Former President, Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings has praised the late National Democratic Congress (NDC) Matriarch, Regina Akua Wenyonu for her respect for values and dedication to principles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must always pay our respects to such people. If we have to worship anything it should be righteousness because it is closest to God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The former President was speaking during a call on him by the family of the late Wenyonu at his office in Accra.<\/p>\n
Flt Lt Rawlings said with the sense of dedication and commitment that the deceased had for the party it was unfortunate that the NDC should be where it is today.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important ingredient for progress, justice, has still not been done. If we do not seize the moral high ground we will be in danger,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n
Spokesperson for Flt. Lt Rawlings, Mr Kofi Adams who welcomed the delegation said news of Regina Wenyonu\u2019s death was received with sadness.<\/p>\n
He said the deceased had the spirit of the NDC in her and she lived it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer spirit should influence us to rededicate ourselves,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Minister of Tourism and Member of Parliament for North Dayi, Ms Akua Sena Dansua who led the delegation alongside Togbe Amega-Goh, Dufia of Kpando Konda, said the party had lost a great pillar.<\/p>\n
The late Regina Wenyonu will be buried on Saturday March 5 in Kpando in the Volta Region.<\/p>\n
The former President also received the family of the late Kwame Sanaa-Poku Jantuah, a stalwart of the Convention Peoples Party and Minister in the Nkrumah Cabinet, and former Ambassador to Brazil and the defunct Democratic Republic of Germany.<\/p>\n
Flt Lt Rawlings said he respected the late Jantuah because he refused to take a subordinate position and always held his ground.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople like him helped to protect one from sliding. He was not corrupted by power and lived what he believed in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, President of the 31st December Women\u2019s Movement and former First Lady and Mr Adams took turns to commiserate with the deceased\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
Kwame Jantuah will be buried on March 26.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
