President Kufuor signs book of
condolence for the US President
Accra, Jan. 4, GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor on
Thursday signed the book of condolence opened for the late
United States (US)
President Gerald Ford at the American Embassy in Accra.
He conveyed his sympathies and that of the nation to the US
Government and the bereaved family for the lost of the
former leader.
He wrote: "On behalf of Government and people of the
Republic of Ghana, expressing condolences to the Government
and bereaved family of the United States of America on the
passing away of President Gerald Ford.
"He served his great nation with merit. May he rest in
peace."
Republican President Ford, the 38th US President, died at
the ripe age of 93.
He became President following the resignation of President
Richard Nixon over the Watergate Scandal.
He has already been buried.
Meanwhile, President Kufuor later in the day granted
audience to Professor Frances Caincross, Rector of the
Exeter College, Oxford University, London, at the Castle,
Osu.
The Rector had been invited to join in the national
celebration of the Golden Jubilee of independence but
decided to visit earlier as it might not be possible for her
to come over during the jubilee day.
She presented to President Kufuor souvenir from his alma
mater. They later held discussions behind closed doors.
