He wrote: “Ghana is proud of your achievements in your 19 solid years as First Lady and Mother of the Nation. While we are all saddened by your passing, we celebrate your life. It’s been unsettling that you passed when we were just about planning the fifth anniversary and funeral rites for our former President, Jerry John Rawlings, your husband. You have fought a good fight and deserve a peaceful rest.”
