The late Jerry John Rawlings, the party’s founder, may have led the party to its demise due to recent events and lack of direction, according to Bernard Allotey Jacobs, former Central Regional Chairman of the major opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a panel conversation with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM’s “kokrokoo” show, he shared his perspective on President Akufo-appointment Addo’s of six ministers last Friday.
He claims that they have victimized Koku Anydoho, Stephen Atubiga, and currently 33 members of parliament.
“I have been a National Executive member of the party, and I know the history of the party. The young ones coming don’t know how the formation of NDC came about,” Allotey Jacobs said, adding that a civilised party like the NDC are raining curses on each other.
” They don’t know how the formation of the NDC even came about . . . we have gentlemen and ladies who have joined the party, and you look at them, you listen to what they say, and you ask youself, Is NDC not metamorphosing into CPP? Today, Rawlings is dead and gone, the man who formed his party. I am inclined to believe that Flt. Lt. Jerry Rawlings has taken his NDC with him . . .” he added.
He claimed that all MPs who cast ballots for candidates they believe are qualified to lead them participate in the National Executive Committee meeting where the Leader of Parliament is always chosen.
“That is how the party is, that is why I am saying there is something wrong somewhere or Flt Lt. Jerry John Rawlings has died with his NDC just like how Nkrumah died with his CPP,” he added.
