He said that Rawlings is just like an empty barrel who goes around running his mouth just like the US former President, Donald Trump.
In a post he made on Facebook, Sekou Nkrumah that Rawlings betrayed the idea of t he June 4, 1979, coup after he staged the December 31, 1981, coup that overthrew the government of Dr. Hilla Limman.
“Let’s throw away the Ghanaian legendary hypocrisy and talk plain. The man was a very wicked man, and he was not a nice guy! Handsome yes, in his younger days. Charismatic? Sure, he was, and he could run his mouth like all the other empty barrels, including Trump!”, the post reads.
“He betrayed June 4 when he staged the Libyan sponsored 1981 coup, and he messed up on the revolutionary stage! After criticizing the IMF and World Bank he made a U-turn and embraced them, and in the process exposed his lack of socialist credentials,” he further said.
“JJ was also a violent, bloodthirsty man”, he described the military leader.
As a reminder, the Founder of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) became the leader of the country from 1979 to 2001. After he led the military junta in 1992, Rawlings became an elected President of Ghana.
