Former President Jerry John Rawlings has slammed the Vice Chair of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Anita Desoso, exposing her as a “crook”.
Mr Rawlings says he regrets not telling Desoso in the face about her deeds when the latter knelt before him to apologise and beg for forgiveness on behalf of the NDC for its ‘sins’ during the 39th anniversary of the June 4 Uprising.
“Maybe sometimes I say the inappropriate things, I should have said it there and then [that she’s a crook]”, Mr Rawlings lamented.
Rawlings who is the Founder of the NDC lately told Desoso at a ceremony held at at the Madina Social Welfare School Park, during the commemoration of the 39th anniversary of the June 4th uprising that her fair complexion is becoming unnatural and therefore must put an end to using bleaching creams and soaps.
“She is getting too fair. ‘Y3ngyai sa samina no na 3ny3’, to wit, let us stop using that bleaching soap because it is bad. She said I am his father and so let me tell her what I want to say”, an elated Rawlings noted amidst laughter from the crowd.
Mr. Rawlings’ comments came moments after Desoso knelt down and begged him to forgive the sins of her party, NDC.
“Founder, I know your children we have erred and I also know that you are a human being and you have also done something may be it is not right. And I was so happy when I heard you say that when you brought a statement out, rendering an apology – you are a hero. You are a hero. This shows that what you have thought me is still within me. If you are a leader, be prepared to say that I am sorry. If you are a child, be prepared to say that daddy I’m sorry. So, I will take this opportunity on behalf of the party to kneel down before my dad – please forgive us. Let us come together to build this country”, an emotional Desoso pleaded with the former Ghanaian Head of State.”
