The  publication further said the meeting with NDC elders was considered as a  traditional knocking ceremony, but the party bigwigs were so shocked to  even utter a word after Nana Konadu made the announcement.<br \/>\nShe  is even reported to have given a lecture on why she wants to be  President of Ghana and vowed to pick NDC nomination forms when the time  was due.<br \/>\nSpeaking in an interview on <strong>Peace FM\u2019s Kokrokoo<\/strong> morning show, Mr. Ade Coker said people are just bent on bothering the  former first lady. According to him, there is no truth in the  publication because at the party\u2019s NEC meeting, there was not a whisper  or whimper of any such intention. He added that the Daily Guide  newspaper is causing financial loss to the state because people will  rush to buy the newspaper when actually the story they are rushing for  is false.<br \/>\n\u201cPeople want to worry her, she was at the NEC meeting,  the founder and Vice President was also there and we had a long chat but  there was nothing that showed that the former first lady had brought a  letter concerning her intention to contest. The meeting went on for over  5 hours but there was not even a whisper or whimper that she will  contest. Daily Guide will only cause financial loss to the country  because people will rush to buy the paper because of the story which is  false by using their hard-earned cash,\u201d he emphasized.<br \/>\nHe noted that their meeting was cordial and only focused on how to move the party forward.<br \/>\nBut the Editor of the Daily Guide  Newspaper, Fortune Alimi, who stoutly defended the publication, insists  that the story is factual. He sarcastically urged Mr. Adde-Coker to call  on him (Alimi) in order to be properly briefed about the latest  happenings within his own party.<br \/>\n\u201cAde Coker got it all wrong and  need to check his facts within the party \u2026since Mr. Adde-Coker is not a  member of Council of Elders there is a probability that he would not be  privy to every information,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Kwabena Ade Coker, has rubbished a Daily Guide newspaper publication that the former First Lady and a National Vice Chairman of the party, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, has finally put paid to speculations about her presidential ambitions by declaring her intention to run [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-275438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
