Waaaa look! Jerry Rawlings drove away, killed or, at best, imprisoned too many people.

A more corrupt person than de Graft Johnson must be big evil. The guy, with a few friends of Limann's administration, snatched power from the president and reintroduced a much fiery corruption regime than existed before the handover! We were there and saw it. Limann was a good man, but like in Ghana, was surrounded by selfish and narcissistic politicians.
That guy was the architect of Jerry's secret arrest and confinement in Aburi. Limann was furious when he heard it and asked for his immediate release. Have you heard this before?

They hounded Captain Kojo Tsikata several times until they got him involved in an intentional accident on the Motorway. Jerry himself before the arrest, was tailed 24/7 by the military police. One day, he came to collect his letters from the Continental Hotel and pointed to the MP who were on him.

Don’t worry. That is how the Fante people give names. Fante people are Akans but their names are usually Anglicized but sometimes weird. How can SWAN be the name of a typical Ghanaian? Anyway, my wife is a Fante and she and the parents have some crazy Anglicized names that typical Asante and Akyem people cannot pronounce, let alone spell them. But for her beauty, I married her.

How many times will Ghanaweb post this article? Anyway he is the only Vice President of the 3rd Republic since Liman’s Government did not last the full term. There was only one government in the 3rd Republic

PFP stalwarts supported the coup until the judges case came up. But for Amartey Kwei's stupidity, more would have joined Rawlings' PNDC. That's when they started distancing themselves from Rawlings.
