General Overseer of the Alabaster International Prayer Ministry, Prophet Kofi Oduro has blamed Ghanaians for the demise of former President John Evans Atta-Mills.

He opined that the regular verbal abuse spewed on the former president led to his death in 2012.

The man of God said it was unfortunate Ghanaians couldn’t recognize the God-fearing leader he was.

While advising Ghanaians to make a suitable selection in the presidential elections on December 7, he said the country needs a leader like the peace-loving Atta-Mills.

He added that Ghana needs a leader with a good character and will be faithful to its citizenry as well.

He emphasized that “We need a leader like President Mills who will openly acknowledge a national week of fasting and prayer. It is just amazing that this nation, we could not recognize that we had a phenomenal leader. Ghanaians over-insulted him and the constant insults led to his death.”

The late Atta-Mills who was described as ‘Asomdwee hene’ died at the age of 68.

According to reports, the late John Evans Atta-Mills suffered throat cancer and passed away at the 37 Military Hospital while receiving medical treatment.
