  "summary": "Prof. Alidu Seidu Mahama, the Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, commemorated the first death anniversary of his predecessor, Dr Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, on Saturday, August 8, 2026. The event included the distribution of food items to widows, orphans, and other vulnerable residents in the constituency, followed by Islamic prayers for the late legislator. Prof. Seidu emphasized the importance of honoring Dr Murtala Mohammed's contributions to the community and his commitment to their welfare. He announced plans to make the commemoration an annual event, establish a scholarship scheme, and introduce an annual memorial lecture in Dr Mohammed's name to preserve his legacy and continue his work. The commemoration came after a national inter-faith memorial service for the victims of the August 6, 2025, helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight individuals, including Dr Murtala Mohammed.",
