The Office of former President John Agyekum Kufuor has dismissed reports of his demise.

In a letter dated July 18, his Senior Aide, Dr Kwabena Osei-Adubofour said such claims are false.

“The Office of Former President John Kufuor has, over the past several days, been inundated with persistent rumours of the supposed passing away of Former' President John Kufuor.

“We wish to categorically deny such an occurrence and state emphatically that the former president is very much alive and well,” portions of the statement read.

This follows reports on social media platforms suggesting that the 84-year-old former President had passed on.

According to the release, such reports are “malicious and uncanny rumours that spring out of nothing.”

The Office, therefore urged those "behind the propagation of such wicked untruths to desist from them henceforth; there have been far too many.

"We can only speculate that the perpetrators do so out of mischief-making and possibly for unfathomable political purposes.

“We pray for God’s continuous blessings on our former president,” the release concluded.
