These people, with mouths like acid, can insult<br \/>\nyou proper,\u201d Mr. Rawlings claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the National<br \/>\nCadres Conference at Ejisu in the Ashanti Region last Saturday, the NDC founder<br \/>\nobserved that unlike the NDC, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) does not insult too<br \/>\nmuch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NDC<br \/>\nVs NPP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ruling NPP also<br \/>\ninsults as it is with every human institution, but the NPP doesn\u2019t waste too<br \/>\nmuch time on insults as the NDC does,\u201d Mr. Rawlings observed, attracting wild<br \/>\napplause from audience.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, he said<br \/>\ninsults and lack of respect for leadership would not help the NDC in any way,<br \/>\nespecially as the party was working to recapture political power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wicked<br \/>\n&amp; Selfish<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The NDC founder also<br \/>\nlambasted some of his party leaders for being \u2018too wicked\u2019 and \u2018selfish\u2019,<br \/>\nadding that such negative attitudes were serving as a stumbling block to the<br \/>\neffective growth of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNDC, NDC, some of your<br \/>\nleaders are very wicked. The NDC has some leaders who are \u2018self-centred,\u201d he<br \/>\nsaid bluntly.<\/p>\n<p>Justifying his strong conviction<br \/>\nthat some NDC leaders were very wicked and selfish, he said it didn\u2019t make<br \/>\nsense for the NDC to discriminate against a powerful group like the Cadres.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sidelined<br \/>\nCadres<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to him, the<br \/>\nCadres, from all indications and happenings in the party, had been sidelined<br \/>\nand disrespected by the current NDC leadership \u201cand that is very appalling\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Rawlings recounted the<br \/>\ntireless efforts the Cadres made to make the NDC stronger, especially during the<br \/>\nformative years of the party, pointing out that nobody or group has the right<br \/>\nto sideline the Cadres.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Money<br \/>\nRules<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The NDC founder also<br \/>\nexpressed extreme anger over what he described as \u201cmoneycracy\u201d, which is now<br \/>\nthe order of the day in the NDC, saying NDC ought to return to the tenets of<br \/>\nthe party.<\/p>\n<p>The National Cadres<br \/>\nConference was graced by some top NDC members; notable amongst them were Prof.<br \/>\nJoshua Alabi, Johnson Asiedu Nketia and others from all the 16 regions of the<br \/>\ncountry.<\/p>\n<p>They used the occasion to fraternise, discuss the current happenings in the country, especially in the NDC, and what the Cadres could do collectively to help advance the cause of the NDC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FROM I.F.
