The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo, has wished President John Evans Atta Mills well as he goes for medical check-up in the USA. President Mills on Saturday night left Accra to the US �for a few days� for �medical check-up� after speculation went viral on social media networks that he was dead. In dispelling the rumours prior to his departure, President Mills said: �Let me just say that I�m very, very strong and I don�t know the basis for saying that I am dead.� Nana Akufo-Addo, the main contender to President Mills in the 2012 presidential race, upon hearing the news told Ghanaians in a statement: �He [Mills] takes with him the thoughts and prayers of all Ghanaians who wish him good health and a safe return to duty in a few days.� �I hope the checks go well and he comes back fit and strong,� Nana Addo said.
