As a United States Marine I respect you. JJ took advantage of our brain dead officers. I was in Kamina Barracks and Officers were disrespected 1979.
I think this is by far the best interview I’ve watched on AndyTv. You allowed this interviewee to flow without too many interruptions. His account also seem very factual as it is first hand information and they all seem to add up juxtaposed to other accounts on the June 4th I’ve heard.
I respect this officer!!
My perception of the military has changed after listening to Major Rida. He has told the Unvarnished truth. I am dumbfounded and nonplussed. This narration must be put into print and eventually, the perpetrators tried no matter the time in which it happened. We can always revisit the evil past and deal with its cleansing.
Andy, keep up the good work.
These are stories that must not only be told through interviews but must rather be properly documented and put into books. They must also be read and told or taught our young children in schools. On the question of whether Rawlings and his cohorts must face a trial or not, I think is long overdue. The good people of Ghana must be made to hear the FULL story with eye witnesses reports regarding what really on that horrible day and what really led to events of that day.
Please You need to interview Capt Rtd. Budu Koomson he has a story we need to hear!
Also Mr Kwaku Baako about the 'civilian' aspects of those events.
Kwaku can't be trusted again
All the innocent blood will be on him and his children children if they don't see any wrong doing for their atrocities
I wish the young ones learn and listen to history so they will not easily insults the old in regards to politics.
Why should a general leave his men to police station, for civil protection
Hmmmm the hatred of off Rawlins will not change anything in Ghana now but remember the peace you all enjoying today in your comfortable home giving useless interviews will not do anything. But bring bigger trouble. This happens every where in this world and some people never hard peace till now. Be thankful
You let us down with all this your talks!!!
Wanted to listen to proper dispassionate history; not biased, bitter and somewhat jealous "eye witness" account.
It is very late in the day hearing your account of what should have been. Members of the Ghana Army including the leadership of the account you are narrating, destroyed the country on both sides. Your guts told you at the time that the people in the uprising ”were” up to no good. But you were too steeped in your training you did not invoke an emergency state of thinking (the principles of necessity) to counter the actions of people who were on the verge of destroying the country and the Army. A little Dutch courage could have saved the country and the Army from the mess we are in. Yet I would not blame you because you could not foressee the effects of that day, as you were concerned with saving life.
The other downside outside your scope, was the down turn of the economy as a whole and the officer corps was seen as part of the problem and therefore lacked legitimacy and support.
The state of the economy was a driving force behind the stability or instability of a country with includiveness as part of the state of governance. This unfortunately has not been learnt by the Army, Police and the political class. Are there lessons to be learnt, considering the victors write the history even if they surround their actions with Transitional Providions in the Constitution.
I appreciate the job you're doing but why do you only interview those who are anti-Rawlings? I am no Rawlings supporter but it will do your credibility a lot of good if you interview people who are still on Rawlings' side as well. I thought journalism should be objective reportage
There’s an interview with Boakye Gyan,go and watch it and stop barking
Now he is a very rich man . he and his wife. JJ is a corn man .
From 1979 to date Ghana has never been the same and those of us who saw this evil acts by JJ lawrence Boakye Djan and Kwamena Ahwoi ,Kwesi Ahwoi ,Atto Ahwois and others Tsikatas and all Ghana has never been the same and will never been the same because the wrath of God ls upon Ghana and all who support and celebrate this evil acts .
Even though am a Police Officer I would have love to work with u.Such an intelligent officer. I love u major.God bless u. Your calm nature and your command over the English language.Surprisingly Rawlings speaks good English but couldn't write.
My second question is that . How was the country then . Was the country at peace? Were ordinary Ghanaians okey? What was the atmosphere then. Let ask , when the country was dough things were so hard , the leaders n so called top officers were they also suffering like ordinary Ghanaian men n women of course not . They were enjoying the money and luxuries. Do they know how to go to bed with an empty stomach ?And now what. They should blame themselves. cos maybe they never thought Rawlings will get back at them.
Don't worry maj. Rida they are all suffering quietly.
By Rida's own account, the officers of the Ghana Armend Forces had completely failed if junior officers could organise such a successful mutiny against them. The officers had lost control of the forces the nation had placed in their charge. Whether Rawlings and his revolutionaries were right or wrong is a different matter but for juniors to override their seniors like that, the seniors had been terribly incompetent.
It wasn't about incompetence. Remember Rawlings himself was an officer, and for an officer to betray his own people to the junior officers is what brought about the completion of the mutiny. Also note that junior officers and soldiers are always more than senior officers and they only succeeded because there was an Army Commander in the person of Major Gen. Wellington who wouldn't want bloodshed, else, that mutiny would've been stopped. So in effect, I dare to say that it wasn't a failure on the part of the senior officers, but because they wanted to settle it amicably and the fact that Rawlings had conned the junior officers and other soldiers
@biggereveryday247 l am not Ghanaian, while studying in Paris at the time, l was invited by my first girlfriend, a Ghanaian by birth to spend my 18 years birthday with her parents in Accra. We flew to Abidjan, and a day later to Accra. I can't begin to tell you sir, the shocked and disappointment to see Ghana for the first time. Without justifying the atrocities during the AFRC time, the Ghanaian army was in shambles and the country economy was in a such disarray, that the parents of my girlfriend couldn't even find the basic necessity to make me a small cake. We could not even find a toothpaste in Accra until late night where we were taking into a dark home to see one lady who was selling toothpaste. For a Guinean by birth, it was really sad to see that in the back star of Africa.
@biggereveryday247 l beg to disagree. Ghana army, specially the seniors officers were completely discredited at that time. I was in Accra with my first girlfriend, a Ghanaian by birth who still works at the UNESCO in Paris. I was invited there to meet her parents to celebrate my 18 birthday. The place was a pathetic mess. BTW, an officer like JJ loyalty is to the country not to his fellow officers. Major with all due respect to this late brilliant officer should have disclosed during this interview his family ties with the late General FW Akuffo. For me as a Guinean who was a visitor in Accra in summer 1978, today Ghana is way different from that depressing summer in the black star of Africa. La manière est peut-être regrettable, mais le Ghana se dirigeais vers un gouffre politique et économique à cette époque. Something has to give sadly.
Major do you remember Lance Corporal Hamed Kalifa ? He was also killed together with General Odartey Wellington.
Wellngton diied like a dog. Did he imagine war was a game or a coup a football match?
Unbelieva ble.
The CDS in June 1979 was Lt Gen Joshua Hamidu. Rida was a fine soldier by all standards. The uprising was not an event but rather a rebellion exercise in the form of Turmoil. Therefore its account is varied based upon location and series of events. Therefore we need to investigate, interrogate, and collate these stories very well so that we can understand what really happened. It's very very interesting and equally important to put all the various events in the right context and tell same. Thanks
Major Rida was the intermediary between Fred Akuffo and Rawlings. He's covering his tracks. They wanted Rawlings to knock out IK Acheampong for them. And when he decided that he was not interested in their parochial interests, they saw him as a loose end, which is why when he attempted May 15th to force them to fess up to their failings and bring stability back to the armed forces, they decided to use him as a scapegoat and execute him. Once this became known, the soldiers who were moved by his testimony, decided to turn on the regime.
Rawlings did not in any way or form lead the revolutionary forces. That was a spontaneous action, and they didnt even have radio communication or a central command. So all Maj. Rida is doing is stirring up sentiment and ignoring the oversight his SMC II government had to respond correctly to the concerns of the average soldier.
Let's not forget the economy was in free fall. Both the hunger, the anger and the disrespect from the commanders led to the revolt.
If a commander cannot see that, and instead focuses on personality politics, they clearly are not qualified to lead men.
Hi w 🙏🙏 what was 4 🙏 what\
@@villageradio3907 Brilliant observation and summation, I have always believed that Maj. Rida is being sanctimonious in protection of parochial interests.
Is there a part three? The ending of this part two suggests so. All these Bantus criticizing Rawlings are mostly emoting over lost glory; they have said nothing substantial against Rawlings. Yes, his era was not perfect but he did lots of great things. As I indicated in part 1, I still can't understand how a lowly Flt. Lieutenant could take over the government of Ghana from death row (the first time) and from retirement (the second time). Had Ghana a real military, in the first place, for such an abnormality to have occurred? How could have Ghanaian Generals, Brigadiers, Colonels, and Majors be saluting a lowly Flt. Lieutenant for over two decades as their C-in-C? These disgruntled and defeated officers should go and rest, instead of reviving this matter which brings shame and disgrace to their leadership. This Major Rida was senior to Rawlings, yet he had no initiative of his own to put up a defense of his fatherland. Everything he described here occurred in a state of emergency, were he a thoughtful officer he would have arrested that Brigadier who refused to sign off on procuring ammunition to his men -- he could do so in an emergency, as was the case, but he was instead obeying senseless instruction from a run away General Wellington. Talk about cowardice, abeg make these people go siddon ojare! Kudos to the host for his excellent probing and skepticism of this man's incredible story.
Zaramoku ...I think Rawlings got this far because of his looks. You know how Ghanaians glamour towards fair coloured people. Everyone wants to be his friend. He wouldn’t have got this far if he was dark skinned
@@3sr3mugyata40 Excellent point, I have thought so periodically.
well said
@@Zaramoku was not doctor Nkrumah a dark skin. Je ne comprends pas cette folie par rapport à la couleur de la peau de JJ Rawlings.
@@youssefcamara3916 I marveled at how a lowly Flt. Lt. could take over the headship of the government of Ghana twice, from (a) the death row; and (b) retirement. Someone suggested that his being half white must have made Ghanaians defer to him since Ghanaians habitually consider obroni superior to regular Africans. I thought that explanation has some validity; that's how JJ's skin color came into it. If you disagree, state why.
I am highly moved by what this genuine former military officer.
I am not a Ghanian, a Nigeria in USA. I listened to this interview. This major is a disciplined soldier with difference. His demeanor is rare and infectious. I salute you sir.
Pastor Chuka Nwankwo.
God bless you Pastor
Revolution..........and Rawlings ends up sending his children to expensive private schools in the UK. Their suffering has not began
What suffering? The man is 73years old, and this happened over 40years ago...
@@milesquash8979 What about his kids and grandkids? Sometimes the curses and sufferings doesn't come on you but your descendants. For eg. Ham in the Bible...
What suffering are you babbling about? That revolution was sanctioned by God Himself. Have you considered he was to be executed the following day but God sent soldiers to rescue him?. Ghana is what it's today because of Rawlings, Boakye Djan, and other ranks...salute and thank them instead of maligning them...
@@milesquash8979 God forgive you for talking this trash. If your father had been shot leading to your education being truncated and thus your whole life messed up, you wouldn't be here talking this trash.
Judas betrayed Jesus because God allowed it. Does that give Judas the right to a reward and praises.
Think about it.
The worse aspect of the whole thing is that Rawlings and his goons gave themselves amnesty over the same crimes that he shot others for. And you are here supporting this nonsense.
Continue to display your ignorance about how God judges. When you finally leave this earth to meet God then you tell Him that he asked Rawlings to kill people who were clearly innocent.
@@emikinc The trash talk is just what you have exhibited. Talking trash is not what comes from intellectually sound people than any trash from the trash bin.
Ask yourself the many Ghanaians whose education has been truncated and their whole lives destroyed forever, due to the massive levels of corruption during SMC1 and SMC 11. Have you considered that or you only interested in playing to the emotions of those few affected. Do you think you are more intelligent than the masses who supported Rawlings and his men those days? I don't think so...
I think the officer has a point. The past sometimes has to be revisited.
But Rawlings is qualified army officers, he position the Ghana army better than your so-called officers. Lazy army officers under Achempong days
I really appreciate this interview. Very informative.
I'm Kenyan but has been following Ghana politics. I look at Rawlings as a murderer. He should have apologised to the nation. Now he will meet the innocent he executed.
How?
I offer credit for Andy this time
Mr Rida I love to hear you more. Am still grieving over the death of the innocent GENERALS.
Innocent generals?
@@villageradio3907 never mind them! These were two sides shooting at each other. One side won and case closed.
Andy posed the most crucial question in this whole interview to Rida who admitted that discipline had broken down. If there was no discipline, and Rida and his company were being refused ammunition to those who were presumably fighting to restore discipline, why were they not prepared to force Brigadier Amoah to go and open BAD for them to get their ammunition. To complain now about the man quivering in his chair is unimportant. Rida was not serious about fighting, really fighting for what he claimed he wanted to restore to the army.
Sir I cannot like this show not because I do not like what here. But it is so sad. Ooww. He and this follower wants to celebrate June 4th.
The coward was Brigadier Amoah!!! A shameless coward indeed!!!!
Please Major Rida, Rawlings came to empower the youths, exposed corruptions of the top tankers and disorganised hidden atrocities within the society of Ghana. So shut up for not helping to do anything for your nation. Rawlings wasn't a saint, but he tried his best to save a very very bad situations in his time and we the poor at his time will always give him thumbs up!!!!!!
Who ended up wealthy in the name of cleaning? You or the Rawlings family?
He made his followers and uneducated and lazy.
I have always wondered why deviants n uneducated people are largely his followers and the Ndc at large.
Guess what it’s easier to manipulate a fool.
How could a low officer overpower the entire military generals of the country. Everyone is playing innocent and blaming Rawlings. This man is just another liar
There are so many invent that took place till today why do you power it in Rawlings only Andy?Rawlins is such a good man who fight for equality!! These people did not respect humanity Rawlings was a victim and fought his place!maybe you don't understand when you are looking down upon
JJ ROWLINGS HIS IS MASS.BACK THAN. Tell US ABOUT IT. YET SOME PEOPLE SAYING THEY JEALOUS ABOUT THIS RADICAL MAN JJ ROWLINGS.
Killing those that help him to stay alive.
With all due respect, it was a failure of leadership that led to this situation. The SMC could not keep central control of the military and country. This was the natural consequence. Even the lack of control during the fighting is a sign of poor leadership and coordination.
Rawlings, Tsikata and Obeng kept a strong hold of affairs and steered Ghana to the end of the Cold War. Busia and the SMCs failed on all fronts. The atrocities were unfortunate. But they should have met their leadership obligations better!
The junior ranks were fed up with those SMC 1 and SMC 2...period
Most people join the army as just another job but not to defend anyone and anything
Wish to hv more of this interview. I now know my trace as Gahanaian. Thanks Majo Rida. These wicked souls will perish no matter the years they will hv on earth.
Have those slave owners and gun owners who did EVIL to our ancestors perish yet?
OUR TRAITORS ARE MORE WORSE THAN OUR ENEMIES.
BY JJ RAWLINS.
EVIL FORCES IN HIGHER PLACES INDEED. As my Dad always put it. "There's more to Gyato's Power Grasp to the naked eyes than it seems but, who am l to say anything" My DADDY, may he rest in peace New More. Thanks Mr. Rida.
Hmmmm. Very sad. Very very sad. Such wickedness at that time.😟
Father , l don't like you , l love you , what a discipline soldier you are. May Nature continue to protect you.
What I don’t understand is he keep saying Rawlings didn’t planned June 4 and has no idea about it but blame every killing on him. Is that not envy too
I disagree with you, Rida the same way Ghana was at the time is just Akufo Ado is doing now Rawlings did was right for Ghana
Politics is a dirty game, people are killed because of differences, greed, corruption and evil 😈 actions
some of this valians should be brought to un court of justice,crime has no expire date
It was a failed army because if you have gone to base ammunition depot you would have been all dead because the place was already occupied
U didnt fight but ur Ammo run down ,Sir u are laying i can boldly tell
This gentleman speaks absolute truth
He absolutely does not.
@@villageradio3907 tell us the truth then.
This is all about grievance. Read about the American and the French revolutions. What does he think happened? Mayhem and death...
Those who believe in retribution for Rawlings and his generation must be kidding themselves. NOTHING evil will come near him unless the entire country is thrown into chaos and complete annihilation. Study revolutions and the modern revolutions. Jesus revolted against the status quo of his day and now being worshipped. The French revolution wiped out all those lazy royalties who felt they had a God given right to pick winners and losers. France is a better place today because of the revolution. America is where it's today because of the revolution and the civil war also ended slavery. Ghana is a better place today than it would have been if left to the whims and caprices of SMC1 and 11...
The brigadier commander was a coward
I agree with u
You were buying cars just from school and you call others envious
Major Rida the upright and most perfect officer, it's always easy to point the finger.
Little education please who was the head of state at the time?
Even during war time between nations commanding officers are not killed or shot at.
He is telling the truth nothing but the truth. They must listen to him and make him to lead the nation to undo what has been done.
Major Rida is very discipline soldier. Rawlings is really a Devil
Back in time.....L/cpl. (Rtd.
Poor leadership led The NCOs to take Ghana Military down.
For NCOs to take over millitary leadership means the Officers Cops were really weak indeed..
LET'S BE SINCERE, THIS WHOLE THING WAS BETWEEN THE JUNIOR OFFICERS AND THE SENIOR OFFICERS , NCO's WERE JUST ACTING ON LAWFUL COMMANDS
REST IN PEACE .....
MAJOR RIDA AN OFFICER & GENTLEMAN
Rida as in the man in this video is dead?
@@nank2694
Yes he pass December 4 2020
Its cook not a soldier?? Boss
Do you remember what happened in Liberia? Keep joking...
Are they also fighting about black diamonds?
He talks like those men who were enjoying the wealth of a corrupt system at the time. Ghana was the second poorest Nation in the World. Second to Haiti and he's talking about how Rawlings was envy as though the senior rank officers had some special treatment and money while ordinary Ghanaians were suffering.
Bussia was giving out golf to women and these officers weren't experiencing the sufferings of the ordinary people. If the people we treated right, why would anyone be envious of another?
The revolution was a much needed one. Today in Nigeria, the ordinary citizens are being killed by police officers, killed in other African countries all in the name of survival. And there are governors, politicians and military officers spending millions on lavish lifestyle and trips. And you think an uprising is an insubordination? Old man.. please don't even get me started. If Rawlings wasn't an officer material, its because people like you saw him as such and thats why the whole world knows who Rawlings is and nobody knows you. Think about that.
Major you're 100 per cent rite
We can't continue talking about these we need to art about it
Great officer
Mjor Rida become emotional about Major General Odartey-Willington. Major Odartey was indeed a brave, intelligent and a great Leader with example.
There is a lot of truth in what Major Rida said. Honestly , it is sad . May Maj.General Odartey wellington rest in peace.
No murderer will never live forever!
Poor Limann. God keep his soul forever
Talk is cheap ampa
You all had the chance to get rid of Rawlings but you didn't because of cowardice. Adabuga, Boakye Gyan, Awuni and You(Rida) are all cowards. They all feared Rawlings. Rawlings was indeed a soldier that is why he is now a hero to most Ghanaians. He didn't fear death and that is the number one trait of a soldier.
As a soldier you are not even ashamed to say you surrendered.
DRAWING NIMDE3
Your Comments is one of the best I read on this platform....he major RIDA and the rest of Officer's were all Cowardly PUNKS
According to him RAWLINGS wasn't Officer material yet he outsmarted
All of them 😂😂 these men are going to be bitter for the rest of their life.....
As you said real Soldiers don't fear DEATH .
When Rawlings was in power where were you!!!!answer...
Zakaria Allah
Allah bless your wisdom. Shameless man
Exactly. A true officer will stand for it principle even that mean death. You don’t wait until Rawlings is out of power before you start rambling.
Zakaria Allah, we call something Post Traumatic Stress Disorder( PTSD). Is a psychological disorder people acquire after experiencing horror or witnessing them such as war, combat Training, accident or rape.
When people get such shocking experience like what this Major went through, it takes them longer time to come out to speak, others may not even want to talk about it all, and in extreme cases they can commit suicide to escape the memory of that horrible experience.
PTSD is very common among soldiers.
What Maj Rida and other Officers experienced or witnessed on June 4th might have affected them psychologically and emotionally.
The CPT who drove Connel Acheampong and another Gen to the firing squad just came out to speak that he has to undergo psychological counseling for 2yrs to recover from the mental problems he was going through, all because he was the last person to see those officers alive and saw them executed.
They went through horror and needed sometime to heal themselves.
When the foolish keeps his tongue, he may be considered wise.... There x a time to talk, time to fight, time to survive, time to remain silent...
This x common sense.....
De governor (USA)
People are just saying this and that.
Know very well the then officers most were with the ruling government and we're enjoying the goodies and amassing wealth.
They destroyed what osaagyefo was building.
The industrialization came to a halt after the overthrow of osaagyefo by the UP party.
They used the Military officers with help of the CIA.
Seriously if you think rawlings should apologize, then akuffo addo and some elements that are living today as a result of their fathers bombing and finally overthrowing osaagyefo should be not be made to rule this country at all.
The kotoka, ankrah, etc and the UP are the ones to blame for everything not the one that made sure that all coups came to a halt and Ghana had to return to democracy.
Why do you think they're trying to erase nkrumah from the history of Ghana?
The atrocities they committed against him and Ghana as a country.
The traitors to Ghana are the UP, NPP and the senior officers that were amassing wealth at the detriment of the nation.
Wicked people.
This interview goes to confirmed the position of one of the Ghanian high ranking officer that Ghana almost lost a national army during the Rawlings era.
Great education
Ghanaians must please read history. Stop idolising dictators. Jealousy and greed caused us this trouble.
That son of bitch, Kataku should be charge with murder.
An Ace fighter Pilot was not an Officer material? Very interesting.there is mutiny and A General was not armed,how is he gonna protect him self.they were jealous just like you are now
Henry.....do you know the true meaning of An Ace fighter pilot it's definition....Men who see real Air battle maybe u should Google what's a true Ace fighter pilot is...
Men who has more than 5 kill during Arial battle ...JJ hasn't see any combat for him to get that title real Arial fighting to be class as an Ace fighter pilot....
National day of forgiveness is needed. We need leadership for this forgiveness.
COSMICMOTHER OF UNIVERSE doesn't like UGLY.
Whatever this man has said should be acted upon. Without mercy.
This is first hand witness. He knew Rawlings and Boakye Gyan personally. They were all young officers who rose up in rank together. Unfortunately for Rawlings he couldn't rise because of his bad behaviour and insubordination and also most importantly he couldn't pass his promotional exams.
Apart from what Major Ibrahim Rida is saying... Corporal Adabuga, Nana Adomako Nyamekye, Captain Awuni & even Kweku Baako have similar testimonies.
C'mon did they meet and plan on what to say?
Let's be serious!
They all have collaborating testimonies.
There must be some truth in their testimony.
And you know the funny part?
Rawlings and Boakye Gyan's accounts do not match up.
You don't even know who's telling the truth.
Even Kweku Baako has confirmed that Rawlings' testimonies do not line up
And he's lying.
I mean Acheampong & Akuffo were preparing to hand over to civilian government so why 4th June, 1979?
And Hilla Limann was constitutionally sworn in as President so why 31st December, 1981?
He's not seen anything yet!
Jerry Rawlings John
Or whatever his name is
Hmmm
Stop kidding yourself. Rawlings is a HERO, Whether he is capable of passing his exams in the military or NOT. The guy was a commissioned officer of the Ghana Armed forces. John McCain was a national Hero in America, yet couldn't pass his military exams, and became a senator after being taken as prisoner of war...what is this with education that has no practical use? Wake up, fellow Ghanaians...
@@milesquash8979 The commission that made him an officer is the same commission that put in place the exams.
Stop talking like a child...
John McCain became a Senator because he was voted for, not through a coup d'etat...
Make sound analysis!
@@Anas.Fiifi-Odoom still kidding yourself. Again Rawlings was a commissioned officer, who was backed by Ghanaians during June 4. Are you aware he was about to be executed, when other soldiers went in to set him free. Some people just complain about events. Others create events. Rawlings is a doer, not a complainer...
@@Anas.Fiifi-Odoom John McCain was voted for as a senator by a state in the United States. Rawlings was voted for as President of the 4th Republic of Ghana. Both men were voted for, and are national heroes in their respective countries, whether you like it or not. These men are movers and shakers, not mere complainants and commentators...
@@Anas.Fiifi-Odoom you also need to brush up on your history...Acheampong and Akuffo had no intention or plan of handing over to any civilian government. To your information, there was an internal coup that kicked out Acheampong and brought in Akuffo. That was the state of affairs at the time...Ghana was sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss...Ghanaians were in expectation of an uprising or some form of "house cleaning". They sought anyone, including that lamentator major. No one had the cajones to do anything, till Rawlings came on to the scene. The response was spontaneous...
RIP Maj
Rawlings I am disappointed I thought you were representative of high moral standard even thought you was a hero I am shocked after watching this program which I can tell is very truthful and informative
Why is this guy so bitter?.....
Don't think Rawlings is old and he can't do more than he done
Respect to the old major
Real soldier not political.
i respect
The narration sounds credible
Rawlings is a beast.
Listen Mr, no sinor offer or major or kennels, lefttenels are above the low. Just understand. 👨✈️👮♀️👩✈️
truth is bitter,but its the truth
Was Rawlings so powerful than the top officers in the army? I don’t think Rawlings to be blame a lone. After listening to this officer , the top officials were also part of Rawlings revolution. They just used Rawlings as their cover. If second officer in command could refuse to sign for more weapons, trust me, they are all parts. They should leave Rawlings alone. Rawlings couldn’t achieve his goals if this so called top officials were not involved.
You can say what you like because you never suffered what some suffered under this arm robbers in uniform, what came out of it has corruption left Ghana, those who were to save the country showed they were cowards and for the position they occupied they betrayed
