Rawlings praises youth for
determination to vote
Accra, Aug. 13, Ghanadot/GNA –
Former President Jerry John Rawlings on Wednesday commended
the youth for “showing a true spirit of determination
required to accomplish the change to achieve true social and
economic justice”.
In a statement from his office signed by Dr K. Caesar, the
former president said the youth showed this spirit despite
“deliberate and calculated attempts” to frustrate them.
“Despite the challenges of having to stay in long queues for
days or hours on end with little or no food, and enduring
the intimidation and deliberate obstacles placed in your
way, you have shown the strength of determination needed to
bring about true social and economic justice in this country
and the suffering people of this country,” former President
Rawlings said.
“The suffering people of this country salute you and
encourage you to stay strong and bold for the fight ahead,”
he added.
