President has shared details of the close relationship he had with the late Acting Deputy National Security Coordinator, Alhaji Limuna Muniru Mohammed, before his tragic passing.
Paying tribute to the late Alhaji Muniru on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, during the third-day funeral rites (Adua), the president said the deceased was always readily available to take on assignments, regardless of the time or inconvenience.
Describing him as someone close enough to be his 'personal assistant,' President Mahama recalled the criticisms that followed Alhaji Muniru's delayed appointment, which was eventually confirmed. "He was virtually my personal assistant.
You could call Muniru at 1 AM in the night and tell him 'Muniru, go to Yendi or go to Damango.' He won't hesitate; he won't wait till morning but will set off that same night and go and perform the errand that you have sent him to perform. "When we were making appointments, his appointment was among the last.
