Maverick politician and Leader of the defunct United Renaissance Party (URP), \u201cChuck\u201d Kofi Wayo believes ex-president Rawlings is gambling away his future and any modicum of respect he has left at the Casinos, by his apparent endorsement of his wife\u2019s presidential ambition.<\/p>\n
He said instead of the former president keeping a low profile after the expiration of his tenure in office, he has rather chosen to gamble away his future in casinos, by pushing his wife to contest as flagbearer of the ruling National Democratic Congress.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I were him, I will keep quiet until my dying days, but he wants to gamble that away in the casinos. I know it is former President Rawlings who wants to rule again and not his wife Konadu. He is the brain behind her (Nana Konadu’s) ambition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview with Radio Gold\u2019s Alhassan Suhini, on the station\u2019s Gold Newspaper Review programme, the brash-talking politician opined that even though the former President performed creditably during his tenure in office, some acts of omission and commission on his (Mr. Rawlings) part blighted all the good work he did as President.<\/p>\n
He accused the former President of plundering away State resources by superintending over the divestiture of more than half of government-owned enterprises established by Ghana’s first president, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, and therefore wondered why Mr. Rawlings wants to rule the country again through his wife, Nana Konadu. Vowing to resist any subversive attempts at destabilizing the State, Kofi Wayo said if the former First Lady truly desires to be President, she should have impressed on her husband not to sell off state assets.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to accept that former President Rawlings helped the country to some extent. However, he didn\u2019t do it all. He sold most of the properties\u2026If his intention is to bring a coup into this country again, then he has another thing coming. We now know better and are well prepared to die for the country, in the quest of defending our democracy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
