ABSTRACT

The number one citizen of Ghana yesterday suffered a worrying traffic jam and was held up in a pool of cars for more than half an hour when he was on his way to the El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra to address Muslims during the Eidul-Fitr celebration. President Atta Mills 1 stunned a highly-depleted crowd when he appeared late in an all white Muslim attire after trekking through the jammed traffic on foot, abandoning the presidential fleet of four BMWs and one four-wheel drive on the street… When President Mills finally arrived, he apologized to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu; Council of Muslim Chiefs, former Vice President Aliu Mahama, Ministers of State, Members of the Diplomatic Corps and the sparse crowd, confirming he had been stuck in heavy traffic and had moved out of his car to walk to the venue.
