One of the children of the late President, Dr. Hilla Limann, has revealed that there is an intention by one of them to take over the affairs of the party.
Lida Limann, one of the daughters of the late President indicated the possibility of one of them contesting the flagbearership position of the People’s National Convention (PNC) is very high.
Lida who was speaking on GhOne TV's ‘The Lounge' with Kwaku Sakyi-Addo said the current state of the PNC is a contrast of their late father's vision hence their decision to take over the party founded by their father.
“We know the mantle will fall on one of us soon because our father put in a lot into the party and the vision he had for the party is not what we are seeing today. We all know that one of us would have to step up,” She said
On Tuesday, January 23, 2018, there will be a commemoration to mark the 20th anniversary of his death and according to his children, the person who will step up to redeem and revive the PNC may be introduced.
“The launch of the Foundation and the celebration on Tuesday is actually to remind people, to remind Ghanaians of him because his name seems to be disappearing but he did so much in a very short time and he had a lot of vision for the country so maybe to bring the vision to life through the Foundation, we will probably introduce the next family member who is going to take over the mantle,” Lida Limann said.
Dr. Limann became the President of Ghana in 1979 but was overthrown through a coup in 1981 by Flight-Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, leader of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC). This makes him the only President in Ghana’s Third Republic.
