These words were uttered by Former President Kufuor as he fondly and tearfully recalled moments with the late Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia. (his mentor).

At the launch of a commemorative book to honour Dr. K.A Busia, Ghana’s Prime Minister of the Second Republic, he mentioned that the country has been deprived of the full impact of Dr. Busia’s agenda for development as he couldn't get the opportunity to fulfil them.

"how could this man be overthrown? I thought, thought and thought about the issue. He didn’t come back to Ghana and died in exile. That resulted from then that whatever it will take I’ll stay in politics till God gives me the chance to fulfil what Busia couldn't do. He trained me deeply on values and the sovereignty of the human individual and I believe that's the basis for his great call for democracy and social intervention" he sorrowfully said

The book, titled, “K.A BUSIA -A SYMBOL OF DEMOCRACY” is the most comprehensive document yet on the late Ghanaian scholar and the first African to attain the position of a professor in Ghana.
