What Gooduck Jonathan said about Jerry John Rawlings’ death

Former Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan has extended his deepest condolences to the Government and people of the Republic of Ghana over the passing on of former President Jerry John Rawlings.

Jonathan said as Ghana’s leader under different dispensations, the deceased acquitted himself as a soldier of the masses and crusader for social justice.

He wrote in a tribute to the ex-military boss thus, “President Rawlings was a courageous statesman and great Pan-Africanist with strong views and drive for Africa’s renaissance and growth. He died at a time the continent needed his wisdom and experience to deal with challenging socio-political issues. May God Almighty grant his soul eternal rest.”
