A 52-year-old woman who claims to be called Abigail Rawlings has said that she is the daughter of late former president of Ghana Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings.
In a new video sighted on YouTube, the mature woman spoke passionately about her being the child of the late former president of Ghana.
According to her, the mother is a Togolese who has passed away but before her death, told her daughter that Rawlings was her father.
Madam Abigail Rawlings added that many of former president Rawlings's maternal relatives in their hometown know her and have accepted her into the family.
She however added that for the past 20 years, she has been trying to connect with the other children of the former president but she has always ended up hitting a snag.
The woman who was seen wearing funeral clothes in line with mourning her supposed father even went on to show some ID cards which bore her name with the surname reading "Rawlings".
Madam Abigail Rawlings said she was not coming out for any form of popularity but only wanted the other children of the late former president to recognise her as their sister.
She added that she was ever ready to undergo a DNA test to put the matter to rest and prove that indeed she was the daughter of the former president.
