Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has paid heartfelt tribute to the late Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama, praising his generosity, hospitality, and unwavering integrity. He described Mahama as a key pillar for both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the nation.
Speaking at the 14th Commemorative Adu’a held in his honor, Akufo-Addo recalled how Mahama’s home was often a place of respite following intense political campaigns. He reflected on the former Vice President’s sudden passing on November 16, 2012, at the age of 66, calling it a deeply sorrowful loss.
“He was a most generous and hospitable host. This was a very honourable and respectable man. A man of great integrity who worked very hard for our country. His death continues to be a matter of profound sadness to me. He went far too early, and that is the way of God,” Akufo-Addo said.

He recalled how Mahama would often visit his late father during his university days and later as Managing Director of the State Construction Corporation in Tamale, always leaving a lasting impression of kindness and generosity.
