Aliu Mahama didn’t allow religion to limit him- Dr Tetteh

Accra, Nov. 19, GNA – Dr Lawrence Tetteh, President of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, UK on Monday described the late former Vice President Aliu Mahama “as a man who did not let his religious persuasion act as barrier with other faiths.   He noted that Alhaji Mahama attended numerous crusades he organised in Ghana over the years and after his term ended as Vice President.   Dr Tetteh made this known in a statement issued in the UK and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra.   “It was characteristic of him to openly declare the goodness of God during his vivid narration of the miracles he witnessed during these crusades. His deep Muslim background was not a hindrance to his association with other religions- A true open minded leader!   “He abhorred indiscipline and his message on discipline was embraced by all. He was a man of peace.”   Dr Tetteh said when he lost his father; Sampson Tetteh, in 2008, Alhaji Mahama came to mourn with him and sat throughout the funeral and burial service.   “He stood with me and my family - a mark of his great sense of duty and unbridled love which is etched in my memory and indeed the memory of the... Tetteh family of Dodowa and beyond.   “His love for me drew me to his family. My heart goes out to his wife, Hajia Ramatu Mahama...  children and the...family.   “It is my prayer that his death will unite the country in our grief, irrespective of our political and religious backgrounds – this is what he stood for.   “Alhaji Aliu Mahama will be truly missed by me personally, my wife Barbara, the... Tetteh family and the Worldwide Miracle Outreach. May his soul find rest in the God who he so avidly served,” Dr Tetteh said.   Alhaji Mahama who was Vice President from 2001- 2009 under former President John Agyekum Kufuor of the New Patriotic Party died on Friday, November 16, at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, after a short illness.   He was buried in his private residence in Tamale on Sunday after a State Funeral at the Independence Square in Accra.   GNA...
