Nana Agyeman: Jerry Rawlings’ Widow Bows Out
World news headlines and social media are filled with tributes to the family of Ghana's former first lady, politician, and women's rights advocate, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, who died on Thursday at the age of 76.
Nana Agyeman-Rawlings was the widow of Ghana's longest serving leader, Jerry John Rawlings, who died five years ago. He led two coups before twice being elected president in multiparty polls.
Ghanaians have paid tribute to a woman they described as an Amazon, who carried on gracefully after her husband, the former President, passed away.
Agyeman-Rawlings also had political ambitions, but lost out in her bid to become the NDC's presidential candidate in 2012.
