Contrary to claims that he received $2 million which was used for a nationalistic project, emerging evidence indicate that that the former President of Ghana received $5 million.
Managing Editor of the Al Hajj Newspaper, Alhaji Bature Iddrisu on Tuesday June 6, 2017 disclosed that the founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Jerry John Rawlings received $5 million dollars from Nigerian military leader Sani Abacha, who served as head of state between 1993 and 1998.
“He confessed to me that the amount he received was $5 million dollars and not $2 million. He openly told me this and I dare tell him that he received stolen money from a thief. How much was he as head of State receiving at the time as salary that he could gift you such an amount? What work did Rawlings do for Abacha that he gifted him that amount?” he asked on Adom TV on Monday
He said the amount was the cause of the rift between he (Rawlings) and the former National Chairman of the party Dr Obed Asamoah leading to his breaking away from the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP).
“Rawlings is dishonest and corrupt. Corruption is not only about embezzling funds but being untruthful and not morally upright are all ingredients of corruption”, he said.

Rawlings collected $5M bribe from a dictator and now claiming he used it for nationalistic cause? Bribe is bribe no matter what it is used for whether good cause or bad one. What happened to his probity and accountability slogan? NDC guys are cr!m!nals deceiving their followers. John Mahama is worst he received a car as bribe from a contractor and gave the guy Ghana govt contracts.
Somehow I cannot visualise Jerry Rawlings confiding in a rat like Bature.This man is a pathological liar.He knows Rawlings cannot take him to court.Since when did he become a confidant of Jerry Rawlings?Jerry John may not be a perfect person[non of us is] but the kind of unbridled l00t1ng that went on under Mahama could never have happened under Jerry John.
deportee from that country enjoyed that money so in effect it was not a gift to JJ alone. Plse stop this type of attack lets deal with our economic woes and try to go into manufacturing. Politicians use our taxes creatively.
Heheheheheheeeee!!! Interesting times are coming. Kw333, this is what we called cine k3 kola chalk in our days in syto at La Bawaleshie now part of East Legon. Who Born Dog? Bature challenging Rawlings on corruption? Eii, NDC has started washing its 'BEAUTIFUL' linen in public. Now it is that Rawlings has confessed to Bature and the latter is daring the former? I thought it was only Kwaku Bako who used to tear Rawlings apart not knowing Ntoma kata Ni3ma so!!! Bature, tell us more. We are all ears. Some of us are enjoying the fact that the Chicken have come home to roost. I rest my case.... more anon!!!
JOHN MAHAMA IS PAYING BATURE TO DESTROY OUR GREAT PARTY. ITS SO SIMPLE. IF I JDM THE GREEDY AND CORRUPT POLITICIAN CANNOT CONTEST AGAIN THEN NDC SHOULD SCATTER AND SHOULD NO LONGER BE A FORCE TO RECKON WITH.
Mr Rawlings,If you are a man indeed, dare Alhaji Bature and see what will happen!
stupiiid man close your dirty mouth. you have been paid to destroy Rawlings and the NDC party. you always give false information. Hungry is killing you . ***barred word***
