Some residents in Sunyani on Wednesday shared their
memories of the late President Mills with Daily Guide on the eve of his one year
Anniversary.
According to some resident who spoke to Daily
Guide, they thought if the late former President was given enough time to
seek full medical care he would have been alive or stayed a little longer.
“Ghanaians played with his health for too long, he
also did not do us good by accepting that he was sick, I think we killed him
with our utterances”, one resident cried.
One resident who gave his name as Kwasi Kyeremeh
described the late President as a peaceful man and called on other politicians both
in the NDC and the other political parties to try and learn something from the
past present death.
Mr. Kyeremeh called on Ghanaians to use the death of
the late president to unite and focus on building the country rather than
dividing it because of power.
He advised President Mahama and Nana Akuffo Addo the
2012 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to start preaching
peace to their followers as they wait for the Supreme Court to bring out their
verdict on the election petition.
Yaa Akyaa a yam seller at the Nana Bosoma market who
was clad in black explained to the paper how the news of the demise of the
president hit her even though she never met the late president in person.
“I don’t belong to Late President Mills party but I thought
he was peaceful and had the nation at heart”, she added.
The Nana Bosoma Market on Wednesday been the market
day was busy with people going about selling and buying. The Sunyani town was
visibly quiet with few people clad in black.
Meanwhile at exactly 2:15pm all the radio stations
in Sunyani the Brong Ahafo Regional went off air for some minutes and started
playing dirges when they came back on air in memory of the late president.
