Dr Cadman Mills, twin brother of late President John Evans Atta Mills has revealed how handlers of the late Leader, due to political expediency were unwilling to fly the ex-President out of the country for treatment when it was obvious that he was ‘dying’.
He recounted how he couldn’t even recognise the ex-President when he (Cadman) returned from a trip abroad due to the former leader’s worsening health condition and yet the Presidency didn’t want to act because election was approaching and feared the opposition party would make a meal out of it.
The late President Mills died while in office on 24th July 2012 after battling ill-health for some time. His poor health condition which affected his vision and hearing was public knowledge.
There were visible signs on him that showed his failing health, especially during his last days in office but his handlers mounted a strong defence anytime the issue came up for discussion.
Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr Chat on Starr FM Wednesday, Dr Cadman Mills stated that he became disrespectful of the Presidency and lambasted the late President’s handlers when they were lethargic in getting him treated because of their political interest.
“My brother got very sick and was in South Africa in 2005 and he had treatment in South Africa and part of the effect of the treatment that he had was that progressively it affected his vision and affected his hearing a little bit. Otherwise, the treatment was extremely successful and he was getting progressively better. The only problem he had was his vision and even that was getting better with time. We were very conscious of the sickness he had in 2005 and therefore he regularly had medical checkups to confirm that everything was okay. Now, some things were happening that I must be very honest I wasn’t happy about. Fiifi (ex-Prez Mills) as I called him was very open, very honest and he’ll sit down with you and tell you in gory detail what his prognosis was, what the diagnosis of his disease was.”
Dr Cadman Mills continued: “He’s not somebody who will hide things but for some strange reason they decided that politically it was not allowable for people to know that he was sick…before that I went to China and when I came back I couldn’t recognise my brother, he was not even coherent. He was very visibly sick and I’d never seen him like that before and I said we had to evacuate him immediately…we had to go to the U.S and that is when they started telling me that elections are going to be soon and politically it was not right….that was the first time I was very disrespectful of the Presidency.
"I told them my peace of mind and I decided we had to go to the USA. What really got me furious was that they said he was going to the U.S for a routine medical checkup and I said what are you people talking about. My brother is a human being, he’s not well…I wanted him to take the time necessary to get well. The fact of your being a president doesn't”t mean you don’t get sick and what is political about getting sick but you see the narrative had been developed for a long time that he was a very sick man, he was on the verge of death at any given time, all if these were not true. ”
He added: “Whatever got him ill was it April or May was something I’d never seen before surely enough we went to the US and lucky enough they detected very quickly what's causing it and he got much better. I was very angry with him when he came back and he wanted to show everybody that he was well…I confronted him on a lot of things including that.”

Since when did you find your voice? What happen to Mills is the same thing done Yardua of Nigeria.DR Cadman you could have save your twin brother.
ABLAKWA ORDERED HIM TO JOG AT THE AIRPORT AND HE OBLIGED.IN THE SAME WAY, ABLAKWA ORDERED MAHAMA TO RELEASE THE MUNTIE THREE CRIMINALS AND HE ALSO DID.
The difference between the NDC and NPP is very clear. The NPP are normal human beings when they have a problem they cannot hide it. They will come out and everybody gets know. The NDC are pretenders who make everything about them seem so good. They can keep secrets even when those secrets are killing them. The difference between two parties came out clearly in the last campaigns. The NPP spotted the trouble makers in their party and got them out in spite negative reception from Ghanaians. They knew what they were doing and wanted. They never pretended and peppered things over to create an artificial peace in their party. The NDC on the other hand pretended everything was rosy in their party. They claim to be masters of elections. Nketiah mocked the NPP and called them disunited and confused. Rawlings warned the NDC but they said he was not correct and that he was old. Cadman has made the point I am trying to make very clear. The only thing is that their family allowed the NDC to use them.
So who killed Atta-Mills?
Massa ***barred word***. Your brother will never forgive you in his grave. What has kept you quiet all this while till now. Is the money that was given to you to shush finished or is it because the murderers are out of power? You are a disappointment to your brother and your family. You connived with these murderers to kill your own blood brother. You should bow down your head in shame. But know that anybody that spills an innocent blood will definitely pay before he dies. That I can promise you so you better be ready for that day.
