A Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has indicated that NDC founder Jerry John Rawlings’ comments about the party reflect the true happenings within it.
The former president, speaking at a rally organised by the NDC as part of its 25th anniversary at Ashaiman on Saturday June 9, noted that the NDC will need to be truthful and restore integrity before the party can be united for future elections.
“I am beginning to hear about unity, unity, unity. It’s a beautiful sound and I like it very much. But unity comes at a price. It’s not asking for money,” Mr Rawlings noted.
He added: “It’s only asking for truthfulness, it’s only asking for integrity, sincerity. How many times have we not gone through this stage? Smiling and shaking hands but stabbing in the back? I say if we are serious, we are genuine, we are sincere, that unity can work.”
The former military leader further told the gathering: “I don’t think you people [supporters] know how strong you are. I know how strong we are and I did nothing to undermine it. I served for ten years, went to election twice and served another eight years. I know our political strength and did nothing to and never wanted to undermine it in any way. If I had done so, the ten years of the revolution would have been the end. What ever happened? How did we squander it this way?”
Speaking in an interview with Accra News on Monday June 12, Mr Anyidoho dismissed assertions that the former president’s comments are hurting the party.
“He [Mr Rawlings] has said nothing wrong,” said Mr Anyidoho. "Whatever he said contained substance that we must work with. We respect what the founder said.
“Today some people think that they are in charge, and, so, we should do away with the elders of the party. Let me state that there is no way we can move forward without the elders and owners of the party.”

Koku when did you realise this? Now you know anything has a potential owner/founder viz the owners of the NDC party? Do not take shot at 2020 but 2060. The ex-president, JJ Rawlings should be very cautious. They are using adanko redaadaa adoe tricks on him. They would like to use JJ to win and dump him afterwards. Papa JJ should continue with his indefinite leave with the party. Word to the wise.......
Koku thinks he is going to have an uncomfortable lead at the delegates conference to select party leaders so he has started respecting the founder. If NDC had won the elections, Koku would have been insulting JJR that even without him, they have been able to win the elections... Nawaa ooo!! JJR they are praising you because you went soft on them. let them get the power and they will show you that you don't even deserve to be called founder. Ahahahahaaa!!!
Koku when did you realise it. Now you know the owners of the party NDC?. Heads are rolling, Comfortable lead.
KOKU, WHO ARE THE OWNERS OF THE PARTY IN YOUR ESTIMATION - MR. AND MRS. RAWLINGS?
Mr Rawlings should tread cautiously bcos had this babieees with sharppp teeeeth won the elections, they would not have given a f*ck about him. They lost and now they pretend to love their founder.
So now what happened to the NDC? whilst in government they touted the NDC as the most unified party on the planet whilst creating division within the NPP. WHAT WENT WRONG?
No wonder the NDC is in such a mess, we have two I D I O T S running it. Koku and Asiedu.
