“It is true the late President was my friend, he liked me so much. I was in London when he (Rawlings) brought me home to join him build Ghana and since then the friendship was had been so deep that every Monday morning we were eating together and quarrelling as to which direction the country’s development should go,” Dr. Duffuor said.
