\u2018When people feel threatened by your level of integrity and your refusal to compromise, they cook all sought of evil realities to make you look bad but it\u2019s too late for them as truth always prevails and I\u2019m too old now to compromise my standards\u2019.<\/p>\n
These are the exact words of former President Jerry John Rawlings when he was addressing the student body of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in its yearly \u2018TekTalk\u2019 program which he was the guest speaker on Saturday, October 13, 2018, MyNewsGh.com has filed.<\/p>\n
The former president exuded that, some vested interest in the Ghanaian politics who feel threatened by his uncompromising nature and solid integrity have started the \u2018nonsense\u2019 of rehashing and recooking history to make innocent people look murderous just so they can silent the likes of him but it won\u2019t work as it didn\u2019t work in time past.<\/p>\n
\u2018One former president who came after me went bragging that he has done in six months what I couldn\u2019t do in nineteen years and you know what I said after hearing this wish-wash\u2026I said, it\u2019s true because he did what I wouldn\u2019t do even in a century.<\/p>\n
These are evil people, your refusal to compromise naturally threatens them as it gets them out of office and they will do anything to wipe you out but look at me, if they couldn\u2019t break me then, you think it is now that they can?\u2019. He asked the students as MyNews covered.<\/p>\n
The former president who ruled Ghana for almost two decades further threw a challenge to the people behind the image-tarnishing to come for a \u2018one on one\u2019 polygraph test and see who stands out.<\/p>\n
He told the University community not to be afraid of the politics being practiced in the country and always fight for their place.<\/p>\n
He encouraged them to not waver in their values and principles as Ghana rests on their shoulders.<\/p>\n
\u2018This is your country, do not let them make you cowards, do not let them bully you, we rode on our youthful exuberance and our quest for justice to bring Ghana on its right path. Though they have managed to make it turbulent, this is your time, choose to make an impact, choose to make it right.\u2019 He urged.<\/p>\n
\u2018TekTalk\u2019 is a yearly KNUST motivational campus program organized by the local chapter of the National Union of Ghana Students to inspire the youth and the University community.<\/p>\n
Dr. Benjamin Kumbuor (former Attorney General and Minister of Justice) and Nana Aba Anamoah (Broadcast Journalist with the EIB Group) were among the guests who graced the occasion.<\/p>\n
