Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings

Konadu supporters finger saboteurs, moles
A group supporting the presidential ambitions of
former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings,
have accused some members of the Mills
administration and holders of high profile
positions in the National Democratic Congress
(NDC) of hijacking the party and turning former
President Rawlings into a "slave."

The group, Nana Konadu for 2012 (UK), in a press
statement copied to citifmonline.com, named
President Mills, Kwabena Duffuor and Fiifi Kwetey,
both ministers, as well as other senior members of
the Mills administration, as well as "Allotey
Jacobs and others who sat with us and pretended
they were NDC but are now exposed as members of
the Convention Peoples Party, agents and defectors
from the New Patriotic Party like Okudzeto
Ablakwa, Omane Boamah, Kakra Essamuah and many
others who are now using the party as a vehicle to
amass wealth and to sow seeds of mistrust and
confusion about Rawlings and Nana Konadu around
the country."


Below is the statement:

On behalf of all June 4th movement members, 31st
December Women’s movement members, former
cadres, students in Europe and supporters who are
dedicated, loyal and committed to the cause of The
National Democratic Congress, and the ideals of
its Founder, His Excellency and 4 time Head of
State (1979,1981,1992 and 1996) Flight Lt Jerry
John Rawlings, we are excited by the wind of
change which is about to blow in our great party.

We salute the work of the likes of Dela Cofie,
Ransford Vanni Amoah, SaCut Etego, Michael Teye
Nyaunu, Clement Sangaparee, Ekow Spio Garbrah and
many of our foot-soldiers who have decided not to
exchange their conscience for bread but rather
remain loyal to the history and ideals of our
party.

We also welcome the call by the NDC UK and Ireland
chairman Mr Horace Nii Ankrah that there must be a
contest. It is an acknowledgment of the change
that we are clamouring for. The current state
which the party finds itself in is a failure by
President John Evans Atta Mills to promote and
appreciate the ideals and policies of the party
and his betrayal of the ideals of May 15th, June
4th and 31st December on which the party was built
on.

Our party has now been hijacked by complete
strangers; the likes of President Mills himself,
Kwabena Duffuor, Ato Ahwoi, Totobi Quakyi, Fiifi
Kwetey, PV Obeng, Allotey Jacobs and others who
sat with us and pretended they were NDC but are
now exposed as members of the Convention Peoples
Party, agents and defectors from the New Patriotic
Party like Okudzeto Ablakwa, Omane Boamah, Kakra
Essamuah and many others who are now using the
party as a vehicle to amass wealth and to sow
seeds of mistrust and confusion about Rawlings and
Nana Konadu around the country.

Today we see our founder, Ex President Jerry John
Rawlings advice for the party and President Mills
to listen to the people, investigate and punish
corruption in the past administration fall on deaf
ears. What we see is the constant glorification of
Nkrumah and the pursuing of Pro CPP ideals,
Nkrumah here, Nkrumah there, Nkrumah everywhere.

The founder is being treated as a slave in his own
party, a party he has given his life for. This is
the highest and ultimate betrayal.

We call on all those who believe in Ex President
Rawlings and respect the ideals of June 4th and
31st December to stand firm and rally round
Rawlings and his ideals. We appeal to our
delegates and our party officials not to allow
offers of positions, money, promises of contracts
to bribe their conscience.

We appeal to all NDC members in the diaspora to
join hands with our cadres back home to take back
the party from these strangers and their stooges.
Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings is the most qualified
person to rescue our party from collapsing and
losing its grassroots values.

The time to rebuild and get NDC ready for victory
in 2012 with Nana Konadu as leader is now.

Dr Emmanuel Kankam Boadu-Co-ordinator, Nana Konadu
for 2012(UK)
