"Commander Salam, your death is not only making us feel too cold but also making us more scared of life in its entirety. You were a gentle and humble servant of the NPP and a brother I could rely on any day for support in execution."
"You were a brother I could seek advice from, and your death is leaving a gap that may never be filled."
"Commander Salam served as youth organiser of the Nadowli Kaleo constituency, and it was only under his regime that we had the first ever NPP Upper West regional youth wing program in the constituency."
"Commander, you were a friend and a brother who is owed a credit to the success of the youth wing, and we will forever miss you."
"We all know a day is coming when we will leave, but we have wishes we could live longer with you. Senior, this is not what we discussed. Yaa Allah will Grant you Jannah."
