Speaking in an interview with JoyNews’ Maxwell Agbagba, Mr Atta-Mills who doubles as MP for Komenda Edina-Eguafo-Abrem constituency warned Mr Anyidoho that that political power is transient.

“When they advise you and you don’t listen, this is what happens. But Koku Anyidoho should know that his hiding behind political power. Every political power in this world has an expiration date.

“A day will come that political power he is hiding behind will expire,” he said on Wednesday.

His comments come after the chaos that rocked the Asomdwee Park on Monday, July 24, when Mr Anyidoho overran his scheduled time, thus, delaying the second memorial service by Atta Mills’ relatives and members of NDC.

The lawmaker also accused Mr Anyidoho of bussing some individuals to pose as family members of the late President during the wreath-laying service.

“You’re not related to this man and anybody could come here and celebrate him. He [Atta Mills] is for the country so why would you want to clash with us? And as a coward as he is, he ran away and left the people here – the fake family over here.

“… We didn’t intimidate anybody but when persuasion fails, force is applied. Indeed, we are at Asomdwee Park but when we talk to you and you don’t understand, sometimes a little bit of encouragement will make you move,” he said.

The sister of former President Atta Mills, Mercy Araba Ahema Quarshie, described the incident as ugly and disgusting.

Addressing the incident, Madam Quarshie criticised Mr Anyidoho for tampering with Prof Atta Mills’ grave without the family’s consent.

“I want to make it clear to everyone that Koku Anyidoho has stepped on the wrong foot by tampering with our brother’s grave without our knowledge.

“That is unacceptable and now we are going to deal with him because it is a taboo in our family to do that,” she said.

His comments follow President Akufo-Addo’s backing calls for the late John Atta-Mills’ autopsy report to be captured in official public records.

This comes after Odomaa Clan of Ekumfi, accompanied by Mr Anyidoho raised concerns that they were yet to receive the autopsy result of the late head of state after 11 years.

According to the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem legislator, who is also a sibling to the late Prof Atta-Mills, he could not fathom why these individuals are extremely concerned about this matter when the report, per his assertion, is already one in the public records.

“What is the obsession about this autopsy report? If Koku Anyidoho is minded, he used to work for President John Evans Atta-Mills. Do you think the President was buried just like a chicken?” he said on JoyFM’s Midday News on January 13, 2024.

He explained that, the family had been handed the autopsy result adding that if the aforementioned individuals were concerned about the late President’s result, they must do due diligence.

“Go to the AMA, they have a copy of the autopsy report. They gave us the burial certificate. Go to the 37 military hospital, there is a copy of the autopsy report over there. Those who performed the autopsy are still alive. I am not the one to give them a copy of it,” he argued.

Again, the legislator said he did not share family ties with the said individual requesting for Professor Mills affectionately called Asomdwe Hene’s autopsy result.

On the back of this, Mr. Mills vehemently said “How come whenever it gets to election time involving President Mahama then all these autopsy reports and everything come up? Look NPP, Koku Anyidoho, if you don’t have anything to campaign on, please leave the peaceful Professor John Evans Atta-Mills to rest in peace.”
