“The day I came to him, he told me he is praying I win and when I win and he dies, I should make sure where vice President Amissah Arthur ,President Evans Atta Mills and other statesmen were buried he should not be buried there, somewhere different should be found for him to be buried”.He said
“He told me as I was laughing that if I do not know and I should win and he dies and I bury him where statesmen were buried, he will knock at my door whilst I am asleep at night and rush on me… So I think if all Ghanaians will listen to me, the body of late Rawlings should be sent to his hometown for a befitting burial. I will prefer that….but Rawlings did not disclose the exact place he should be buried”.He added.
