The first anniversary celebration of the death of former Vice-President Alhaji Aliu Mahama is scheduled for November 9, 2013. The Aliu Mahama Foundation, in conjunction with his family, is spearheading the planned anniversary. A series of activities, including a Memorial Lecture, will be held in Accra and in Tamale, where the former vice-president was laid to rest. Farouk Ali Mahama told Citi News that the anniversary was intended to build peace and unite Ghanaians. �We are going to use the event to build peace and deepen unity in our country because our late father stood for peace and also he was a unifier,� he submitted. He added that even though Aliu Mahama �stood for the NPP, the anniversary is not going to be political and so we are going to collaborate with the government and other stakeholders to make it a national event.� The late Alhaji Aliu Mahama died on November 16, 2012 at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.
