Reiterating the Former President’s resolve to wrest the NDC from persons who had hijacked the party, Mr Adams says the party is in dire need for an overhaul as its stronghold; the Northern Region has been threatened.
Mr Adams was speaking on Xfm morning show the big bite.
He put the blame squarely at the doorstep of the party’s leadership, saying ‘they have not done what is expected of them”.
“Where your stronghold is threatening to leave you because leadership is not fixing the challenges that is expected of it. Do not forget that we have ten regions; the only region that has its own regional office is Northern region. If they will burn their office down, if regional executives will be on boycott of party activities, if party persons are threatening to leave your party in your stronghold then you are in very serious trouble. Then people who have managed affairs have not done what is expected of them.”
Kofi Adams opines that the onus lies on the party to make sure that the trend is reversed to save the party.
“If you are not protecting what you already have, how can you add more? So there is the need for NDC to look into itself and ask itself what it must do to be able to give hope to the people so that the people can then be energized to want to get out there again to work to add numbers”.
Meanwhile, Kofi Adams who also is the Deputy General Secretary of party has questioned why some constituency executives have been directed not to meet the Former President.
Mr Rawlings is expected to pass through the Ashanti Region to Accra after his visit to members of the Andani family in Tamale. However, there are reports that the constituency executives in Kumasi have been asked not to meet up with him should he visit.
Mr Adams says the directive brings to the fore so many questions as the constituency executives were the same people meeting with the Former President prior to the 2008 elections, asking, “what are we running away from?”
“What has anybody got to hide that he does not want the people to encounter with the truth? The same constituency executives were the one who were meeting President Rawlings when we were campaigning so who is now afraid of the truth, that he would ask them not to meet him?”
“So we should begin to ask ourselves, what are we running away from? Have we done what is expected of us as a government? Have we maintained what we had and are we working to add to it? If we have done all these, why are we afraid that people should have an encounter with the truth?” he quizzed.
