Name the traitors & give specifics – Ablakwa tells Rawlings
The NDC government has challenged former president
and party founder Jerry John Rawlings to be
specific and exact in his accusation of the
government which he says has become corrupt over
the years.

The former president has also been asked to give
the names of persons he says are responsible for
some of the atrocities that state institutions are
still investigating especially the murder the
Overlord of Dagbon YaNa Yakubu Andani and many
such cases which he says he has evidence.

This ‘humble’ plea came from a Deputy Information
Minister Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa when he was
commenting on the former president’s latest
comments about the government and the party where
he said the NDC is now battling two opponents – an
enemy and a traitor.

According to Mr. Ablakwa “a lot of the accusations
which are being leveled against government are
still in the realms of vagueness and generality
and we will very humbly wish that we get some
specifics, we get some direct pointers as to what
exactly the problem is, what exactly the
difficulties are.

“We were promised sometime last year or so that at
the last year June 4, there would be specifics and
that names would be dropped. The whole country was
expectant, everybody waited for the day in anxiety
and unfortunately the specifics never came.”

The former president has been a strong critic of
the NDC government which he helped bring into
power about four years ago.

Mr. Ablakwa also added that the NDC is confident
of victory despite the difficulties it is faced
with currently and said “people vote for political
parties not because of how they might be all rosy
but based on their track record, their delivery
and the candidate they have on offer.

“As our slogan says, we will move from victory
unto victory because the masses of this country
know that their best bet is the NDC…

"We are very confident that we will save the
umbrella, the umbrella would remain where it is,
we have no doubt at all that the umbrella would
remain with the NDC and that is the symbol the
people of this country would find on the ballot
paper on December 7."
