According to him, he took advantage of his daughter’s marriage to apologise to Rawlings and his wife Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings.

He further stated that he now feels at ease and relaxed since he made peace with the Rawlingses saying some heaviness has been lifted off him.

“I think it’s also good to make peace. When you make peace, it’s very nice. You feel so relaxed, it’s as if you’ve removed some weight and put down there. So peace pays, peace is nice”, he stated.
