Koku Anyidoho, former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has accused members of the Atta Mills Memorial Heritage of stealing the colours of the Institute.
Contained in a tweet, he discredited the personalities behind the choice of colours for the Heritage. Prior to the launch, Mr Anyidoho revealed that some individuals have “cloned everything” and he shall “expose them BIG TIME”.
“People of Ghana, respectfully, please check out the colour of this, Fake and criminally-minded pretenders. They stole the Green & White colours of the Atta-Mills Institute, & when we exposed them, they run for, blue. I am laughing myself to stitches”.

Mr Anyidoho’s tweet follows the launch of the Heritage by Former President John Dramani Mahama at the Cedi Conference Centre at the University of Ghana on Tuesday February 1 2022, under the theme: “The man John Evans Atta Mills – 10 years on.
In a subsequent tweet, he indicated that monies meant to build a library in honor of the late former President Atta-Mills have been “squandered”, monies he alleged were “squeezed out of the Telcos”.
“… So, the contractor has refused to release the keys to the building and it is rotting away in Cape Coast at the mercy of the sea breeze. Heritage indeed!”

Prof Atta-Mills eulogized
Meanwhile, at the launch of the Heritage, Mr Mahama urged all Ghanaians to emulate the peaceful nature of the late Professor John Evans Atta Mills. He noted that the late Prof Mills was truthful and had integrity.
“I call on each one of us Ghanaians to uphold truth and integrity and the peaceful nature of Prof Mills. Let us stay united even in the face of adversity, let us uphold tolerance yet we must endeavour to proceed in unity and in truth, we must also strive to defend the cause of freedom and we must fervently [ensure] the public course to protect our democracy. Prof Mills was such a moral political colossus and there can be no limit on the vehicles and instruments that eulogises his memory and history in the hearts and minds of Ghanaians”.

The Heritage, Mr Mahama indicted seeks to inspire humanity for a better society, a virtue that President Atta Mils lived and died for, even as he “grew the economy to an unpresented level”.
“Prof Atta Mils simply was a good man. It therefore gladdens the hearts of many millions of people who loved him that this decision was taken to launch the Atta Mills heritage here on campus of our Alma Mata, University of Ghana. This is because it was right here this university grounds, the hail of knowledge and the nation’s hope and glory where we are taught to proceed on integrity and truth which prof Mills stood for”.

On his part, Kwame Pianim, an economist, stated that the country does not need a new constitution as the current one with a few “judicial adjudications can be brought to light” when some few changes are effected. Speaking on the need not to “overhaul” the constitution or get a new one at the launch of the Heritage, a new constitution, he noted that what was wrong with the “constitution are us Ghanaians”.
“The President has too much powers but the president doesn’t pass laws. There are 275 MPs sitting there, they are supposed to approve the ministers not the President. So, we say yes, they are the Ministers, we have the Council of state who are supposed to make certain appointments in consultation with or on the advice of”.
