“He never let the trappings of power distance him from the people he served” – Bagbin honours Mills’ legacy

" The wreath-laying ceremony formed part of events commemorating 14 years since the death of Professor Mills, who served as Ghana's president from January 2009 until his death in office on 24 July 2012.

Speaking at a wreath-laying ceremony at Asomdwee Park in Accra on Friday to mark the 14th anniversary of Professor Mills' death, Bagbin said the former president's style of leadership remained unchanged after he assumed office.

Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Bagbin has said the late President John Evans Atta Mills remained connected to ordinary Ghanaians throughout his presidency, describing him as a leader who listened, consulted and governed according to principle.
