“President Rawlings was the longest-serving head of state since our nation’s independence in 1957, and while we didn’t always agree on many issues with the state, I felt like he was trying to do the best he knew and could. , in its peculiar circumstances.
“When it came time for him to resign as president on January 7, 2001, he accepted and obviously tried to contain the reservations he had about me and my government that succeeded him and his government, within the limits of the national constitution of 1992.
“In this sense, if doubts persisted about his commitment to democratic government, it was attenuated and earned him a legacy of contributing to the maintenance of democratic governance in our country until his disappearance. History would give it a balanced place in the annals of our nation. “
