Outspoken Central Regional Communications Director of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ben Allotey Jacobs has asserted that the founder of the party, ex-president Jerry John Rawlings has lost the respect, commitment and loyalty of many party followers, adding that the myth surrounding him has been broken.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Peace FM\u2019s flagship programme, \u201cKokrokoo\u201d, Mr Allotey Jacobs said the ex-president should be made to understand that the loyalty of members of the ruling party is what has kept him going all these years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to advise former President Rawlings\u2026his saviour apart from the Almighty God is the NDC party. The rank and file of the NDC party has always surrounded him, have been loyal to him, and that loyalty is what has kept him going,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
To him, former Chief Executive of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Herbert Mensah, is the greatest enemy in the house of the Rawlingses, yet they are too blind to see. He counseled the former President to use the upcoming June 4th celebration to redeem his sinking image and integrity.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy advice to former President Rawlings, who is the founder of my party is that\u2026June 4th is the last chance for him to protect his image and his integrity. June 4th will be the last chance for him because time is catching up with him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Board member of the ECG urged Mr Rawlings to emulate the admirable example of ex-president John Agyekum Kufour in order to restore the respect he once enjoyed from the party.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis popularity\u2026the myth surrounding ex-president Rawlings is broken. The charisma, the respect, the commitment and loyalty of party members to Flt Lt. Jerry John Rawlings is gone! Gone are the days when it was a taboo to speak against or question Mr. Rawlings. Now look at what is happening\u2026President Kufuor has protected his integrity\u2026people are now admiring the man. You see the position he\u2019s taken, we expect Jerry John Rawlings to also take a similar position.”<\/p>\n
“Sometimes when interacting with people, they keep asking \u201cdoes Rawlings think he\u2019s god of Ghana?\u201d It\u2019s because of NDC’s personification of Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, therefore he might think that ‘I am a god’\u2026But on this earth, there\u2019s only one person who was elevated by God into the godship and that was Moses\u2026I\u2019ll plead with former president Rawlings\u2026he either keeps quiet and retain the respect that he has in the party or he goes ahead and spew out certain things that will make people to throw missiles at him,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
