The former Vice-President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills says he would make a pronouncement on the state of Affairs within the National Democratic Congress (NDC) by the end of Tuesday 10th September.
He was speaking at a meeting with the Chiefs and Elders of the Asogli Traditional Area today at Ho, where he had gone to mourn with them following the death and burial of their Paramount Chief Togbe Afede Asor in August. Professor Mills, who did not say which areas his pronouncement would touch upon, was the flag bearer of the NDC in the 2000 Elections. He was out of the country during the burial rites of the late chief in Ho.
Professor Mills presented four bottles of schnapps, two cartons each of beer and minerals, a keg of palm wine and ''solom'', a local brew and one million cedis to the family. He appealed to the kingmakers to go about the nomination and installation of a successor in a peaceful manner and with love. The War Chief of the Traditional Area, Togbe Adzie Lakle Howusu XII received the gifts on behalf of the five divisions of Asogli and thanked Professor Mills for his concern.
Professor Mills's entourage was made up of Mr Martin Amidu, his running mate in the 2000 Elections and a former Deputy Attorney - General and Deputy Minister of Justice. Others included Mr Steve Obimpeh, a former Minister of State and a Party functionary, Mr Modestus Ahiable, MP for Ketu-North and Chairman of the Volta Regional Branch of NDC, Mr Kofi Attor, MP for Ho-Central, Mr Steve Akorlie, MP for Ho-East, Miss Akua Sena Dansua, MP for North-Dayi and Mr Kosi Kedem, MP for Hohoe-South.
