Mr Donald Adabere, Chairman of the Upper East Region branch of the Ghana Red Cross Society (GRCS), has admonished Ghanaians to emulate the life of former United Nations General Secretary, Dr Kofi Annan.

Mr Adabere stated that the late UN General Secretary lived a life to the admiration of all which impacted positively on Ghana and the world as a whole.

“When people die they leave behind memories and this is somebody who has such tremendous impact not only to Ghanaians but the rest of the world. And I think that we must make it a point to read about him, to read about things he has done and to try to follow his ways because any meaningful leader will want to live the life of Kofi Annan”, he stated.

Mr Adabere made this remarks when he led the Upper East Region Women’s Wing of the Ghana Red Cross Society to express their condolences to the family of Dr Annan through the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC).
