Former President John Dramani Mahama has remembered his former boss the late President John Evans Atta Mills who died on the seat some eleven years ago.
Mr Mahama served as the Vice President to Prof Mills from 2009 to mid-2012 when Prof Mills died on 24th July 2012.
At a ceremony to mark the 11th anniversary of the passing of Prof Mills in Accra on Tuesday, July 24, 2023, Mr Mahama said “he was not one to create power at all costs and manipulate state agencies to do his political bidding.
“The Electoral Commission (EC) was truly independent and the judiciary did not live in fear of not satisfying the president’s wishes by their verdicts.
“He did not weaponize justice unlike what we are living through today. He was a great talent sporter and I count myself among his many proteges who have gone on to excel in our various fields of endeavor.
“He held our social and moral values high and it is no wonder that he was unequivocal in his abhorrence of LGBTQ.”
