The former President who Isaac Dogbe has been appreciative of his support, even financially in previous bouts of his received the title from Dogbe’s team who called on him at his Ridge residence.
Mr Rawlings said there was the need for Dogboe to “equip himself with a new level of discipline and a higher level of spiritual focus if he is to successfully defend the title for as long as legend Azumah Nelson did.”
“Winning the title is like winning political power. It also has a way of corrupting you. The danger is you can adopt an easy attitude after the victory and lose it all,” he pointed out.
