Although filing past the body of the late President of Ghana, John Evans Atta Mills was closed to the public some minutes after 6pm Wednesday, what could have compelled multitude of mourners to continue trooping to the State House where his body was laid in state? It’s without gainsay that the night of the former President’s first three days on earth –after a tearful daylong funeral - was a memorable one to behold. A mixbag of different cultural displays drawn from across the breadth and length of the country, interspersed with poems and tributes, overshadowed the sobs and put smiles back on the faces of many Ghanaians after several hours of mourning in the day. The forecourt of the State House, yes, was a place to be on Wednesday night as Ghana and the world pay their last respects to the man whose well-lived life earned him the enviable accolade, Asomdwehene (King of Peace), whose sad and sudden event occurred at the 37 Military Hospital on 24th July 2012 in Accra. Performance by Six Fontomfrom heralded the evening’s programme which started at dusk. The night was made short by performances from the National Dance Company of Ghana, Ghana Dance Ensemble, Abodzen Etse Gome Group and a host of others. Of course, the National Symphony Orchestra and Noyam Dance Institute were also at hand to entertain the audience.
