Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper Abdul Malik Kweku Baako is challenging former President Jerry John Rawlings to a book writing contest.
He wants the ex-flight lieutenant who became head of state through a coup d’état to follow his wife’s footprint to write a book on his political career.
“Mr Rawlings hasn’t written and so he should write about his political life for us to know the truth or falsehood in his life,” he stated.
