The composer of the 2012 National Democratic Congress (NDC) campaign song, Richmond Okai-Koi, said the late President John Atta Mills, in a dream inspired him to become a musician. �We were speaking face to face, and he told me that I should do music�, Okai-Koi told Times in an interview at the NDC headquarters in Accra. He said the dream Prof. Mills also told him �NDC is not divided� and God, who gave him the mandate in 2008 would also �help me to bring good things to the nation.� Okai-Koi expressed grief at the death of the President, but was optimistic that the spirit of the President is would still live on. �John go, John come, but the yolk is still there�, he said. Okai-Koi described Mills as a �man of vision�, who tried to �reconcile the nation� and who �never followed unlawfulness�. On July, 24, the day of President Atta Mills� passing, Okai-Koi premiered the music video for the NDC campaign song to representatives of the NDC. Because of Mills passing, the campaign song entitled �Onyame beye� is not going to be released in its original version. Okai-Koi however promised that �it is going to be remixed for the next President�, but that he is going to keep the original version �for history�.
