The President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, has called on Ghanaians to recommit themselves to the values of peace, humility, integrity, discipline, and ethical leadership as the country remembers the late President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills.
He made these remarks at the 13th Wreath-Laying Ceremony held in honour of the late president at Asomdwee Park in Accra on Thursday , July 24, 2025.
President Mahama described Professor Mills as a true servant of the people who led with compassion, calmness, and conviction.
He said the former president never allowed political power to change him and remained committed to truth, justice, and peace throughout his life.
“He was calm in the storm, a voice of reason and hope. His politics was never about insults or revenge but about service and reconciliation,” President Mahama recounted.
He noted that Professor Mills’ legacy was not only in the work he did but also in the example he set.
As his former Vice President, Mahama said he personally witnessed how Professor Mills cared for the ordinary Ghanaian and believed in leadership that placed the people above personal or political interest.
The President stressed that laying wreaths and singing praises alone were not enough to honour the memory of the late leader.
He urged Ghanaians to live by the values Professor Mills stood for.
“To truly honour him, we must carry forward his values and build the united and peaceful Ghana he dreamed of,” he said.
He assured the family of the late president of the nation’s continued support and shared in their grief.
“Though he is gone from our sight, he is not gone from our hearts. His work lives on in us, and his legacy continues to guide our path,” he affirmed.
The ceremony brought together government officials, members from the national democratic congress, traditional leaders, and ordinary citizens, all of whom paid tribute to the man many remember as the “Asomdwehene”, the King of Peace.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
