A member of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Mike Nii Nortey Oquaye Jnr., has taken a swipe at President Mills in his failure to condemn a group which demonstrated against former first lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings at the ruling party’s headquarters Tuesday.<\/p>\n

There was a near clash between supporters of Nana Konadu and President Mills at the ruling party\u2019s headquarters on June 7, 2011 when about 10 young men said to have come from Agona Kwanyarko in the Central Region and allegedly \u2018sponsored\u2019 by the Get Atta Mills Endorsed (GAME) group, stormed the party headquarters with hostile placards to intimidate the former first lady.<\/p>\n

The placards which greeted Mrs. Rawlings condemned her bid to lead the NDC in 2012 and rather extolled the virtues of President Mills, her main contender.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators who claimed to be embarking on a peaceful walk to submit a petition to President Mills for peace to prevail in the NDC were allegedly beaten up by supporters who accompanied Mrs. Rawlings to the party headquarters.<\/p>\n

The group, Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (FONKAR) has however accused GAME and the party\u2019s National Executives for orchestrating the protest just to distract and intimidate their favourite candidate.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Mike Oquaye Jnr. on Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen<\/em> programme, noted that President Mills\u2019 failure to condemn the demonstration against his close contender implies that he endorses the actions of the group.<\/p>\n

He said the President by his actions fouls his God-fearing and humble traits being trumpeted by members of the NDC.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Oquaye Jnr. stated that President Mills is the exact opposite of those virtues but portrays himself as being humble just to score political points.<\/p>\n

He observed that the incident at the NDC party headquarters Tuesday confirms the allegations of intimidation by FONKAR.<\/p>\n

He warned of commotion in the up-coming Congress of the NDC in Sunyani if the continued intimidation of Mrs. Rawlings and her supporters is not brought to an end.<\/p>\n

But a panel member on the programme, Alhaji Alidu Haruna who disagreed with Mike Oquaye Jnr., said the allegations by FONKAR were frivolous and baseless.<\/p>\n

He added that the NDC Congress would be peaceful and make the party even stronger to \u2018beat\u2019 the NPP massively in the 2012 general elections.<\/p>\n
