The former first lady Ernestina Naadu Mills wanted her husband Professor John Evans Atta Mills to step down due to his ill health.
The National Security Advisor, Brigadier-General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah said “He (Mills) told me General, my wife has advised me to step down, but I
(General Nunoo- Mensah) told him that God is in control and has put him
there…so he can’t leave and abandon his people,"
The twice Chief of Defence Staff of the Ghana Armed Forces said he was
privy to some of these vital information because of the very good
rapport that existed between him and the late president.
“Sometimes he calls me and I go to him, we spoke in Fante…for a long
time we talked together and I gave him great respect as my president and
he in return respected me as being a little bit older than him. We
talked a lot about life and things that were personal to him and funny
enough we shared the same views. When I look at my background and his
background, we have so many things in common…we used to share ideas and I
liked to encourage him…Sometimes he calls me general…I haven’t done
anything but they keep heaping insults on me and abusing me. Then I tell
him, Mr. President, I want to urge you to read the book of Job. They
tore Job into pieces but he didn’t abandon God…so have faith in God and
stay strong,” were some of the words Brigadier-General Joseph
Nunoo-Mensah said he used to spur the late president on.
