President John Dramani Mahama has called of his “Accounting to the People” tour of the Greater Accra region following the death of his mother, Hajia  Abibata Nnaba Sluwu.

The President is expected to fly to Damango in the Northern Region for the burial of his mother today [Wednesday] even though sources close to the family in Busunu in West Gonja where the President’s mum comes from say she passed away Tuesday night.

The cause of death is not readily known but Pulse News understands that the deceased who was popularly known as Hajia she was very old and could barely move.

The President therefore called of his tour in the Greater Accra Region to be present at the burial of his mother which will be done according to Muslim tradition.
