He\u2019s sure\u00a0that should the NPP sustain its performance it will be difficult for the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) which he founded to return to power come 2020.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese people think they can unseat this man [Akufo-Addo] in 2020?\u201d <\/em>the former military ruler quizzed in an interaction with the CEO of EIB Network, Bola Ray (Nathan Kwabena Anokye Adisi), when the latter called on him to officially invite him to the launch of his biography come September 21, 2017.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou think it\u2019s not possible?<\/em>\u201d Bola Ray asked.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNPP?

He could have spoken about the bad deeds of Kandahar boys, Delta Force and the rest, but he never went that way. You [Rawlings] ruled for 19 years as against Kufour\u2019s 8 years but whenever you speak you cause problems for your own party, [NDC], whereas Kufour\u2019s statments are always enriched with wisdom, giving good advice to the NPP.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Why has the National Leadership of the NDC refused to discipline ex President Rawlings ever since he publicly began to rundown the party, he must be called to order immediately. We cannot continue to build the NDC while he also tears it apart.
