Mrs. Ernestina Naadu Mills

C/R Queen Mothers mourn with Naadu Mills
Queen Mothers from the Central Region have been
mourning the late President John Evans Atta Mills
at his Regimanuel residence off the Spintex road
in Accra.

The female traditional rulers travelled to Accra
on Thursday to console Dr. Mrs. Naadu Mills, the
widow of the late President ahead of next week’s
state burial of the nation’s former leader, who
died in office last month.

During the visit, the Queen Mothers re-assured the
former first lady that they will support her in
whichever way possible to pull her through the
devastation caused by the demise of the her
husband, President Mills.

The Secretary to the Queen Mothers Association in
the Central Region, Nana Adedua II told Citi News,
the association wants an immediate ceasefire over
the standoff between government and members of the
late President’s extended family over where to
bury his remains.

She explained that “traditionally, he is to be
buried in the Central Region but he was our
President so the committee should sit down with
the family members and plan the funeral and the
burial.”

Nana Adedua II also backed President John Mahama’s
nominating Kwesi Amissah Arthur as his Vice
President.

“We are not being tribalistic, but we are very
happy that a competent person has been nominated
to be the Vice President. We would have supported
anybody he chose but thanks be to God he is from
our land,” she stated.
