Koku Anyidoho, the founder of the Atta-Mills Institute has reacted to criticisms that he has arrogated the name of former President John Evans Atta-Mills to himself without recourse to his Mills’ family.
He has also been accused of engaging with the government to refurbish the Asomdwee Park, the final resting place of the late President without recourse to the family of Professor Mills.
In a radio interview Monday morning, Anyidoho dismissed the criticisms and said for four and half years while former President John Dramani Mahama was in office [July 24, 2012 to January 6, 2017], he pleaded with President Mahama to erect a tombstone on Mills’ grave but he was ignored.
He said when he initiated moves to plead with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo when he succeeded President Mahama to erect the tombstone and rehabilitate the Asomdwee Park, NDC folks told him to wait till Mahama was in power again so he could be it.
Mr Anyidoho commended President Akufo-Addo for agreeing to his request for the state to rehabilitate the park to a status befitting the stature of the late President Mills.
He gave an assurance that he would ensure the regular maintenance of the park.
