The vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, on Thursday commissioned an ultramodern library in honour of the late President John Evans Atta Mills.
The former Energy Minister, during the event, described Atta-Mills as a good man and a great statesman who, in his view, found himself in the wrong party.
The library, located in Ekumfi Otuam, the hometown of the late former President, was solely funded by Napo, as he is popularly known, and supervised by the CEO of the Atta Mills Institute, Samuel Koku Anyidoho.
Speaking at a brief ceremony, Napo eulogized Atta-Mills as an astute statesman who was a gift to Ghana from God himself.
According to him, he was motivated by Koku Anyidoho’s commitment to preserving the legacies of the former president.
He expressed concern over how the NDC, led by its flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, has taken credit for every project associated with the late president, making it seem as if he did nothing for the country.
The CEO of the Atta Mills Institute, Samuel Koku Anyidoho, thanked Dr. Opoku Prempeh for his efforts in honouring President Mills.
He challenged the late president’s brothers to point to a single thing they have done to preserve their brother’s legacy.
