The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has learned with utmost unbelief the unwarranted attack by Samuel Atta Mills on comments Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom allegedly made that “...some in the NDC thanked God for Mills’ death”. It is a fact that President John Mahama and the NDC have repeatedly sought to use the death of the late President Atta Mills for political gain.
This obviously has suited the interests of Samuel Mills. Does the younger Mills not know that the late Atta Mills was President for the whole Ghana and not his family only?
For crying out loud, what has Samuel Mills done to pursue his brother's death certificate and cure the inconceivable insult of his strange death and illegal burial?
The eccentric manners of Samuel Atta Mills and his ilk who in this 2016 year of our Lord thinks that there is something negative to "expose" about Dr Nduom’s name Papa Kwesi Nduom is a confirmation that truly he does not even come from KEEA.
We cannot also rule out misguided mischief since the NDC from 2001 have tried to call Dr Nduom Peter Yorke, John Yorke etc. Every Fante has both ancestral and Christian names and this is common among Fante families. So it is only non proper Fantes like Samuel Mills who will cry over such basic Fante naming values.
Everyone who is from KEEA and specifically Elmina knows that in Dr Nduom’s family there are popular names such as Nduom, Asankoma and Yorke.
And it is public knowledge that at birth, Dr Nduom was named Joseph Hubster Yorke Jnr after his father and Papa Kwesi Nduom after one of their illustrious family members. If Samuel Atta Mills cares to know, both names are in Dr Nduom’s baptism and birth certificates. Who in Elmina does not know Dr Nduom as Papa Nduom since his childhood?
Obviously, it is only a stranger who is trying so hard and quite unsuccessfully to convince people that he is also from KEEA who can expose himself about his ignorance; to the extent of publicly threatening to expose Dr Nduom about a so-called change of name from Yorke to Nduom; when in actual fact, there has not been any change of name.
We are fatigued on understanding how and why Samuel Mills could open his mouth so wide to give people evidence that he is NOT from KEEA and is just trying to use his late brother's name to win sympathy votes.
Must we remind Samuel Atta Mills that Dr Nduom’s parents are known very well in KEEA and they taught many people who grew up in the area? Perhaps, Samuel Atta Mills does not even know that Dr Nduom’s father knew the father of the late President Atta Mills who taught at the Komenda Teacher Training College which is how he came to live in Kissi.
To set the record straight, it was Dr Nduom’s father who led Teacher Atta Mills to acquire the farm land at Essaman in Elmina; for which today, Samuel Atta Mills has hired landguards to terrorize innocent people even though he is unqualified to contest any election in KEEA.
Was it not when the late Atta Mills became president that his family built a house at Essaman? The question is, so at what point did Samuel Atta Mills realize that he is from KEEA? Has he not always pointed to Cape Coast or Otuam as where they come from?
And if night should turn to day, now, Samuel Atta Mills would definitely run away.

This fante family call 'Mills' are just a disgrace ; how can a whole family behave like this with the Atta Mills death saga with claims and counter claims about the death of Atta Mills because ; it is important for this family to understand your claim to where you come from and who you are related is very important ; that is why everybody is given a family name that traces where you come from even the bible states clearly that Jesus Chriest came from the house of David in Judea ; THIS IS AN EVIL FAMILY !!!!
@nana, don't you see the man Ackon's dressing? it mimics his writing--mix, mix.
I know for a fact that Samuel Mills is a crook, and did not serve his brother well while the latter was alive. However, I regret to see that communication director Ackon could write such poor and incoherent English on this platform. What happened to the Fantis and their excellent queen's language--both spoken and written??
Oh Ghanaians, every person who had done his best to improve the living condition us, are called names, especially their place of origin. Kwame Nkrumah (Ivorian) Kutu Acheampong (Nigerian), John Kuffour (Burkinabe) and the names are so many. Please let us stop this PHD syndrome for people to develop and better our living conditions of life,toooommoooo tom
If we are a serious country, we should even ban NDC forever from participating in our politics. Do you remember the judges they killed. They now have the luxury to enjoy life. God save Ghana
Does one has to come from a place before he qualifies to contest from that place? We wants to know why he is now using Nduom but not Yorke anymore, simple!!!
After coming home from work and you find out that your pet died some hours before your arrival you will definitely Enquire about the cause of its death. HOW MUCH MORE THEN THE FIRST GENTLEMAN OF THE GHANA LAND. Disappointed Prof. Mills Family, BECAUSE OF SMALL MONEY THEY PAID YOU.BE REMINDED ANY NEW GOVERNMENT WOULD LOOK INTO PROF'S DEATH
Have you forgotten how Otukonor lambasted Nana Addo over the death of his wife. Now that Otukonor's wife too is dead I wonder whether he killed her! When some people use bereavement as a campaign strategy, it is good but for others, bad.
Looks like people are not getting the import of the whole case. When did Samuel Mills come to KEEA when did he start calling himself "Atta", did he just notice that he has to include it in his name. Gone are the days we fell for our tricks. we the people of keea are ready to vote for nduom. mills was our president.
NDC are disgusting people who shouldn't be allowed in any way to manage our country. They think being smart to ste*l is a good qualification to win elections, but every day for thi*f man and one day for master. NDC can never rig and bull doze their way all the time, one day will be a bad day for them. From what paa Ackon has said, I'm having my doubts if this Atta Mills family are truly Fantis. Their father is from Otuam no question about that but the question is where from their mother? Was she really a native of Cape Coast or a settler? I'm asking this because the article ask them if they didn't the Mills family say they come from Otuam and Cape Coast? That was a question, because Akans are maternal inheritance but we've never heard anyone from his mother's side talking only his father's home town of Otuam and his siblings in Cape Coast, are they hiding something from us?are they strangers in the central region? Well, time will tell and if you live in a glass house, you don't throw stones. A stranger in KEEA?Hmmmmmmmm.NDC are mischievous characters.
