Scores of Ghanaians continue to take time off to visit the tomb of late President Mills at Asomdwee Park. Radio Ghana's Rebecca Ekpe who visited the Park says some of the numerous visitors came with their children. Her observation, based on views sampled at the park indicate that late President Mills tomb is likely to attract a lot of tourists. Professor Mills earned the title "asomdwehene", or man of peace for his humility and many say the late Presidents' true legacy is his peaceful persona and his commitment to upholding human rights. Meanwhile, the Funeral Planning Committee (FPC) says it has made amendments to its original schedule on public access to the Asomdwee Park due to the overwhelming resolve by the general public to pay their last respects and drop flowers at the final resting place of the mortal remains of His Excellency Professor John Evans Atta Mills.
