Former President John Jerry Rawlings has been asked to convince his wife, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, to discard her intention to contest the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential primaries in July this year.<\/p>\n

The Paramount Chief of Gomoa Akyempim, Obrifo Ahunako Ahor Ankobea II, made the call through Ghana News Agency in an interview at Apam on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Obrifo Ankobea said though Ghanaians appreciated the role of the former first lady in national politics, especially the support for her husband in the NDC administration, she should shield her presidential ambition for now.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThis is not her time,\u201d adding that Nana Konadu could cause irreparable damage to her ambition if she does not wait for God\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

Obrifo Ankobea said the former first lady must abandon her intention to save the image of her husband, who has been a great critic of President Mills\u2019 administration. He said some people would consider the former President Rawlings\u2019 criticism as machinations to prepare the grounds for his wife to
occupy the presidency.<\/p>\n

Obrifo Ankobea said that the recent tour of President Mills to some regions in the country indicated that his government had
performed well. He said from the projects executed by the government so far as captured on video clips during the tour, President Mills deserves a second term.<\/p>\n

The chief said the President\u2019s style of governance had won the admiration of many Ghanaians, who were prepared to vote to return him to power in 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
