A former Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Koku Anyidoho, has expressed his frustration on social media over the vandalism of a statue of the late former President, Prof. John Evans Atta Mills, at the Asomdwee Park, the former president’s resting place.
Visuals from the park revealed that the plaque of the statue, which had credited Koku Anyidoho as the donor, had been removed.
Before it was destroyed, the plaque displayed details about the late former president along with the inscription “Donated by Samuel Koku Anyidoho.”
While the plaque was found broken into pieces, the statue of Prof. Mills remained intact.
The individual responsible for removing the plaque remains unclear, but Asomdwee Park is state property, designated as the final resting place for deceased presidents of Ghana.
In a post shared on X on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, Koku Anyidoho took solace in his faith following the destruction of the plaque.
“This just happened @ Asomdwee Park. My Bible tells me that ‘In All Things’ (not in some things), I should give thanks to God. I am also singing… ‘It is well with my soul.’ To God be all the glory, and my prayer is for God to continue blessing my beloved homeland, Ghana,” he wrote.
