<\/p>\nKwesi Nyan Amissah-Arthur, son of late former Vice President, Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur, on Friday paid a glowing tribute to his father describing him as one who was a \u201chero in disguise.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Kwesi Nyan, although his father achieved a lot in life, he never boasted about his accomplishments.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026he hardly ever talked about some of his achievements to us his family. His nature meant that he never boasted about any of his achievements. Like a true superhero, he was disguised to even those who knew him best,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Kwesi Nyan made those remarks when he read a tribute at his father\u2019s funeral service at the Accra International Conference Centre in Accra.<\/p>\n

Amissah-Arthur passed away on June 29, 2018, after he collapsed at the Airforce Gym in Accra during a workout session.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of Ghanaians gathered at the Accra International Conference Centre on Friday to pay their last respects to the late former Vice President.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout my childhood, I was fascinated with superheroes; it took me a while to realize that I had my own personal hero. Our hero was a different type of here in the various phases of our lives. He was not your traditional superhero who flew in, saved the day and flew out. He was a constant figure, a consistent principled individual who let his actions speak to us about what was right and what was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hero was a hero to all and he was hidden in plain sight, we know our hero has gone to a better place, however it does not take away from the fact that we have lost our hero. Though we have lost our hero, his legacy remains in those of us whom he raised and trained to be principled, meticulous, diligent and independent-minded in all we do. Today I stand here and boast about my father, my firewall, my superhero, who is better than all those I used to adore as a child, Kwesi Nyan added.<\/p>\n
