President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has eulogised the late former president of the United States of America, Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter died at the age of 100, the centre he founded confirmed this last Sunday.

The former peanut farmer lived longer than any president in history and celebrated his 100th birthday in October.

The Carter Center, which advocates for democracy and human rights around the world, said he died on Sunday afternoon at his home in Plains, Georgia.
