On the eleventh of December 2009, I received a sudden call from the NDC headquarters in Accra. They informed me that Mr Rawlings wanted to set a few things straight. I was therefore requested to attend this important interview, which was scheduled at the former president's ridge residence. To tell you all the truth, I have always held the former president in high respect. I consider him to be quite an extraordinary figure. I have studied his life with such great dedication that I have come to know him very well.
