Former President Jerry John Rawlings maintains that he has credible information to the circumstances that led to the murder of the late King of Dagbon, Ya-Naa Yakubu Andani II and members of his retinue on March 27, 2002.<\/p>\n
He says any attempt to conduct fresh investigations into the murder of the late Dagbon King will be useless if the basis of the exercise does not fall within the precinct of his facts on the matter.<\/p>\n
Former President Rawlings made these remarks at the Gukpegu Regent\u2019s Palace in Tamale on Saturday April 2, 2011 as part of his two day fact-finding visit to the metropolis.<\/p>\n
The visit was to offer him the opportunity to ascertain the situation on the ground in connection with the vandalization and burning of NDC and government property by angry NDC\/Andani youth. <\/p>\n
Their action was in protest against the Accra Fast Track High Court\u2019s ruling on the Ya-Naa Yakubu Andani case, at the end of which all 15 Abudu suspects were acquitted and discharged.<\/p>\n
The former President chastised Mills-led NDC administration over what he described as its gross incompetence in handling the Ya-Naa murder case.<\/p>\n
He lamented the current leadership of the party he founded\u2019s failure to fulfill its elections 2008 campaign promise of ensuring justice in the Yendi saga.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a serious indictment on the current NDC administration\u2019s failure to ensure that justice is done to the late Ya-Naa Yakubu Andani and the Issah Mobila cases which were captured in our party\u2019s 2008 manifesto\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n
Former President Rawlings also expressed his frustration about attempts made by some elements of the ruling government to hijack the party he founded out of the June 4 coup in 1979.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pretty sad that some unscrupulous elements in government today are scheming to hijack the party I founded out of the June 4 Uprising. But let me assure them that we are on course to bring the NDC back to its proper footing\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
On the recent burning and vandalization of NDC property, former President Rawlings said it was justified but rather too late.<\/p>\n
According to him, such actions should have been executed earlier to put pressure on the Mills administration to live beyond reproach in handling the Ya-Naa murder case.<\/p>\n
He reminded the NDC government of its responsibility to investigate what in his opinion amounted to financial malfeasance during the eight year rule of the erstwhile Kufuor-led NPP administration.<\/p>\n
He however pleaded with both the Abudus and Andanis to reconcile and forge ahead in unity. A representative of the Gukpegu Regent, Savelugu Gbanglana Kpema Mahamadu gave government up to Monday April 4 to \u2018do something\u2019 about the court ruling or suffer a major electoral defeat in 2012.<\/p>\n
He explained that the Andanis voted the NPP out of power because it denied them justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will vote the NDC out of power in 2012 if it reneges on its campaign promise of ensuring justice in the murder of our late King of Dagbon\u201d he warned. Former President Rawlings paid courtesy calls on the Chief of Tamale, Naa Dakpema Alhassan Dawuni, the Muslim clergy and later inspected some of the burnt NDC structures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
