National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo says former president John Dramani Mahama remains the only living president the party has produced therefore they look up to him for direction and inspiration.
Speaking to 3news after the NDC held its 29th anniversary, he eulogized the party’s late founder, Jerry John Rawlings noting that his spirit will continue to be with the party.
“Even though [Mr Mahama] was not with us physically spiritually he was hugely with us at this ceremony. He is the only surviving president that we (NDC) have now and we look up to him for inspiration and direction.”
He added “So, as we celebrate this 29th anniversary for the first time without the Founder of the party, whiles we rejoice that the good Lord has brought us this far on the other side, we are very sad that for the first time we are celebrating this without our charismatic founder.
“We believe that President Rawlings spirit will continue to rally behind this party, it will continue to guide us in all that we are doing and we are praying that the good Lord will grant him a resting place and allow his legacy to blossom and grow from strength to strength.”
