Farouk Aliu Mahama has celebrated his father, Alhaji Aliu Mahama’s legacy 13 years after his demise.
In a social media post, he explained that his father, even after his death, continues to touch and change lives.
To him, his father never died, and his legacy will continue to stand the test of time.
His post shared via Facebook read, “It is already 13 years since Alhaji Aliu Mahama passed on to glory and the memory of this tragic incident still weighs much on us.
It was a Friday, the 16th of November,2012, the family and nation was drowned in tears and grief at the news of the sudden passing of His Excellency Alhaji Aliu Mahama. It was real tragedy.
Daddy showed the way with his humility, soft character, intellect, wisdom, and wit when he unexpectedly burst onto the political scene in 2000. Subsequent Veeps have walked in his noble footsteps even where and when they had stronger convictions on particular issues than their principals. He was a staunch patriot and a stalwart of the NPP who honorably served his country.
It is said that great men never die. Alhaji Aliu Mahama was a great man and his legacy lives on. The Aliu Mahama Foundation, his brainchild, till today serves as a social intervention vehicle that is alleviating the plight of dozens in deprived areas. The life he led serves as a guiding principle to many.
His tenacity in rising from his humble beginnings to a certified engineer, accomplished contractor and successful politician is admirable.
As we truly miss a family giant, we pray almighty Allah keep his soul in eternal peace until we meet again on the last day of resurrection”.
