Renowned
spiritualist, Nana Kwaku Bosom, has cautioned President Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo to abide by the words of the late former President Jerry John
Rawlings and not name any state property after him.
According to
him, if President Akufo-Addo fails to go by Mr Rawlings’ words, serious
calamity will befall the State.
His comment
comes on the back of President Akufo-Addo’s suggestion that University for
Development Studies (UDS) should be named after Mr Rawlings.
It will be
recalled that a proposed bill was drafted to be taken to Parliament with plans
to re-name four universities after eminent Ghanaian personalities, including
the naming of the University for Development Studies (UDS) after Mr Rawlings.
When the
proposal for the naming of the UDS was first brought to the former President’s
attention by the Education Minister in 2017, he thanked the President and the
government for the honour, but politely declined the offer because he had a
long-standing principle not to have national monuments and facilities named
after him.
The renowned
spiritualist, thus, says if Mr Rawlings did not like it when he was alive, then
it should be left as it is..
He added that
failure of the government to heed to Mr Rawlings’ decision will spell doom for
the country.
