We received news of the President's sudden death with great disbelief, sombreness and grave disappointment. Our thoughts and prayers are with his immediate family and the people of Ghana, for whom he was the greatest asset.
The President was a fine gentleman, an accomplished academic and a true statesman. We will miss him. May he rest in God 's eternal bosom.
When we have mourned a while and in accordance with the values of respect and honour, one of our greatest homage to the fatherly President, would be to demand full disclosure on the circumstances surrounding his untimely death.
However as a country we have once again demonstrated our pioneering role in strengthening constitutional democracy on the African continent as we made a transition effortlessly after the demise of our President. As sorrowful as the situation may be, we are stronger for the experience. We wish the new President , John Mahama well. May God order his steps and may he guard him against any trepidation in his new role. God bless us all.
