President John Dramani Mahama and his governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been challenged to make available the coroner’s report on the death of former President John Evans Atta Mills if they have nothing to hide.
On July 24, 2012, Prof Mills became the first Ghanaian leader to die in office, but with the exact cause of death withheld from the public, speculations have been rife that there may have been foul play in the former law professor’s passing which occurred only six months to the 2012 polls. Prof Mills’ health had deteriorated by then and he had been considered too weak to endure the physical demands of campaigning.
At the Progressive People’s Party’s (PPP) first national rally at the Kawukudi Park at Nima in Accra, the party’s General Secretary, Murtala Mohammed, made a fresh call to the NDC to release the autopsy report.
“If you didn’t kill Mills and if you are not happy Mills died, produce the autopsy report. We are challenging John Mahama to produce the autopsy report of [late] President Mills. The Central Region people here, I want you to listen to me: if John Mahama comes to your region, tell him to produce the autopsy report,” he urged.
Mr Mohammed’s comments come within the same week that PPP founder and flag bearer Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, at a rally in Cape Coast, had said some NDC officials put on a public show of sorrow with Prof Mills’ demise but privately rejoiced over his passing, saying it had paved the way for their electoral triumph in 2012.
He told the crowd at a rally held on Thursday September 15: “Mills was our kinsman and he became the president. Some people criticised and attacked him until he died. And some of the NDC people themselves thanked God that Mills died. Is that not strange? And after his death they came back here to tell us to replace him with another person from the Central Region.”
"After all that, they go about provoking us that if Mills had not died, the NDC wouldn’t be in government today. ... It appears as though they deliberately pushed him to the seat so they can commit the wrongs behind him.”

This shows how serious we are as a country, even in our communities when such a strange death we try to find the cause of it and a whole President. Thanks PPP help us find the truth
The truth is very necessary in order to close this chapter permanently. Why hide something when there is nothing amiss?
Please leave the family of Prof. Mills in peace. Why all this torment. Heartless people.
YOU GUYS ARE DOING NICE CAMPAIGN WHY ARE YOU ADDING MILLS ISSUE TO DESTROY YOUR MESSAGE. NPP WHO STARTED THIS HAS LEARNT LESSONS FROM THIS PLEASE MY DEAR PARTY MEMBERS STOP THIS N FOCUS ON THE MESSAGE. IF WE ARE SO INTERESTED IN THIS AUTOPSY THEN LETS GO TO HIS FAMILY RATHER THAN USING IT IN OUR CAMPAIGN
The truth must be known and it will be known very soon
His OWN BROTHER AND THE WIFE WERE ON CAMPAIGN PLATFORM CAMPAIGN FOR NDC WHO Am I TO REQUEST FOR THAT. IT SHOWS HOW DISHONEST AS COUNTRY AND ITS WILL TAKE A GRACE OF GOD FOR NANA ADDO TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF GHANA
Just produce the report if indeed there is nothing fishy.I always remember what Mahama said when Mills died."God in his own wisdom took the live of Mills so that I will be Ghana's president" Why are you afraid be do an investigation?
Ehh papa Akwasi, Mohammed,so u have joined the que of indecent talk,saneba,go ahead,it shall be well if you.
Herh! Did Ndoum really make the comments attributed to him? I am shocked. I had lots of respect for him but....I am shocked
@Naadu you are completely right, The opposition are weak in communication,The Opposition need to understand that most people in Ghana don't read and believed everything a politician said,either truth or lies,The Ndc are good in propaganda and making the masses believe their lies,Their founder Papa J, including his wife whom founded this party build it with the money,sweats and blood didn't attend the manifesto launch in Sunyani,Yet the president is boldly lying to the public that the NDC is the most united Party in Ghana, Imagine if Npp did a campaign launch and Ex-President Kuffour didn't attend, Hell will broke loose their will say yes it is because Nana is a vindictive person,Couples of years ago because of NDC lies i used to believe that Nana is a very Bad,Worthless person and also in drugs until i carefully read more and researched about Nana..NPP have more communications materials to win this election convincingly in first rounds if their can use their materials well.
