Anyidoho was quoted as saying: “When Professor Atta Mills died, in order not to feel that he has been forgotten and also the narration surrounding his death, together with Kwamena Ahwoi, we decided to write a biography of him to put to rest the twisted narrative about his death."

The book is said to contain the thoughts of about 70 respondents, including those of ex-president Kufuor, as well as family and classmates of the late Atta-Mills.

It will be launched in July to coincide with the 7th anniversary of his passing.

Meanwhile, Anyidoho has opined that Ghana is not likely to match up with developing countries if the mentality of the people and attitude of politicians did not change.

According to him, the idea to transform the country into what was called the ‘Better Ghana’ by former president John Evans Atta Mills, was unfortunately shattered by his death.
