Rawlings made this known over the weekend
during a courtesy call on him by a group of actors from Nigeria.
According to a report by Daily Post, the
former Ghanaian president said politicians no longer have respect for religious
institutions as they are made to swear by the Bible and Quran during
inaugurations but still go ahead to massively loot their countries dry.
In his words: “It is unfortunate that the cost
of living in Nigeria appears to be suffocating the people.
“So while some are praying for his health,
unfortunately, some are praying he wouldn’t come back.”
TheNewsGuru.com reports that President
Muhammadu Buhari is currently on a medication vacation in London, United
Kingdom.
The former Ghanaian leader reiterated that it
was necessary that citizens demonstrate high patriotic spirits by supporting
their leaders whenever they confront challenges.
He said: “Rather than blame Buhari, we should
be blaming the extent and depth to which corruption had gripped Nigeria.
“But I guess you need a creative team that
would know how to resolve the economic situation of the country without
possibly undermining the cost of living of the people.
“People are getting away with massive
corruption because they are not compelled to conform to traditional religious
authority.
“We swear by the Bible and the Koran and lie
but dare not with our local traditional deities.
