President Akufo-Addo has eulogized close friend Sir John at his funeral which happened yesterday at his hometown, Sakra Wonoo in the Ashanti Region.
Speaking at the funeral, President Akufo-Addo said Sir John was a true loyalist and a good friend who inspired him to become the President of the country.
According to President Akufo-Addo, Sir John uplifted his spirit that he will definitely be the President of Ghana and indeed it has come to pass.
He says following that, he just knew he was someone who can be trusted, a true friend and a loyalist.
He said that, “…Make no mistake, Nana will lead NPP even if he is in a wheelchair…. Indeed, while few and the NPP could believe in me again, he had over-declared me as presidential candidate for the party for the 2016 elections three clear years ahead of time. Perhaps he had seen something others have not. For me, that statement in 2013 reinforced my belief that I can always count on Sir John as a true and true Akufo-Addo loyalist and someone I could call a good friend.”
Sir John who before his demise was the Chief Executive Officer at the Forestry Commission died on 1st July 2020…[ads5]
