The leadership and members of Progressive Intellectuals (PI) have expressed shock over the sudden departure of the leader and Founder of the NDC Jerry John Rawlings on Thursday the 12th of November 2020.
In a statement issued by the president, Professor Steven Kendie of the University of Cape Coast on behalf of PI, the group extended its condolences to the bereaved family and the NDC in these trying times.
The statement noted that former President Rawlings stood for all the ideals of social democracy upon which he founded the NDC.
It continued that the former President regrettably passed on at a time when progressive minded persons are organising to resist oppressors’ rule in Ghana and his leadership to provide a voice for the marginalised.
