Special aide to the Rawlingses, Kofi Adams, has taken strong exception to the Daily Dispatch reports suggesting that former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings would pick her husband, former President Rawlings as her running mate should she become the flagbearer of the NDC, describing the story as \u2018fit for the dustbin\u2019.<\/p>\n
The Daily Dispatch newspaper reported in its Monday 18th April 2011 edition that Mr Rawlings\u2019 name comes up tops of all the possible names for the running mate position, however, it added that the possible constitutional violation of Mr Rawlings becoming a Vice President is being investigated by the paper, as the 1992 constitution bars former Presidents from contesting the position again.<\/p>\n
But Mr Adams said the newspaper\u2019s \u2018publication would have to find its way into the dustbin\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the big bite on Xfm 95.1, Kofi Adams said the choice of a running mate is not the sole prerogative of the flagbearer as there are laid down constitutional provisions in selecting a running mate within the NDC. Mr Adams is convinced the Daily Dispatch is up to some mischief, however, adding that such false publications would not \u2018mis-direct\u2019 Mrs Rawlings\u2019 focus.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaily Dispatch is going to do a lot more of such stories that intends to do in Nana Konadu\u2019s campaign, but we would not be disturbed; our campaign is going to focus on issues and we would not be mis-directed into such areas\u201d.<\/p>\n
Kofi Adams also debunked allegations that Mrs Rawlings would be \u2018bought\u2019 out of the contest with a juicy contract and a big sum of money; saying nothing can derail Mrs Rawlings\u2019 ambition.<\/p>\n
He said Mrs Rawlings \u201chas sat and looked at the problems facing the NDC, the problem facing the country, and how they can be dealt with before accepting the challenge to take up this issue,\u201d adding that, \u201cshe is not into it for any contract, and therefore she is not backing out from it for any reason whatsoever. So if this publication is intended to derail her campaign, they would not succeed\u201d.<\/p>\n
He, however, revealed that there have been no overtures to make Mrs Rawlings rescind her decision, rather adding that, there have been \u2018encouraging words from party elders for her to go on\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
