Mills Suspends high profile political activity

The Office of NDC Leader and Presidential Candidate, John Evans Atta Mills, wishes to make it public that in view of the on-going Ghana 2008 Cup of Nations tournament, the NDC Leader has decided to suspend all high profile political activity.

The Ghana 2008 tournament provides the nation with an opportunity to rally behind a common and purposeful cause, hence the decision of John Evans Atta Mills to let the tournament take precedence over any high profile political activity of his.

Certainly, the NDC, as a body corporate, will continue to work at the national, regional, constituency and branch levels.

The Office Of the NDC Leader takes this opportunity to express its profound gratitude to Ms. Elizabeth Ohene, Minister of State at the Ministry of Education Science and Sports for the extra effort she and her office put in to ensure that John Evans Atta Mills got an official invitation to the opening ceremony of Ghana 2008 as well as ensuring his comfort at the stadium.

The interest of Ghana is certainly bigger than any sectarian interest and John Evans Atta Mills appreciates very much the spirit of nationalism exhibited by Ms. Ohene and her outfit.

With the Black Stars starting on a shining note with a 2-1 victory over their Guinean counterparts, it is the hope of John Evans Atta Mills that the ?Host And Win? goal of Ghana 2008 will become a reality for Ghana to once again fly high her football prowess.

At all times, John Evans Atta Mills and the NDC will endeavour to make sure that the agenda of Ghana is foremost on their minds.
