Son of Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah has described the late former president Jerry John Rawlings as a daredevil.
According to Sekou Nkrumah, many Ghanaians disliked Rawlings’s kind because he was too direct and loved to say the truth.
He quizzed if, just like Atta Mills, Rawlings’ death will have an effect on the December polls.
He wrote on Facebook: “I know that with the death of Rawlings, political activities are suspended for a while ( I believe for a week going by what the president wrote in his statement today).
But looking ahead, I am wondering how this sudden death will affect the coming elections? Remember in 2012, the death of President Mills gave NDC lots of sympathy votes! So the question now is this new development going to favor the NDC again?
I guess time will tell🤔”
“I know most Ghanaians can’t stomach the truth, and hate people like me who are too direct!
But I have to say this about JJ:
He was a great man, nothing to do with good or bad but rather to do with having it his way. He imposed himself on the situation, refusing to accept his limitations!
But JJ had many limitations, and he was a walking contradiction in so many ways!
He was very charismatic, very handsome in his younger days. He was also very ambitious, but I think the best way to describe him is that he was a dare devil as kweku Baako will say!” he added.
