The Office of former President John Agyekum Kufuor has dismissed reports about his death.
“We wish to categorically deny such an occurrence and state emphatically that the former president is very much alive and well.”
There were rumours, over the weekend, of the death of the 2nd President of the Fourth Republic with his recent protracted absence from the public fuelling the rumours.
But a press release issued by his Office on Tuesday, July 18 urged the public to “disabuse their minds of these malicious and uncanny rumours that spring out of nothing”.
“The office further urges those who may be behind the propagation of such wicked untruths to desist from them henceforth; there have been far too many,” the release signed by Special Aide and Spokesperson Dr Kwabena Osei-Adubofour said.
“We can only speculate that the perpetrators do so out of mischief-making and possibly for unfathomable political purposes.”
It called for God’s continuous blessings rather for the former president.
