The former Member of Parliament for the Binduri Constituency Dr. Robert Baba Kuganab-Lem has said a bolga based artist has in his possession a statue of the late president Mills which has more resemblance to the late President than what was seen at the Asomdwee Park. Apexnewsgh.com report
According to the former MP, the nice-looking burst was built in Bolgatanga way back in 2016 in honor of the late former President Mills after some young men in Bolgatanga came together and decided that, following his decent and exemplary life he lived there was the need to form an Atta-Mills Virtues Club to look critically at his life and then establish critical values he stood for and let these guide their daily lives and that these values will also permeate this generation and generations to come.
The John Evans Atta-Mills 10th commemorative lecture was held in memory of the former President as part of activities to mark the 10th anniversary of his death.
The organized J.E.A. Mills Memorial Heritage lecture was on the theme: “The man John Evans Atta Mills – Ten years on”.
However, the 10 years of remembrance of the late former President did not come without any controversy surrounding it.
As Mr. Koku Ayidoho former deputy national secretary of the NDC at a time was busy refurbishing the Asomdwee Park in honor of his former boss, it appears the family of former President Mills has no official knowledge about Koku Ayidoho’s plans for the anniversary.
The head of former President Mills’s family believes Mr. Ayidoho only used the so-called refurbishing to promote themselves and their institute and to promote their paymasters.
Another aspect that has generated controversy, was the burst built by Mr. Koku Ayindoho and the government in honor of the late President Mills. The statue has received a lot of criticism from some Ghanaians because the name of the late President Mills was missing from it.
Meanwhile, just a few days after the 10 years anniversary of the passing of the former late President Mills, The former Binduri MP Dr. Robert Baba Kuganab-Lem has challenged the quality of the statue produced by Mr. Ayidoho and the government in honor of his late boss. Dr. Kuganab-Lem holds the view that the statue is not a true representation of the former president and should be replaced with the burst in bolga.
