Former President Jerry John Rawlings has stated that, the  late  Dr. Kwabena Adjei, the former Chairman of the National Democratic Congress  (NDC) was sad and disappointed over many things regarding the major opposition party.

Speaking at the family house of the former Chairman at Agbogba on Monday March 18, Mr Rawlings said, “Adjei was disappointed in terms of our own weaknesses as a party. He was disappointed about the politics of our party and the fact that it had been monetized and held hostage. He was hurt about the loss of the value systems of the party”.

He described  Mr Adjei as a man who stood for his conviction adding that he was not materialistic.

He added that, the former Chairman fought for what he believed in, urging the family to stay strong in this difficult moments of their lives.

He further stated that he hopes that the children of Dr Adjei will also carry the trait of the fighting spirit of the former Chairman of the NDC.

The late Dr. Adjei served as party chairman from 2005 to 2014. Prior to that he had a rich political history, serving in several capacities under the PNDC and NDC governments.

Speaking at the gathering, an associate of the former President and good friend of Dr. Adjei, Dr. Anthony Dzegede, who knew Dr. Adjei from his Nigeria days said as a thinker and a philosopher, it was only natural that Dr. Adjei became a politician.

Dr. Dzegede described the late Adjei as a genius with brilliant ideas, witty and full of humourous insinuations.
