Kofi Annan died this morning August 18, 2018
We of the NDC PROFESSIONALS FORUM (GHANA) have learned with profound shock and grief of the sudden passing away of one of the foremost illustrious sons of Ghana and Africa, His Excellency Kofi Annan in far away Switzerland after a short illness.
[ads1]We, of the National Democratic Congress Professionals Forum (Ghana), join the entire professionals’ community of the world to mourn the death of such a celebrated professional diplomat, who rose through the ranks of the United Nations system to become its First Ever Black African Secretary-General of the UN.
We recall with pride and admiration, his singular determination to initiate and implement transformational changes, adherence to professionalism, fairness, and transparency in the United Nations systems.
We admired his solo efforts to bring peace across the Balkans and Sudan as the Secretary-General
Even after leaving office, H.E. Kofi Annan never denied the humanity of his rare peacemaking nature and his professional mediation skills across the troubled world.
The world has lost one of the best emissaries of peace, a man who went to where others dreaded to go to bring peace to humanity.
Africa has once again lost one of her iconic international statesmen.
The Kofi Annan Peace Keeping Center and the Kofi Annan Information Technology Centre of Excellence in Ghana, bear but, a true testimony to his excellent professionalism and ethicality.
We, in the professional community of Ghana, will continue to remember his fearless honesty to resist the oppressors rule anywhere in the world.
May the Souls of Patrice Lumumba, Paa Grant, Jomo Kenyata, Julius Nyerere, Obafemi Awolowo, Herbert McCauley, Maumer Gadafi, Nelson Mandela, Kwame Nkrumah and other Pan African fallen heroes, continue to inspire us as a continent to resist foreign domination.
May their souls fortify us with a rekindled sense of patriotism and help us to resist the oppressors’ rule
The world and Africa have lost a former United Nations Secretary-General, Ghana has lost her most iconic son, but we, as professionals have lost a world-class professional, who knew no limitation to personal and professional excellence in all his endeavors.
We mourn You, We celebrate You, H.E Kofi Annan the true professional icon of the world
May your Soul Rest In Perfect Peace
National President
