NDC members no longer recognize their founder-Akufo-Addo

President Akufo-Addo has expressed disappointment at the attitude of some Minority NDC members refusing to recognize the founder of their party.

At the 2018 State of the Nation Address in Parliament while acknowledges the presence of some former head of states in Parliament, the Minority kept heckling at the President as he mentioned the name of Mr. and Mrs. Rawlings forcing him say “Mr Speaker that is the way of the world, the founder of the party is today no longer recognized by the members of his party.”

The issue of Rawlings as the founder of the party became a debate in the party in 2017 as some members believe he is not the founder but just holding a ceremonial title.

'A squeak or a roar?' - NDC Valerie Sawyerr mocks Rawlings

Former Senior Policy Advisor to former President John Mahama, Dr Valerie Sawyerr, says she is undeterred by attacks on her after she took on former President Rawlings.

Dr Sawyerr had criticised Mr Rawlings for his frequent attacks on the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President Mahama.

Moments after the Former President granted an interview to a section of the press in which he asserts Dr Sawyerr is threatened by his integrity, she has shot back, questioning Mr Rawlings’ definition of persons with integrity.

In an interview with the Daily Post soon after former President Rawlings' remarks -- Dr Sawyerr said “Rawlings’ position that I am threatened by his integrity to be true, three premises must be established: a. that he has integrity, b. that I do not have integrity and c. that I am intimidated in any form or manner by the integrity he must first have.”
