Jerry John Rawlings, in his own words- BBC Africa

Ghana's longest-serving leader, former flight lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, who died on 12 November 2020, had an enduring legacy as 'the man of the people'.

He twice seized power in Ghana but returned the country to democratic control.

Through decades of speeches and interviews, this is how he spoke of his vision for Ghana and for Africa.
