A pro-group of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Integrity Against Corruption (IAC) has described the former President Jerry John Rawlings as the moving spirit of the party.
The group called on critics of the ex-military leader to desist from spreading falsehood about him.
‘Insulting one of our illustrious sons of the land, Flt. Lt. J Rawlings, through whose instrumentality we are credited highly on the continent and the world will result in nothing but a deep seated fracture of our party. We want to put it in a simple language, No Rawlings, No NDC!!! He’s the moving spirit and energy of the party. Check it up,” the group stated.
Addressing journalists during a press conference at Agbozume in the Ketu South district on Monday, a leader of the group, Selorm Hamenoo said the verbal attacks on Mr Rawlings are geared towards covering the rot in the party committed by the party bigwigs.
“Ladies and Gentlemen of the press will recall how NDC has trumpeted over the years for a country devoid of corruption. You will also easily recall the passion with which our founder has fought corruption all his life. Unfortunately however, the word “corruption” seems to have become a taboo word within certain circles of the NDC, especially if it comes from the lips of His Excellency former President Rawlings,” I.A.C stated.
The group warned that a spite on Mr Rawlings is a spite against the grassroots of the party.
“We will like to conclude our message by re-affirming our unflinching support and faith in the founder, J.J Rawlings, and to solemnly declare that any spite on His Excellency is a spite against the grassroots of the NDC,” it cautioned.
I.A.C called on NDC members to unite and unseat the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2020.
The former President has said the NDC lost woefully to the NPP in the 2016 elections due to corruption practices committed by appointees in the erstwhile Mahama administration.
