The rumoured second wife of the late Jerry Rawlings indicated that the founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ''was larger than life'', stressing that he fought to return power to the people.
''He was larger than life. May he rest in power and watch over us as we keep his legacy alive: the sacralisation of justice, freedom, accountability and patriotism, and the fight to desanctify power and send it back to where it belongs: to the people.''
Yamb trumpeted that the late Ghanaian president was a reflection of true leadership worth emulating.
''If we want to teach African children about leadership, then we only need to show them the picture and tell them the story of Jeremiah John Rawlings.''
