National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama has insisted that the party’s demised founder, Jerry John Rawlings will forever live on even in death.
Speaking at a vigil held by the party in honour of Rawlings, he noted that saying the former president will not die does not mean he’s be idolized, however, it meant his memories will forever linger on.
“It was said of Nkrumah that he will never die and his opponents mistook it to mean that he was been deified like Jesus Christ but all it meant was that his memory will live on. It is the same with Rawlings, his memory will live on, and he will never die. You’ll always come across his memory.
We’ve gathered here with our little candles and lighted them in memory of a great person who not only lived among us but inspired us, led us, fought for a better life for all Ghanaians, and fought for the ideals of social justice. Just as these little candles flicker even as the wind blows and the flames refuse to go off, so will the flame he lit in Ghana, never be extinguished. Great men come into our lives once in a lifetime and we can say that they never die,” he noted.
