The story is a long one. please take your time and read.


David was a man of God and King of Israel. He took Uriah’s wife
and had him killed. But the Prophet Nathan found him out.

I have been very vehement in my demand for an investigation
into the demise of late President Mills not because I have any
mischief in mind. Rather it stems from my concern that human
life has been ‘wasted’. We are an evolving democracy and must
be seen to be doing things the right way. The gargantuan
amount of lies, distortions, inaccuracies and conflicting
statements emanating from the stable of the dramatis personae
makes it imperative for an inquest into the death. A great
majority of Ghanaians believe there has been some form of
“chukwuhukwu” in the whole saga. A public enquiry will erode
any such sentiments in the minds of people.

This has to do with various accounts of events as narrated by
President John Mahama, the late President’s brother(Cadman
Mills), his sister and other top members of the NDC
administration.
Now you follow me as we go through the circus being enacted
by the President and his appointees.

The Chief of Staff, Henry Martey Newman issued a statement
that the President was suddenly taken ill and was rushed to 37
Military Hospital at 2:00pm and tried as the doctors did, the late
President passed on “to sit at the right hand side of God” at
exactly 2:15pm.

Now, the newly sworn-in President who prefers to be called a 54
year agile and dynamic young man echoed what the Chief of
Staff had said in the statement announcing the death of the
President. But he went a step further to state that on the
morning of Tuesday, 24th July, 2004, the day the late President
was alleged to have died, he and the Chief of Staff had been
given an assignment by his former boss to represent him at a
public function. They had discharged the assignment
satisfactorily and returned to the Castle where he found the late
President in good health. They had gone to their respective
offices, from where the Chief of Staff called him to the
Residency. There, he found out that his former boss not in the
best of health, and so they rushed him to 37 Military Hospital,
where he later died. This was aired by various radio and TV
stations nation wide.

But after some commentators and I have punched holes in his
assertion, President John Mahama now decided to shift the goal
post. In an interview with Shaka Sassli of VOA Straight Talk
Africa, the President sang a new tune altogether. He said the
late President did not come to the office on Monday, 23rd July,
2012. He found a memo from the President directing him and
the Chief of Staff to represent him at a public function holding at
the International Conference Centre the next day.

Now, some contradictions: You get to your office and realize
you boss had not been to the office. What do you do? And you
did not bother to find out what was wrong with your boss? You
did not call him on the phone; neither did you visit him. And it
was not as if your boss was staying in a place far away from
where you were. He was staying at the Residency which is
located right inside the Castle, where you have your office! If
the late President did not come to the office as President John
Mahama would have us believe, how did the memo get to his
office?

Again, I ask the same question I asked Cadman Mills. What sort
of relationship existed between the late President and his
brother, Cadman Atta Mills, who preferred to stay in the comfort
of his office as his late brother was being rushed to 37 Military
Hospital for treatment. Which person will stay aloof when his
blood brother takes suddenly ill and is being rushed to the
hospital for treatment? Which Vice President will choose to be
unconcerned not to visit his boss to find out why the later had
not been to the office that day?

If anything at all, one can rightly conclude that that the
relationship that existed between John Mahama and the late
President Mills was anything but cordial. The same conclusion
could be drawn from that which existed between the late
President, John Atta Mills and Cadman Atta Mills. So, you have
a situation where two people (President John Mahama and the
late President’s brother (Cadman Atta Mills) were united in a
common crusade against a common enemy, the late President
John Ata Mills. That’s the way I see things ooo.

But that is not all. President John Dramani Mahama went on to
state that after their return to the Castle, he and the Chief of
Staff, Henry Martey Newman returned to their respective offices,
from where he was called to go to the Residency where he
found the late President was not in the best of health. Here he
omitted his earlier assertion that they had intimate the late
President about the successful completion of the assignment.

But why, President John Mahama? Did you hate your former
boss so much so that you turned a blind when he was writhing
in pain? Or were you so much obsessed with the prospect of
being President and so did not put in place immediate
measures to help him get some reprieve from his deteriorating
health condition? No doubt your First Coup d’état was staged
against your former boss, John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills. No wonder
you did not launch the coup d’état (book) in Ghana, but in the
United States where the late President had gone for medical
treatment before his demise.

There is the need to question President John Dramani Mahama
about the discrepancies in his two accounts as they relate to
the death of the former President.

Then Communications Minister, Iddrissu Haruna added another
twist to the saga. He said he was part of the team mandated by
the late President to represent him at the function being spoken
off by President John Mahama at the “Arts Centre”. He said
while they were there, the Chief of Staff was asked to put
together a team of 7 people to accompany the late President on
his trip to Nigeria that very afternoon. He also stated that an
Aide to the then Vice President, John Mahama, drew his
attention to a lecture to be delivered by former Nigerian
President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the following day in the
Northern part of the country and asked that he Iddrissu Haruna
attend the lecture. He gave the Aide the assurance that he
would be there at 3:00 pm the next day to grace the occasion.
He said they had left the venue after 2.40pm on the very day
President John Evans Atta Mills was alleged to have died. He
went to his office. Later, he heard that President Mills had died.

Another bit of inconsistency here. If we were to go by Haruna
Iddrissu’s account, it means at the time the President died, John
Mahama, Henry Martey Newman and he Haruna Iddrissu had
not left the Arts or International Conference Centre not to talk of
being at the Residency when the late President allegedly fell ill.
Another gargantuan lie being told by supposedly “men of
integrity”

Does it not surprise you that all along, President John Mahama
had given us the impression that it was the only Chief of Staff
and himself who were the ‘big fishes’ at the ceremony?

And just from the blues, Haruna Iddrissu comes to tell us that
they had left the venue of the function at 2:40pm. President
John Mahama never for once gave us the idea that the
Communications Minister was also present. Why? Is it selective
amnesia? The then Vice President John Mahama never told us
the exact time of their arrival at the Castle but was emphatic
that he was in his office at 2:00pm. And the Minister of
Communications is telling right thinking Ghanaians that they
had left the venue of the function after 2:40pm, well past the
official time given as time of death of the late President.
Who is telling the truth and who is feeding us with lies?
Remember when David slept with Uriah’s wife and had he
(Uriah) “killed” in battle, the Prophet Nathan found him out!

Now the inconsistencies”

The sister says she had left the Castle a little after 1:00pm.
Fifteen Minutes later (1:15pm) she received a call that the
brother had been rushed to 37 Military Hospital. The Chief of
Staff, Henry Martey Newman and President John Mahama said
the President fell ill at 2:00pm and was rushed to 37 Military
Hospital where he died at 2:15pm. Kwabena Agyei, NDC
Chairman said the President had died in the early hours of
Tuesday, 24th July, 2012. Haruna Iddrissu said they had left the
Arts Centre or was it the International Conference Centre at 2:
40pm, past the official time given as time of death of the late
President. Are they re-enacting the script of the death of Yar
Adua who was brought to Nigeria dead but was said to be alive?
Again the sister said they had sung hymns and praises with the
late President before her departure at 1:00pm. She concedes
however that the late President was not well in health. The
Chaplain at the Residency had admitted that the President had
not been well and that he could not even attend the Sunday
Church Service. But President John Dramani Mahama and the
Chief of Staff, Henry Martey Newman vehemently disagreed.
They say the President “suddenly fell ill’. What did they hope to
gain by this gargantuan lie? What are they attempting to hide?

Water everywhere but none to drink. Different accounts by
different people all with their own agenda. Which is which?
And if it may interest you, was there any correspondence
between the National Security Adviser, Brigadier Nunoo Mensah
and a certain Ghanaian Medical Doctor resident in Germany as
it relates to the health of the late President? Answers to what
transpired between the two will reveal a lot as to whether or not
there was a deliberate plot to ensure that the late President
never recovered from his illness. Brigadier Nunoo Mensah is
the only person who can give us an answer to this question.

Now some posers about the cause of death. The brother of the
late President attributes his brother’s death to massive stroke.
Former President Rawlings says it was Cancer. The late
President’s sister says they had eaten and even sang hymns
and songs of praises with their beloved brother, even though
she concedes the late President was a bit ill. The Abusua
Panyin says the late President bled from both the nose and the
mouth. But President John Mahama and the Chief of Staff say
the President was suddenly taken ill. But the Chaplain at the
Castle was emphatic in his assertion that the President was not
in the best frame of health and could not take part in the
Sunday Church Service.

So, why is President John Mahama, together with his Chief of
Staff denying the already known fact that the late President had
not been well for some time prior to his death. Why is it that
anytime someone talks of the death of the late President, the
NDC becomes jittery? What do they have to hide? One thing
which makes an investigation a necessity stems from the
statement made by Anita de Souza, NDC Women’s Organizer.
She said it loud and clear that “the death of President John Atta
Mills was ‘God sent’ because if he had died later than the time
he died, the political fortunes of the NDC would have been
affected” What do you make of such a statement and what is
the IGP waiting for? Why has she not had a date with the
Police? Is she a sacred cow?

The late President, before his death gave us the green light to
investigate any issue that affected his health. A week or so
before his death, in an interactive session with some journalists
at the Castle, a Daily Guide Reporter, Charles Takyi Boadu had
asked the late President to declare openly if he was suffering
from Cancer. Late President Mills did not answer the question
directly but announced his willingness to avail himself to doctors
to examine him. What then are we waiting for?

It will interest readers to know that the new President of Malawi
has instituted a probe into the death of her predecessor. Earlier
on during his life time, late President Mills had asked late
President Yar Adua of Nigeria to make public his health status.
Above all, we should not forget that the late President was a
public figure. We should also acknowledge the fact that all
expenses relating to treatment of his ailment was borne not by
his family, but the State. It was the State that funded the
numerous trips abroad for his medical “check ups” and
treatment. The State therefore has a larger stake in
determining whether or not an inquest is conducted into his
death.

Those who hide under the cloak of privacy should be told in
plain language that the issue is not tenable here. The
proponents of that idea must refund all the monies spent on the
numerous trips of the late president abroad for his ‘medical
examination’ if they still insist that it is the prerogative of the late
President’s family to decide whether or not an inquest should
be conducted into his death.
In the coming days and weeks, there will be gargantuan
revelations concerning the death of President Mills. At best we
might charge the culprits who looked the other way as the late
President ‘wallowed’ in his own blood with ‘manslaughter’
instead of murder. These gargantuan lies by our current
President as they relate to Mills death make him culpable and
accessory to the crime of “murder” or “manslaughter” whichever
way you look at the issue.
You must not forget the fact that the Chairman of the Nefarious
Destructive Cancer, Kwabena Agyei has stated that current
President, John Mahama is the source of leakage of rumour
pertaining to the earlier “death” of the late President. Again
Koku Anyidoho’s paper, “The Finder” had stated that a high
profile official at the Presidency who stood to gain by the death
of the late President was the source of the rumour about the
late President’s death. This occurred a few weeks to the actual
death of President Mills.

So, why should we exonerate President Mahama? He is guilty
as charged. Is it ‘presidential’ for the President to lie through his
heart and mind so as to continue to enjoy the trappings that go
with the office of president? And is it Godly to superintend over
all these gargantuan lies by people at the corridors of power
just to ensure that the Presidency remains in his grasps?
It is alleged that the Former President confided in some close
aides that “they want to kill me”. It is also alleged that when the
late President went for his treatment in the United States, you
President John Dramani Mahama retorted to the hearing of
some close aides of the former “let him die so that I take over
the seat” and that when he returned to Ghana, he confronted
you on the allegations, but you denied any knowledge of it and
attributed it to the work of evil persons in the party.

Well the former President is dead and buried. You might be
innocent of all the allegations, but I strongly believe that if you
claim to be a Christian, then you must be Christ like. You have
to say all that you know about the death of our Former
President. Let no one talk of being disrespectful to the
President. No, I am not. But the onus lies on the President to
initiate the necessary action to clear his name. When Dr Anane
was accused of abuse of office, he went to CHIRAJ and got his
name cleared. Now people are accusing President John
Dramani Mahama of complicity and cover-up in the death of the
President. What does he have to do? There is only one logical
thing left for him to do. Order an inquest into the death. The
bizarre circumstances leading to the death of the former
President demand immediate inquest. And as I have always
said, if our President, John Dramani Mahama has any virtue
and Christian trait left in him, he should do what the masses are
asking of him. Failure to do that will leave most Ghanaians
including my humble self with no other choice but to conclude
that our President knows something about the death of his
predecessor. You can use executive fiat and coercion to hush
up agitations by the masses, but you cannot hide if from God,
who ultimately will reward every individual according to his/her
work/actions on earth.

The time has come to spill the beans as they relate to the
untimely demise of the late President. Any attempts to stifle the
truth or engage in any cover up will invite the wrath of God not
only upon the President, but equally on the people as well.
Remember, when David displeased God by ordering the
enumeration of the soldiers in both Israel and Judah, the anger
of God did not visit David alone, but the people as well. And this
is the more reason why I am calling on well meaning Ghanaians,
including, “Our Lords, both Spiritual and Temporal” to prevail
on President John Mahama to accede to the wishes of the
masses and do the proper thing.

If President Mahama and those apostles who are clutching
strongly to the issue of privacy are Godly and have any moral
turpitude in them, they should listen to what the spirit tells the
church and order an inquest into the death of our late
President. The masses are demanding a public enquiry. What
does the President say to that?
But President John Dramani Mahama, you have been
implicated in a cover-up operation in the death of your
predecessor. A public investigation into the sudden death will
be in your own interest and possibly absolve you from any
blame. Former US President, Richard Milhous Nixon clung
tenaciously to his “executive privilege” until the Watergate
Tsunami swept him and the Republican Party from power. What
have you got to lose if you order a public enquiry into the death
of your predecessor whom you claimed to have loved so
dearly? A denial of the masses wishes will confine you into the
archives as the greatest demagogue that bestrode the political
landscape of this dear nation. It will surely confine you into the
history books as one of such unscrupulous politicians like the
late Sanni Abacha of Nigeria, Ibrahim Babangida of Nigeria, the
late Presidents Ahidjo of Cameroon, Gnassingbe Eyadema of
Togo, Haile Mengistu of Ethiopia, Jean Bedel Bokassa of
Central African Republic, Idi Amin of Uganda, Samuel Kanyon
Doe of Liberia, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, John Voster of
Apartheid South Africa and many other unpatriotic and
rudderless leaders of Africa.

And so, our ‘young and agile’ President at 54: Would you give
in to the demands of your own people?I pause for an answer!!!
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
