As Ghana and the rest of the world mourn the death of President John Evans Atta Mills, the world of entertainment has not been left out. From cancelled events to postponed music release, Ghana’s showbiz fraternity has responded to the tragic and shocking loss. I solicited some tributes and messages of goodwill from some celebrity friends that would hopeful inspire us as a nation to unite and honour the memory of the late President, by upholding the ideals he was largely believed to stand for.

My heartfelt condolences to all my friends in Ghana; we pray for God’s guidance as you go through this difficult stage. I understand how difficult it can be, we lost our third president while he was in office and many will say Zambia is on a totally different course now from that which he charted. We pray that God will give you a smoother transition.
