A leading member of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Prof. Kwamena Ahwoi has narrated a sequence of events that nearly forced the late President Atta Mills to resign.
According to him, the decision taken by the former President was as a result of some disparaging comments directed at him by the former President Jerry John Rawlings at an event in Tamale.
“There was one particular incident which nearly caused President Mills nearly to resign. In fact, he resigned. The only thing that saved this country was that he called to tell me that he was resigning,” he said while speaking on Citi TV’s Footprints hosted by Samuel Atta Mensah.
According to Prof. Ahwoi, it took his intervention to prevail upon the late President to rescind his decision.
“I was at an IEA conference in Aburi when he called to ask me; have you heard what Jerry has gone to say about me in Tamale? I said no I haven’t heard and he said to get the audio and listen to it because I have resigned and I don’t want anybody to try to stop me,” he added.
