The Chiefs and people of Tain have stated that they
are the most aggrieved because of the love and commitment the former President John
Mills showed to them.
According to them, the gesture they believe was
because they were the deciders of the 2008 elections.
“The news of the former president’s death was
received by the Chiefs and people of Tain in shock and deep sorrow,” the chiefs
said.
This was contained in a press statement signed by
Nana Kwaku Dwuma Ankoanna, Omanhene of Seikwa Traditional Area on behalf of the
paramount chiefs and divisional chiefs and the people of Tain district.
The statement said in the president’s fulfilment of
his campaign message, the late president proved his love and support to the people
of Tain District by initiating various developmental projects that were evenly
spread throughout the traditional areas of Seikwa, Nsawkaw, Badu and Debibi.
It continued that, they were not surprised to have
conferred on him the title ‘Nkusuohene’, (Development Chief) of the traditional
area.
The statement said it is a great worry to them that
the president has left them sooner than they expected. They added that they
have the conviction that the newly sworn in President John Mahama will emulate
the late president’s footsteps in the period to come, not forgetting what his
predecessor started.
“With no option left, it is our prayer that the soul
of the late president, Prof. John Evans Atta Mills will rest in peace,” it
added.
