Atta Mills

After Ghana's Dec. 7 election proved indecisive, Atta Mills


won Sunday's second round ballot by capturing a razor-thin victory with 50.23% of the vote to 49.77% for Akufo-Addo, in relation to the country's Electoral Commission.

Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo and John Evans Atta Mills have done their part for mother Ghana. These two Ghanaians have really worked tirelessly for mother Ghana. Ghanaians are therefore given a tough task to pick the better of the two, or the best among the lot( when other parties elect their flag - bearers). 

They have done nerverous for mother Ghana and for that matter passed to some degree the yardstick of progress. More is expected to be done though.

Atta Mills spent most of his career teaching at the University of Ghana and served as the country's tax chief under Rawlings. He earned a doctorate from London's School of Oriental and African Studies before becoming a Fulbright scholar at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California.

Atta Mills also was is among the few leaders in West Africa who didn't back plans for an intervention force during last year's near-civil war in Ivory Coast. Because of its shared border, Ghana became the main smuggling route for Ivorian cocoa.

Once again, I only say well done to "Asomdwehene" Fiifi Atta Mills. "Ade pa wo fie a oye". It is only Kumawuhemaa and Krontihene who dislike possessing good items at home for Kumawuman out of sheer stupid greediness.

People happen to be missing out on a lot of basic things of life all as a result of aself-centered conventional administration implemented through the late Barima Asumadu Sakyi II and the current queen for a period of over three decades.

Some radio stations even announced that he was dead during one of his recent trips to the States. When Atta Mills returned to Ghana, he jogged at the airport and blasted those who had alsely reported his death.
