Pastor Abdulah has revealed a conversation he had with the late former President John Evans Atta Mills before his death.
According to Pastor Abdulah, who claims to have had a close relationship with the late former President disclosed that the Atta Mills told him someone put drugs in his pool.
Speaking on ‘Biribi Wo Wiase’ in a discussion, Pastor Abdulah described the late president as a God-fearing individual who had a strong love for God.
He revealed that Atta Mills was one of the most religious presidents he had encountered, adding that he visited him on two occasions at the Castle.
Pastor Abdulah stated, “He was a God-loving man, and he loved God more than any president I have come across. He invited me to the Castle on March 25, 2009, and also in May 2012. I was very close to him”.
He recounted that during one of his visits, security personnel initially prevented him from entering the Castle because of his appearance.
“When I got there, the soldiers didn’t want me to enter because of the way I was dressed. He even said I was crazy. I was standing outside when Atta Mills called to find out where I had gotten to. I told him, and he sent a car to come pick me up,” Pastor Abdulah stated.
According to Pastor Abdulah, during their interactions, the late Atta Mills told him about the circumstances surrounding the onset of his illness.
He disclosed that Atta Mills’ health problems began while he was in Canada, where he had previously worked as a teacher.
He also alleged that the former president told him that someone had put drugs in his swimming pool which he believed was connected to his cancer.
Pastor Abdulah stated, “He told me that his sickness started when he was in Canada. He said he was a teacher there. I was even a CPP member until Rawlings asked him to come back to Ghana and support the NDC.
“He made me aware that someone placed drugs into his swimming pool, and after he bathed in the pool, some of the water entered his eyes, which caused his cancer,” he added.
In related news, President John Dramani Mahama narrated how he received the news of the death of the late President John Evans Atta Mills.
In the video, which has resurfaced on X, President Mahama narrated the emotional moment he learned about the passing of Atta Mills.
According to John Mahama, he collapsed in his chair and broke down crying like a baby after receiving the devastating news that the president had died.
Speaking to KSM in the resurfaced video, John Mahama narrated, “If I remember properly, it was about 2:30 pm when I got a call from the Chief of Staff. He asked where I was, and I told him I was just leaving to come and join them at the hospital. He then told me to wait in my office and that there was no need to come because the president had just passed away. This was about 2:30 or shortly before that.
“It was a very sad day. I just collapsed in my chair, broke down, and wept like a baby. It’s not something I like to recall. That same evening, here you are, having to be sworn in as president,” he said.
Mahama further narrated, “My ADC locked up my office, so I was there by myself, just trying to gather my thoughts. I stayed there for about an hour when the Speaker, the Attorney General, and some other officials came to see me. My ADC called me on the intercom and said they wanted to see me, so I went into the washroom, washed my face, and tried to compose myself.
“They came in and said they had referred to the Constitution and that the swearing-in had to take place immediately. I protested because I thought we could do it the next day. I didn’t see how I could bring myself to go through a ceremony like that after receiving such tragic news. But they insisted and explained that, by the provisions of the Constitution, there could not be a vacuum in leadership,” he added.
