Former President John Dramani Mahama has eulogized the late Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, Mr Emmanuel Kyerematen Agyarko, describing him as a “gentleman”.

“Politics may divide us on ideological lines, during debates and arguments, but Emmanuel Agyarko’s personality and conduct in the political space, always exemplified the gentleman that he was. Lordina and I join in expressing our condolences to the wife, children, family and the NPP. RIP,” Mr Mahama tweeted to mourn the lawmaker.
