JDM – A CANDLE IN THE WIND
“It seems to me, you lived your life like a candle in the wind never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in.
You had the grace to hold yourself in these painful moments whilst most grassroots, and those around you throughout the country crawled. Moments I can’t ever forget in my entire life.
You changed the pace and image of NDC politicking, your demeanor, language, humour.
You’re my model
You’re my hero
From Bole, you rose as teacher, Assembly man, MP, Deputy Minister, a Minister, Vice President and a President
An accomplished man on our land. In our contemporary politics, nobody had [chalked] that feet. To me there exist a certain STAR on your birth. I yearn for your Presidency again
Sir Piero”
