Despite ex President John Evans Atta Mills passion to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians while in office, it has emerged that the former Leader never had a comfortable lifestyle as President.
Startling revelations coming out indicate that he preferred remaining a ‘sacrificial lamb’ to his party and the nation at large, living a modest lifestyle as President.
Late Mills was sure-footed to make a difference in the economic conditions of Ghanaians but ironically overlooked conditions that will improve his own life deserving of a President.
His own brother, Cadman Mills reckoned on Starr Chat with Bola Ray Wednesday that his apartment that he lived in at the Castle was typically not fit for human beings to live in.
“I would go to his quarters in the castle which were not really basically fit for human being to live in. I mean my God and he will be sitting in this chair very quietly,” he told Bola Ray.
Cadman reveals that he was generally opposed to his brother sticking to such modest lifestyle, and the fact that he was totally uninterested in his own comfort and material things.
“Unfortunately he was too accepting of the unacceptable, …and Yes in retrospect we’ll blame ourselves that we should have acted stronger and more insistently but you can always cry over spilt milk.
“Infact he used to call himself a sacrificial lamb, and that was a big mistake because you can’t sacrifice yourself and think you can help anybody. But anyway it’s spilt milk and so what can we do? he said on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM.
