Trade Minister, Alan Kyerematen and some members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) have visited the Aliu Mahama family residence to offer their condolence after the death of Ramatu Aliu Mahama.
The wife of the late former Vice President in the Kufour administration died at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital on Thursday. She was admitted to the hospital for some days after an ailment.
Mr Kyerematen described the deceased as a likeable woman and a mother to all.
Recounting her days when her husband was in power, he said, Hajia Ramatu's "gentle and graceful nature was evident in all she did as she opened her doors to all in society."
"Her calming influence will be sorely missed in our body politic. She and her husband have been a good inspiration to many. May her soul rest in eternal peace,” he concluded.
The late Hajia Mahama was Ghana's Second Lady between 2001 and 2008, when her late husband, Aliu Mahama, served as vice president in the two-term government of the former president, John Agyekum Kufuor.
She died at the age of 70.
A son of the late couple, Farouk Aliu Mahama, is the current Member of Parliament for the Yendi constituency.
The family has conveyed the body to Tamale in the NOrthern region to be buried.
Meanwhile, the book of condolence has been opened at her residence in her honour.
