Former President Jerry John Rawlings has withdrawn unpleasant comments he made about two of his successors – John Agyekum Kufuor and John Mahama.
The former Ghanaian leader who described Mr. Kufuor as “evil” and Mr. Mahama as a “rogue”, has apologised to the two statesmen, a statement issued by his Office, Monday, May 28, noted.
Mr. Rawlings had called the two ex-presidents corrupt while addressing chiefs and people of Mepe in the North Tongu Constituency in the Volta Region who had paid a courtesy call on him to officially invite him to the final funeral rites of Mamaga Awusi Sreku II, queen of the Mepe Traditional Area.

He said, “I know with my integrity when I die, I will go to heaven but when I see these corrupt leaders, I will ask permission from God and flog them.”
The former President has however retracted the comments.
“…The former President has taken due note of concerns raised over certain publications arising out of a meeting he held with a delegation of chiefs and elders from Mepe in the Volta Region last Tuesday.
