Anti- Corruption: Nigeria Can Involve The People, Provoke Moral Outrage His Excellency, former President of Ghana, Flt Lt (rtd) Jerry John Rawlings, was twice head of state of Ghana. In this no-holds-barred interview with EMEKA ANUFORO, he speaks on a range of issues, including Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari, corruption in Africa, his country, Ghana, and the way forward for African countries. On things that destroy the moral fabric of societies In the first place, I think that things have gone astray since the collapse of the bipolar world.
