The late President Atta Mills<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE SEVENTH anniversary of
\nthe sad passing of former President John Evans Atta Mills has been marked with
\na wreath laying ceremony in Accra.<\/p>\n

The ceremony held at the
\n\u2018Asomdwee\u2019 park in Accra was in honour of the man popularly referred to as
\n\u201cAsomdweehene\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was attended by the
\npublic and mainly politicians and members of the opposition National Democratic
\nCongress (NDC).<\/p>\n

Former President John
\nDramani Mahama, flag bearer of the NDC, in memory of his late boss, described
\nProf. Mills as \u201ca man who stood for the highest ideals of leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said in a speech which
\nwas read for him by NDC Chairman Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo that the late Prof Mills elevated
\nthe Office of the President above the rising bitterness of partisan politics
\nand redefined presidential morality. <\/p>\n

According to him, the
\ncountry is indebted to Prof. Mills for his commitment and channelling the right
\npath for other political leaders to follow.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mahama reiterated that Prof.
\nMills did not compromise with the truth and always had the interests of
\nGhanaians at heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Mills believed in
\nthe rule of law, and respected the primacy and interests of the Ghanaian
\npeople. He supported the integrity and independence of our national institutions.
\nHe was empathetic and kind, and measured success by the welfare of the least
\namong us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added \u201cProf. Mills eschewed avarice, and led by the example of his uncommon humility and simplicity. His graciousness extended even to those who vilified and maligned him, and he wore their respect as a medal of honour. I am greatly indebted to Professor Mills for the opportunity to learn at his feet, for the impact he had on my political life and the great lessons in national over partisan service\u201d.<\/p>\n
