and begin mobilization now instead of waiting for election year.

“The NPP’s strength is that we absorb setbacks and return to fight smarter,” Afoko said, adding “That’s how we can take back government in 2028, and it starts with discipline in regions like Savannah.”

He described the 2028 mission as non-negotiable: reclaim power from the NDC, restore confidence in party structures, and ensure no region feels sidelined.

The Damongo stop adds to Afoko’s ongoing tour of regional engagements as he consolidates support for the Mational Chairmanship race.
