The Law Professor who was the sitting President of his beloved nation died at a Military Hospital in Accra, Ghana after falling ill. A few hours later without any unnecessary encumbrances his Former Vice-President, John Dramani Mahama was sworn in to replace him as the President of the Gold rich country.
