Council of State members visits Jerry John Rawlings to mourn with him on the death of his mother, Madam Victoria Agbotui

The council of state of the Republic of Ghana mourns with former President Jerry John Rawlings.

It could be recalled that the mother of the first President Jerry John Rawlings, Madam Victoria Agbotui passed on on 24th September, 2020 at age 101.

To commiserate with Jerry John Rawlings and his family on their loss, a delegation from the Council of State, led by it’s Chairman, Nana Otuo Sereboe II, the Juabenghene, called on former President Rawlings and the Agbotui family on Tuesday, 6th October, 2020.

Speaking during the visit, Nana Otuo Sereboe noted that the loss of a mother is a painful experience, He said; “though you have lost your biological mother, you have a very formidable mother in the person of my sister, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, who has stood by you and will continue to stand by you and we also support her to stand by you through thick and thin.”

Like President Akufo Addo, Nana Otuo Sereboe confessed that when he lost his mother he temporarily forgot he was a chief and wept like a baby. He recalled the former President sending the then Chairman of the Council of State, Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia, to mourn with him in New Juabeng.

The renowned chief also added that;

“That action really touched my heart, so it is probably ordained that I should also mourn with you in the position that I honourably occupy as Chairman of the Council of State. We want to assure you that we will be with you in all the activities marking Madam Agbotui’s funeral. Take heart as the Lord is with you and will always be with you,”
