The founder of the Progressive People�s Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom says Ghana, in its current state where there is a desperate need for the good counsel of statesmen and women will miss the late Paul Victor Obeng. A post on his Facebook page said: �He will be missed especially during this period in our nation when we need unity of purpose and when we have a desperate need for statesmen and women to stop forward and pull all our efforts in the same direction.� Dr. Nduom remarked that Ghana has lost one of its long serving public servants. He recalled that he was not present in the country �when he [PV Obeng] was with the PNDC administration. I knew him post-PNDC and to me, he was a kind, civil and hardworking person.� PV Obeng died on Saturday of suspected asthma attack. He was the senior advisor to the President, John Mahama, and the chairman of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC).
