Among those present was the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ningo‑Prampram Constituency, Sam George, who has now spoken about the loss.

The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations remembered Toure as more than just a colleague.

“He was our Vice Chairman in the Greater Accra caucus in the last Parliament. Nii Lantey was the Chairman. Greater Accra is the largest caucus, and Naser played a big role. When I became a minister, I left my role as caucus secretary, but his loss is something I feel deeply,” George said.
