Information reaching JusticeGhana points to the sudden passing away of Professor John Evans Atta Mills- the President of the Republic of Ghana.<\/p>\n
Young John Evans Fiifi Atta-Mills came to world on 21 July 1944 and recently celebrated his 68th Birthday.<\/p>\n
According to the Chief of Staff at the Castle- Mr John Henry Martey Newman, the president passed away today, 24th July 2012, while receiving medical attention, at the 37 Military Hospital.<\/p>\n
The President had been speculated to have died a few weeks ago, as in the face of sectional unrest in some parts of the country, no word was heard from him.<\/p>\n
In the midst of these rumours- the president,on 16 June 2012, held a press conference, stating that he was alive and that he is on his way to the United States, for routine medical check-up.<\/p>\n
He returned on 25 June 2012, stating that he was fit and well and promised vigorous electioneering campaign for his presidential re-election.<\/p>\n
The president indeed demonstrated this capability and was seen visiting some parts of the country, including faraway Kumase, Ashanti Region, in recent past.<\/p>\n
His sudden passing away has therefore, come with deep heart-felt and a great loss to the nation and the academic world.<\/p>\n
Prior to the heat of the 2008 electioneering campaign, it was rumoured that candidate Atta-Mills, might not survive a full-term as president, due to his alleged failing health.<\/p>\n
President J.E.A.Mills left a surviving wife and a son from his extra-marital partner.<\/p>\n
By virtue [Article 60(6)]of the 1992 Constitutional arrangement- Vice-President John Dramani Mahama, shall continue to finish the rest of the president’s remaining term, which expires by mid-day, 07th of January 2013.<\/p>\n
