GOMOA WEST DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

GOMOA WEST DISTRICT MARKS ONE-WEEK OF LATE PRESIDENT   J.E. ATTA MILLS’ PASSING

REST IN PEACE

The Gomoa West District Assembly organised the above programme today, 31^st July, 2012. The event which took place at the Apam lorry park was massively attended by traditional authorities, public officials, political party representatives and members of the general public from all parts of the district.

Indeed, public turn out at this programme was one of the best ever in the district. This, once again, reaffirmed the overwhelming respect, admiration and recognition that the people had for Late President Atta Mills’ personality and the ideals that he stood for. For Many, the only way they could now honour the late president was to attend his funeral celebration in the district capital, Apam when the opportunity availed itself. A marked aspect of this great occasion was the several dance ensembles that participated.

Addressing the gathering, Hon. Theophilus Aidoo-Mensah, the DCE for Gomoa West thanked everybody present for making time for the memorial service. He said the time has really been a most tragic and sad one for the nation to have lost such a personality like President Mills, who, by all standards, was a great blessing to Ghana.

DCE ADDRESSING THE SYMPATHIZERS

The DCE went further to say that the fact that the programme was attended indiscriminately by members of all political parties attested to the truth that the late President was actually a patriot and statesman. In compliment to the Late President Mills, Hon. Theophilus Aidoo-Mensah, the DCE maintained that the late President was a unifying father.For the DCE, that underscored why the Late President  never took anybody to book for the obscene language that sections of the Ghanaian society, including the Late President’s own former students sometimes subjected him to.

CHIEF OF AKYEAPIM TRADITIONAL COUNCIL

An equally important highlight by the DCE was that, even though the Late President is no more with the nation, that should not be a basis for chaos and anarchy. The DCE rested his speech by praying that the peace loving spirit of Late President Mills would continue to bless and keep the nation.

The gospel sermon for the day was delivered by Rev. Ebo Walters of Apam Methodist Church. There was also a heavy media presence.
