“I am deeply shocked and saddened at the passing away of President John Evans Atta Mills, Third President of the Fourth Republic of Ghana,” former President John Agyekum Kufour has said.
A statement issued in Accra on Wednesday by former President Kufour said it was a great loss to Ghana and the whole nation.
Former President Kufour said: “My heart goes out to his wife, Naadu, his immediate family, and the rest of the nation.”
He urged all Ghanaians to hold themselves together as one people in this time of grief and let the common love for the country and humanity guide them.
“On behalf of my wife, and the entire family, I pray that God grant former President Mills him a peaceful resting place,” he added.**
