President John Dramani Mahama has attributed the incumbent administration’s Reset Agenda to the solid foundation laid by the late President Prof. John Evans Atta Mills through his Better Ghana Agenda.
He described his leadership as an era characterised not by political insults, but by service, integrity, and principle.
Speaking at the wreath-laying ceremony marking the 13th anniversary of the passing of the late President Mills, President Mahama emphasised that the memorial should not be viewed merely as a ceremonial act, but as a national duty a moment to reflect on the legacy of the late President.
“If there’s one lesson we draw from the life of President Mills, it is that no challenge is insurmountable when we lead with integrity, when we listen with empathy, and when we govern with principle,” he stated.
“Professor Mills governed this country with a deep moral compass. He placed truth over expediency, people over politics, and the country over self,” the president said.
President Mahama further addressed the current state of the John Evans Atta Mills Memorial Library.
He acknowledged concerns about its condition and gave assurances that plans are underway, with the Chairman of the planning committee for the library Project, implementing efforts to renovate and restore the facility to its intended standard.
Thursday’s ceremony was attended by senior government officials, executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), members of the party’s Council of Elders, relatives of the late president, and members of the public. Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang and Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin were also present.
Professor Mills served as president from 2009 until his death in 2012. He is widely remembered for his calm approach to leadership, promotion of peace, and focus on social justice. Source: Citifmonline.com
