Former UN Governance Advisor Baffuor Agyemang-Duah has assured the children of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings and former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings that Ghana will never forget the legacy of their parents.
Speaking in tribute to the late first lady on JoyNews’ The Pulse following the demise of the former first lady on Thursday, Mr Agyemang-Duah encouraged the Rawlings family to remain strong and to continue upholding the values their parents stood for.
“They should take heart and just know that the nation will not forget their parents, and I mean that. I will also add ‘for better or for worse’ because I know the controversies surrounding them. Nonetheless, they all deserved their praise in the history of the country.”
He urged them to do whatever they can to preserve the remarkable legacy of leadership, service, and patriotism their parents left behind.
He noted that both the late President Rawlings and Nana Konadu played transformative roles in shaping Ghana’s political and social history, adding that they should do whatever they can to honour their late mother.
In November 2020, former President Jerry John Rawlings died at 73. The two had four children together. They are Zanetor, Yaa Asantewaa, Amina and Kimathi.
