      FYI, he took ill suddenly and was rushed to the nearest Military hospital. He just returned from a medical trip to the US

      May he RIP.

  64. It is not a shock by any means to any Ghanaian. because President Atta Mills was very sick from the day he became president – a mixture of diabetes, cancer and Alzheimers,

    Although it was not a surprise, we all seen this coming since 2008, but it is a sudden demise cos no one expected it so sudden. IF i was his wife Naadu Mills i would have advice him to resign the last few years and relax – your own health is more important than leading a country you cannot even lead, but rather led under grass by the greedy Ahwois and Tsikatas. I felt sorry for him in the past few years everytime i heard him speak because this was a respectable man when he was a professor in Legon, but his ongoing illness and combination of the pressure of trying to lead a country took a toll. Because its a lot of pressure to be president. This reminds me of your own president Yaradua . Mills ye ma wu due. da yie paa wai. Goodbye Farewell. Now you can rest.

  68. Dear Atta Mills, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
    FYI: Stupid Nigerian politicians!! Atta Mills died in his country, in a Ghanian hospital, so continue spending money going abroad for medical treatment. God is watching you and only time will tell. So keep deceiving yourselves. Nigerian politicians disgust me

  72. What a great loss for Africa. Being an opposition, he won the presidential election beating the incumbent. US President visited Ghana on first official trip to an African country. Many other African leaders have a lot to learn from this rare gem! May his soul rest in peace.
