The President of the 31st December Women’s Movement (DWM) picked up her nomination forms last Tuesday and proceeded with the official launch of her campaign the following day.
On Sunday Nana Konadu visited Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital where she took part in activities marking the 61st birthday celebration of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. Saint Osei, a leading member of Nana Konadu’s campaign team told Kessben Fm in Kumasi that her campaign team will swing into real action this week.
He said the team will visit all the 230 constituencies in the country to convince delegates to entrust their mandate to the nation’s longest serving first lady when the ruling party holds its primaries in Sunyani from July 8-10.
Saint Osei noted that the advance team which was sent to do underground work across the country has concluded its work and that it was time for the campaign team to roll into action. Based on the advance team’s report, the ground was fertile and Nana Konadu was set to record a massive victory in the primaries.
He also said that Mrs. Rawlings’ campaign team was critically studying the vitriolic attacks launched on the former first family by members of President Mills’ campaign team. When the President picked his nomination forms last Thursday and went ahead to launch his campaign, speaker after speaker including the President and his vice cast insinuations against the former first family.
Mr. Osei indicated that Nana Konadu’s campaign team will formally respond to those insinuations in the same manner they were uttered after carefully examining them. He emphasized that the team will not take kindly to any insinuations cast on the former first family particularly Nana Konadu and that they will appropriately respond to them.
Sharing a thought on the declaration of support for Mills by some leading members of the ruling party who hitherto were close associates of the Rawlingses, Mr. Osei said they are shameful souls.
Enoch Teye Mensah, Sherry Aryittey and Betty Mould Iddrissu among others, who up till now were lieutenants of the former first family, have all endorsed the candidature of President Mills.
He said he was not surprised about the actions of the aforementioned persons and others since they do not have values and love money than truth. Before E.T Mensah was given an appointment as employment minister, he consistently indicated that President Mills was not the right man and that he needs to be changed, he alleged.
“If today, he has endorsed the candidature of President Mills because he has been given a position that tells you the kind of person he is,” he pointed out stressing that people of integrity and truth will not go the way of E.T Mensah.
He said most leading members of the Nana Konadu campaign team including himself have been approached with money from the presidency but have rejected it because of their ardent belief in integrity and truth.
Mr. Osei stressed that they were least perturbed about the declaration of support for President Mills saying the delegates who wield the power to elect the party’s next flag bearer have already made up their mind to vote for Nana Konadu.
