Former President Jerry John Rawlings has expressed regret using comments he finds derogatory on successors John Agyekum Kufuor and John Mahama while addressing chiefs and people of Mepe from the North Tongu Constituency in the Volta Region last Tuesday.
The delegation had paid a courtesy call on him to officially invite him to the final funeral rites of Mamaga Awusi Sreku II, Queenmother of the Mepe Traditional Area.
“If they don’t leave heaven for me, I will go and leave the heavens and join Satan in hell because I cannot stay in the same place with them,” he added.
“The former President apologises to former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and John Dramani Mahama for the choice of words. He deems the words as inappropriate and withdraws them,” the statement added.
