Former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has expressed his frustration over the lack of progress in resolving the murders of former President John Fiifi Atta-Mills.
His concerns surfaced following the call by the NDC’s national chairman, Aseidu Nketia (General Mosquito), for the government to investigate the deaths of three Members of Parliament (MPs).
On his X platform, Anyidoho shared his apprehension, stating, “If Mosquito is soooo concerned about the killing of 3 NPP MPs, I am also soooo concerned about the killing of President Atta-Mills.”
In an opinion piece, Mr Anyidoho analyzed the reactions surrounding John Kumah’s death, highlighting what he perceives as hypocrisy in political discourse.
He pointed out the inconsistency of individuals who engage in partisan politics while demanding transparency regarding Kumah’s death but criticize others, including himself, for seeking the same regarding the late President John Evans Atta-Mills.
Mr Anyidoho raised questions about the circumstances surrounding Atta-Mills’ death, suggesting that poisoning might have been involved.
He emphasized the importance of transparency, especially considering Atta-Mills’ status as Ghana’s former president and the first head of state to die in office.
Mr Anyidoho argued that the government has a responsibility to disclose the cause of death in such cases.
“In my belief of being consistent with my principled convictions – especially on the national platform, I have no qualms about the calls being made for the cause of John Kumah’s death to be investigated and made public especially because he was a public official on the payroll of the Republic of Ghana.
However it is very interesting and stinkingly hypocritical that, very unprincipled characters who choose to play stinking silly partisan politics with every issue, are jumping all over themselves on the issue of John Kumah’s death, but turn around to call some of us names for demanding same as regards the death of the late President John Evans Atta-Mills .
Since the issue of alleged poisoning has entered the political arena, who says that the late President John Evans Atta-Mills did not also die from poisoning?
“I repeat: who says the late President Atta-Mills did not also die from poisoning? Both the late President Atta-Mills and John Kumah, were state actors of public repute – but the late President was the Number One citizen of Ghana and also the first ever President of the Republic to have died in office and that makes it more of an important imperative for the State to tell the nation the cause of death,”.
