Deputy Majority Leader and MP for Wa Central, Hon Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo, has made a passionate appeal to former president J. J. Rawlings to impress upon his wife to abort her presidential ambition.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with Citi News Parliamentary Correspondent Richard Sky, Hon Pelpuo said the NDC founder \u201cstands to gain greater respectability now and in history\u201d if he helps terminate his wife\u2019s moves to challenge President Mills for the NDC ticket for election 2012 on the quiet.<\/p>\n
Hon Pelpuo dismissed suggestions that his call on Mr Rawlings to freeze his wife\u2019s ambition may be too late. His comments come just a day after he was named a member of President Mills\u2019 re-election campaign team. The call by the Wa Central MP is the first by a senior NDC legislator since Nana Konadu publicly announced her bid for the NDC ticket on May 4, 2011.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (J J Rawlings) should not go that line, I want to address him directly. He is a great man, he is the founder of our party. Please, I want you to take note that this line would not help the future\u2026 You are a person of destiny, and what you have done is recognized all over the world. Don\u2019t let us spoil this opportunity of projecting you into history in a grand style\u201d he told our reporter.<\/p>\n
Convincing his wife to abandon her bid for the NDC flagbearership is \u201clogical, important, good for Ghana, good for Africa and it is good for himself\u201d Hon Pelpuo said, maintaining that although he will \u201calways want to go with Jerry Rawlings but on this matter please, I want him to recognize the very urgent need to come on the main stream party, to stay on course, and not to give the president a run.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hon Pelpuo called pro-Konadu NDC MP, Hon Michael teye Nyaunu, \u201ca maverick\u201d saying the Lower Manya lawmaker is the only MP backing the former first lady\u2019s bid. In his words, about 99% of NDC MPs support President Mills\u2019 re-election bid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
