Mills' death is a catalyst for peace -Prez Mahama
His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has expressed the hope that the passing on to glory of the late President, John Evans Atta Mills would be a catalyst for the country to consolidate the peace that his death has brought to the country.
In a very brief but touching tribute, HE John Mahama said, “I am in doubt that the unifier and man of peace that our late President was, his passing on to glory will be a catalyst for our country to consolidate the peace and forge ahead in unity. His legacy will live long into eternity.”
Before the reading of the tribute, President Mahama in a very symbolic manner filed past the mortal remain of the late president for the last time and lit the perpetual flame.
In his tribute, President Mahama described the late president as “a good man, in fact, a very good man.”
He prayed that the Lord would find the soul of the late president a peaceful and blissful resting place.
President Mahama also expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for the “remarkable way that you marked the customary one week observation of our President’s passing.”
“We have demonstrated as a people that united we can focus on what matters-and together bear the burden of our shared loss as a nation.”
“In death, we have all come to appreciate what our late President, His Excellency Professor John Evans Atta Mills has meant to our great Ghana and the World,” he added.
President Mahama described the late president as “the Father for All”, adding that, “He was an empathetic, decent, incorruptible, caring, intelligent, selfless, thoughtful and God-loving leader who cared deeply about creating a better Ghana for all.”
He concluded by calling for God’s continual blessing on Ghana.
“May God continue to bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong. God grant us the strength and wisdom to be inspired by the vision of John Evans Atta Mills as we strive to steer our nation in the right path of freedom and justice.”
