The demise of diplomat, Kofi Annan, has come as a shock to many, particularly personalities who have closely worked with him or interacted with him.

Former President Jerry John Rawlings who in recent times touted Mr. Annan’s positive influence in his life and career has taken to Twitter to honour the respected global figure since his death.

He wrote;

“My sincere condolences to the wife and family of Kofi Annan. Global diplomacy has lost a true gem. Kofi Annan was a fine diplomat who committed most of his professional life to world peace. He was one of the best, a born diplomat. He made Ghana and Africa proud and left a great legacy at the United Nations. Rest in Peace, Kofi Annan”.

Kofi Annan passed away Saturday morning in Switzerland after a short illness.
