A former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Martin Amidu, has said he will miss the �personal friendship of several years� between him and late President John Evans Atta Mills �in spite of all the animosity the self serving politicians tried to sow� between them. The late president�s running mate for the 2000 elections and his one-time principal legal advisor said he fought the �system� and not the man he described as his �teacher, my very good friend, and President.� We bring you exclusively the tribute written by the �Citizen Vigilante� on August 3, 2012 in the book of condolence at the State House in Accra: �H. E. Prof. Atta Mills, I, Martin Alamisi Amidu, wish you my sincerest fare well. I will miss your personal friendship of several years in spite of all the animosity the self serving politicians tried to sow between that cherished relationship this year. �I heard it when you said I spoke the truth all along while others lied to you all the time. Your health did not permit us to meet as you envisaged but I know by that singular intention that we made up. �You have by God�s Grace ended the journey you begun with me on 3/9/2000 and achieved the ultimate goal. You know I fought the system and not your person. My teacher, my very good friend, and President, fare thee well. May God grant you eternal rest till we meet again�.
