The office of
former President John Agyekum Kufuor has denied reports that he has passed
away.
In a press
release, the office said that the former president is “very much alive and
well.”
Dr. Kwabena
Osei-Adubofour, Senior Aide and Spokesperson of the former president in the
release said that the office has been “inundated with persistent rumours” of
Kufuor’s death.
“We wish to
categorically deny such occurrence and state emphatically that the former
president is very much alive and well,” the release said.
The office urged
the general public to “disabuse their minds of these malicious and uncanny
rumours that spring out of nothing.”
The office also
urged those who may be behind the propagation of the rumours to “desist from
them henceforth.”
“We can only
speculate that the perpetrators do so out of mischief-making and possibly for
unfathomable political purposes,” the release said.
The office said
that it prays for God’s continuous blessings for Kufuor.
Kufuor, 84,
served as president of Ghana from 2001 to 2009.
The rumours of
Kufuor’s death began circulating on social media earlier this week.
This is not the
first time such rumours had been circulated on social media.
