The attention of the Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (FONKAR) has been drawn to a series of Publications in the media, attributed to one Kwesi Pratt, a self style spokesperson of President Mills maligning the former first lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings.
\nIn his usual predilection of betraying the truth and denigrating pillars of society, this ingrate mounted a sermon of preaching vile doctrines which seems logic only on his head and said that he would do anything in his power to prevent Nana Konadu from becoming a President of Ghana.
\nFONKAR takes offence to the ill-informed and ill-conceived commentary by this tainted politician who wants to come across as a journalist. Should Mr Pratt\u2019 populist brand of political rhetoric go unchallenged? We find Pratt\u2019 belligerence, and his utterances on the former first lady, to be very reckless and we are convinced that such unprovoked attack on Nana Konadu could only be part of that grand scheme being orchestrated by the Mills\u2019 administration to discredit the former first lady.
\nWhat is his problem? Has he become an NDC member to decide what is good for the party? Haven\u2019t Pratt and his collaborators waged their fruitless war of attrition against the former first lady long enough to realize that they are fighting a losing battle? Pratt must also be reminded that the former first lady was never made by the media, and cannot be unmade by the media. The people of Ghana recognized Nana Konadu\u2019 contribution to national politics and they would be the right people to decide if she can led this country or not.
\nThe likes of Kwesi Pratt talks as if they owned the country and without them everyone in the country doesn’t matter. Who is Pratt to choose a President for the 24 million Ghanaians? Since when did he become the spokesperson of Ghanaians? Mr Pratt does not exhibit political and linguistic correctness in his constant critique of Nana Konadu and we wonder if it is just a mercenary journalism, media irresponsibility or corporate greed. We want to state categorically that Mr Pratt is nothing but a paid agitator, a mercenary journalist and a poster boy for crass behavior. We dared him to come out and tell the whole world how he acquired a state of the art printing press 6months into the Atta Mills administration?
\nWhose interest is he serving besides his own in his campaign of reckless vilification against Mrs. Rawlings?
\nFONKAR is not unaware that Mr Pratt and another loud-mouth journalist as well as a self style pollster met a senior security operative of the NDC not too long ago and were given the contract to churn out polls that will indicate that a Nana Konadu Presidential ambition will be a disaster for the NDC in 2012. Every discerning Ghanaian knows that Mr Pratt is a compromised journalist and what he churns out most of the time emanates from his stomach rather than his head.
\nDespite his claims that he is an independent editor, we are yet to see this scandalous editor take on moral issues that speak to the growing misery of the nation\u2019s numerical majority who can barely pull themselves by the strap. The likes of Pratt and their style of journalism is an apology to media practice in this country. They have rejected the core principles that govern objective news coverage and have metastasized into a corporate body that is more interested in marketing the political ideas of their paymasters while it downplays the cruel experiences of resource-deprived Ghanaians. Because of gluttony, and avarice, Pratt is trying very hard to run down the image of a woman who has shown tremendous consistency as a strong advocate of the ordinary people.
\nMany attempts have been made, in the past to harm the reputation of Mrs. Rawlings, all to no avail. They failed. Didn\u2019t they? Even the whole government machinery under President Kufuor was used to destroy Mrs. Rawlings but they failed woefully. What makes Mr Pratt and his likes think they can destroy Mrs. Rawlings?
\nThe fallacy that Nana Konadu cannot win an election in this country is just another communist inferior tactics. It is only a political toddler who would discount Konadu\u2019s political astuteness. In any case, it is only Ghanaians who can decide whether Nana Konadu can become a President or not, it is not opportunists and crooks who parade as so-called senior journalists and political animals. Those who are bent on destroying Mrs. Rawlings and her family from within or outside of the NDC must desist from it or be well prepared for the fight of their lives.
\nIf President Mills\u2019 men, in their wisdom, believe that they can hire Pratt to discredit Nana Konadu to suit their cause, then they must be living in a banana republic. The President must be careful about his friends in the media because sooner rather than later they would help him sing his own dirges.
\nMr Pratt, it is your fault, you have turned into journalistic albino, we challenge you to distant yourself from ignorance, backstabbing, lies, malice, treachery, hatred, attrition and double standard or else posterity will hold your neck to the tie.
\nWe are certain Mr Pratt would be consumed by his mission of destroying Nana Konadu sooner rather than later. We in the FONKAR will do everything within our power to make Nana Konadu relevant to national politics.
\nLong live Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings! Long Live NDC! Long live FONKAR!
\nSigned
