As a PhD holder, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom must show a bit of “common sense and intelligence” in the manner he speaks about the death of Prof John Evans Atta Mills, the late president’s family has said.
“You see, when you call yourself a Dr., it is assumed that you have a little bit of common sense and some intelligence, but for this man [Dr Nduom] to be going the way that he is going, I am just puzzled and marveled. What he should understand – from what my brother said – was: ‘dzi wu fie asem’ – mind your own business,” Mr Samuel Atta Mills, brother of Prof Mills said on Class FM on Monday 19 September.
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 PPP’s first national rally at the Kawukudi Park in Accra, the party’s General Secretary, Murtala Mohammed, made a fresh call to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to release the autopsy report covering the late president’s death to prove their innocence.
“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 came 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.”
However, Mr Mills, who is the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for Komenda Edina Equafo Abirem Constituency in the Central Region said his brother’s autopsy report is “nobody’s business.”
“The guy has passed on, whatever we put out, people are going to challenge us, why don’t we let him lie in peace, let’s move on. We know what killed him; we have the autopsy report, what is the big deal? How come Paa Kwesi Nduom didn’t raise it four years ago when he passed away? And he waits in an election time? Is this how we run our elections? Well, he calls himself a Doctor, so he needs to at least exhibit that he has a little bit of common sense and some intelligence. He needs to live above this fray. If someone else is saying it [fine]; I don’t expect it out of this man. He needs to be quiet, he needs to run his campaign.”

Mr Samuel mills your brother was refered to as the president of Ghana and not ur abusuapanin or the president of the mill family and that is why Ghanaians are interested in what killed our president so stop those cheap talks and tell us what was on the autopsy since we were told CCTV camera's were not working that day. Politics nti oooo u dey sell ur common S...
Mills family is pathetic. Do you think he was just a member of your family. He was the president of Ghana. We Ghanaians have the right to demand from the current government and NOT the family what killed our president. That is what Dr. Nduom did. Please give us a break.
Are you correct at all ; the answer to your question is simple ; some members of the Atta Mills family can take 'NOKOFIO' in particular all the CHiefs and the Abusapayin in the Atta Mills family ; this not politics Ediot !!!!!!!; this murder within a whole big paryuy called the NDC ; as a rational person do you think everybody in the NDC know the secret plan to murder Atta Mills beside this matter is not an issue of love for Atta mills because Atta Mills was our President and every Ghanaian had a stake in his life as the President of Ghana ; so therefore if some evil people in the NDC conspire to murder Atta Mills we have right to question how the man died because there are rumours which point to fact that it was Jon Mahama and and the NDC that befitted from th Atta MIlls death besides the circumstantial evidence points to a murder plot to get rid of Atta Mills ; IF YOU THINK THIS MURDER IS BEYOND JON MAHAMA : THE NDC AND ASIEDU NKETIA : KOKU ANYIDOHO OR JJ RAWLINGS THINK AGAIN !!!!!!
Ghana politics, how can someone say an accomplished personality like Dr. Kwesi Ndoum has no common sense?. Anybody who is not in what killed Prez mills is the one who needs common sense.A day is comoing when Ghanaians will know how Mills died,mark my words,yooooo
Woaa hw3 di wo fie as3m, from there they will come to you.
SO YOU PEOPLE DONT GET IT? CAN A WHOLE FAMILY TAKE MONEY AND DECIDE TO KEEP QUIET ON WHAT KILLED THEIR KINSMAN? YOU GUYS SHOULD BE A BOT REASONABLE AND STOP READING POLITICS INTO EVERYTHING. I DONT THINK YOU GUYS ARE MORE HURT THAN AGYA ATTAHS FAMILY AND EVEN HIS SON. YOU DONT LOVE HIM MORE THAN ANY OF THEM. THEY SAY THEY HAVE THE AUTOPSY REPORT AND SO BE IT. STOP THIS CHEAP POLITICS. THE GUY IS DEAD AND WHETHER THEY GET TO KNOW WHAT KILLED HIM OR NOT, HE WONT BE BACK TO LIFE. MTCHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Mr. Samuel Atta Mills sorry. The ex-President's death is not a family matter because he was the President of the Republic of Ghana. He wasn't your "abusuapanin". I think you should rather have just a "little commonsense" to tell us what happened to our President.
I doubt if the statement is coming from Mills' family. if it is, then its a big embarassment to them. if as a family they are not interested in how thier kinsman died, that is up to them. what we know is that, posterity will judge all those who had a hand in it.
Aspiring President is getting the right for provoking something that is not necessary and he must refrain for his political ambitions going on this angle as the family of Late President Mills are the right people to be talking and bring in this season of political campaign is completely unjustifiable and mischivious and it may cost him more than gain.
This Mills family guy is part of this Mills GREDDY BASTARDS family !!!!!!!! : the Mills family is the only family in Ghana who when their own or son is killed they just condone his death and take 'NOKOFIO' from the sitting government and keeps quiet ; this family is a DISGRACE to the whole of Ghana ; WHAT KIND OF EVIL family is this that sells their son to be killed by Jon Mahama and the NDC party including Asiedu Nketia and then a relative in the same family comes out in public to raise objections against a legitimate interrogation by an outsider Dr Ndoum ; even his own twin brother denied he was killed ;even his own son was shut out but I am sure one ay his son will instigate an investigation into his father's death by Jon Mahama; WHAT A STRANGE EVIL FAMILY : THIS EVIL MILLS FAMILY !!!!!!!!!
