Former President Jerry John Rawlings has praised the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) for being consistent in their values and has charged the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to do same.
Speaking at a political rally at Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region as part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Saturday, 10 June, the founder of the party said the “NPP are not so vulnerable” unlike the NDC and “whether you pump money into them, you try to corrupt them or not, there is a certain consistency by virtue of who and what they are and that figure, in terms of election, could invariably always be the same”.
He was worried that could not be said about his party, indicating: “You and I do not have the consistency of the NPP,” adding that the NDC has “a different type of consistency but we appear unable to hold on to that consistency”.
For him, the NDC “could virtually win every election all the time if we recognised our strengths and dealt with our weaknesses”.
“Nobody is saying don’t make money; make it good and clean, but not some of the ones I know: sickening, that kind of greed and selfishness, look at where it landed us. Or is it because this government is not behaving the way Kufuor did in his time so we think we are okay? I know what’s going on. I know some of the things they are running into,” he said.

Kojo B You are pitiful. Ashantis don't follow fo*ls and people who have no values in any case those elected officers of the NPP are all self made people who never cried of hunger in opposition like the ndc just 6 months are hungry. Rawlings is far from what you idi*t called Kojo B is talking about. NPP has values and they believe in that value of development in freedom that's why Rawlings us telling you to make money but genuine money not ste*ling nyafu nyafu ulyou are an idi*t. Ashantis don't go into politics to enrich themselves by ste*ling but go into it to be get fame hence ndc was in power for 8 years but couldn't hail anyone,Rawlings is telling you he knows what is happening so don't say everything is okay,he knows the evidence these people are gathering will make it difficult for you people to exonerate yourselves, ndc are fo*ls such that when you speak in proverbs they don't understand. They are idi*ts who rush to re-act so always caught at the wrong side and their stup*dity shown and how can such party be attractive to people. Mo'agyimi dodo. Ndc will never attract Ghanaians because all they say is ndcfuo agyimi. I can tell you Kobby Acheampong and so many of those guys ndc appointed join you because of your stup*dity,they said the only thing you need to get an appointment in an ndc government is loud mouth but for the NPP the line is too long,it will take you a long time to be seen in that party. Why did Sam George join the ndc from the former late Vice president Aliu's office and became a darling boy in the ndc because of his loud mouth and insults where as he wasn't like that in the NPP he found ndc as fo*ls party where you can make money in a twinkle of an eye with your mouth. When Rawlings advised you ndc were giving people who insult positions but not experience people you insulted him but he was right all those guys joined the ndc because they say you are ***barred word***,they say nkwaseafuo no if you want to make money in politics k) nkwaseafuo no h) that is ndc hence Kwaku Boahen and co go to radio to disgrace themselves and they say they are after their money.
“NPP are not so vulnerable” unlike the NDC and “whether you pump money into them, you try to corrupt them or not, there is a certain consistency by virtue of who and what they are and that figure, in terms of election, could invariably always be the same”. What Jerry means is that, these guys have an Ashanti base that will vote the same way whether you give them money or not. The vote will never change. They can steal money, be corrupt etc. Their people will continue to vote for them. And these 2 regions make them good. Unlike NDC, they need always to convince the rest of Ghana to vote for them and they have to do it consistently. A small slip and NDC will lose the elections. So the NDC needs to work harder
@ Tony the bull ooh, hoo show some level of maturity.
What does this full JJ Rawlings think he is advocating again ; 'make it good and ' ; look at the kriminal NDC full ; who makes clean money in Ghana today; has he forgotten the ethos of the NDC party ; why is the ediotic full advocating party members to make money besides with all his family wealth he lutted over the years did he make that wealth on the clean side ; this ewe ediotic donkey should be told that you do not go into politics to make money or steel from the people ; you go into politics to serve the people and improve their living standards ; HOW CAN YOU TRUMPET THAT YOUR PARTY PEOPLE SHOULD GO OUT AND MAKE MONEY ; POLITICIANS ARE SUPPOSE TO HELP AND SERVE THE PEOPLE ; this man is still fulling some Ghanaians that going into politics means making money and steeling ; this has been the mantra of JJ Rawlings for over 20 years ; be tribalistic; envy people ; murder people ; the worse part is that this fatherless child of aimless disposition talks about morals and intergrity ; JJ Rawlings lives in a fulls paradise ; he does not understand the words and its function ; he has NO intergrity ; this is a corrupt man and a steeler with dubious split personality ; he steels state assets and sells it to his wife ; takes state assets and gives them to his wife Nana Konadu ;the man takes monies from Sanni Abacha and uses it to fund his children's education abroad and messes up the system in Ghana ; if JJ Rawlings had any intergrity and honesty ; Ghana will not be where it is today ;fraud ; corruption murder ; create ; lut and share ; the man wasted 20 years of our time with this so called revolution ; a treason which he should be disposed off ; the funny thing is that you still have some Ghanaians even listening to the BAS--TARD of a son of a LABANESE.
