Mahama, Bagbin, Mills' son, others commemorate 11th anniversary of Atta Mills' death

The son of former President Mills, Samuel Kofi Atta Mills was also at the gathering.

A minute silence was observed in memory of the late President after which a siren was touted to mark the time the late Mills passed on 11 years ago.

Prayers were said for the entire family of the late Mills.

Mr Mahama used the occasion to extol the virtues of the late Mills calling on Ghanaians to emulate his sterling character and leadership style saying as  “we commemorate his passing let us also celebrate his life and achievements”.

He explained that the late Mills stood for selflessness, humility, tolerance to divergent views, a peace maker, unifier par excellence and Godliness.

He further said the late Mills legacy of socio-economic growth, prosperity, peace and tolerance for opposing views would continue to inspire many people.

The NDC Presidential hopeful said the late Mills still held the record of a President whose tenure had the longest sustained period of single digit inflation stressing that “in his days almost all key economic indicators were pointing to the right direction” as compared to the current economic challenges.
