Founder of NDC, Jerry John Rawlings.
Former President John Jerry Rawlings has denied supporting President Buhari's comments on youth.
President Buhari was heavily criticized on social media after suggesting that many young Nigerians believe they have to “do nothing” in order to enjoy free homes, hospitals and schooling because they live in an oil-rich country.
He made the comment in London at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings.
Some ghana media houses, had quoted the former Ghanaian leader as having supported Mr. Buhari’s comments.
However, in a statement, Rawlings, indicated he “made no comment whatsoever or issued a statement on the comments by President Buhari.”
It said “any comments purportedly coming from Mr. Rawlings are false and a creation of individuals who wish to use the former President of Ghana’s name for their own political interests.”
