My sincere condolences to my Ghanaian brothers and sisters in tears. May President John Evans Atta Mills’ soul rests in peace.
This is the saddest day in our nation’s history. Tears have engulfed our nation and we are deeply saddened and distraught…. I’m personally devastated, I’ve lost a father, I’ve lost a friend, I’ve lost a mentor and a senior comrade. Ghana is united in grief at this time for our departed president.
