Rawlings to visit PV Obeng’s family Tuesday

Former President Jerry John Rawlings will call at the residence of the late Mr Paul Victor Obeng to express his condolences to the bereaved family.

Obeng served as the chairman of the Committee of Secretaries under Rawlings’ Provisional National Defence Council regime (PNDC) from 1982 to 1992.

Rawlings also appointed Obeng as Presidential Adviser on Governmental Affairs under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) from 1992 to 1997.

Obeng died Saturday from a medical condition.
Information gathered by Graphic Online indicated that he had what was suspected to be an asthmatic attack and was rushed to a hospital.

The reports indicated that he was driving towards his home at the Spintex area in Accra, when he had the attack.
