Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Solomon Nkansah says in as much as some NDC members dislike and do not agree with their party founder, John Jerry Rawlings, on some of his utterances, he is very instrumental in the party.<\/p>\n

According to him, their \u2018no nonsense leader\u2019 must be tolerated by all if indeed the NDC wants to regain power in the next presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Solomon Nkansah said \u201cRawlings is a test for the NDC to pass. If we can\u2019t tolerate him now, then it will be difficult for us in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of his comments about NDC are hard truth which many won\u2019t agree. If they don\u2019t agree with him [Rawlings], they should find a better way to address that than using the media to attack him. No matter what the situation is, we need Rawlings in our party. We must respect him,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said on Neat fm.<\/p>\n

Former President Jerry John Rawlings has said he does not hate the National Democratic Congress (NDC) but rather dislikes acts of corruption perpetrated by some officials of the party.<\/p>\n

In an address at the 80th Ada Asafotufiami Festival last Saturday, the former President said his unflinching stance against corruption had created the false perception among some NDC faithful that he hates the party.<\/p>\n

He said:\u00a0\u201cWhen I talk, they say I don\u2019t like NDC, no! I don\u2019t like stealing, I don\u2019t like disgrace so If NDC does good I will praise them if they are bad I will say it as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf NPP does well, I will praise them, if they do bad I will hit them on their back\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

He also chastised three former Presidents John Kufuor, Atta Mills and John Mahama for overseeing corruption during their tenures.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when I left office, it (corruption) was prevalent during Kufuor\u2019s tenure, during Mills tenure it continued and Mahama did same. I remember when Kufuor was leaving he did some bad things\u2026\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, he commended President Akufo-Addo for placing the Presidency on the line in the fight against illegal mining.<\/p>\n

Ex-President Rawlings has since been\u00a0barraged with insults and criticisms from his own party members, with notable ones \u00a0from former Deputy Chief of Staff in Mahama\u2019s administration, Harry Sawyerr and Obed Asamoah.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
