Ghana’s former High Commissioner to the UK, Victor Smith, says he doubts there’ll ever be a restoration of the friendly relation that earlier existed between himself and the former First couple, ex President J.J Rawlings and his Wife, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings.
Acoording to him, the only way a reconciliation could be possible is when both parties have the opportunity to sit down and see where each other had gone wrong, but added that it doesn’t look like such a meeting will ever take place.
Ambassador Victor Smith who was one time a Spokesperson for former first family fell out with them following a strong disagreement and was subsequently allegedly sacked via a text message by the ex President.
The former Diplomat who has since then had a frosty relationship with the Rawlingses has chided ex President Rawlings who’s the founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for some of his actions which ensured the party which was incumbent being resoundingly defeated in the December 2016 general election.
He condemned the ex President for hobnobbing with then opposition leader Nana Akufo Addo ahead of that crucial elections, adding that he wept when he saw his former boss cracking jokes with President Akufo Addo during his inauguration.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Victor Smith stated that the bad blood between them has got nothing to do with him but rather with the NDC.
“It is not me…if I die tomorrow I”m no longer here, I’m talking about our party, the man we call our founder has caused some of us pain because of what went on when we were campaigning. It has nothing to do with me as a person, if he doesn’t ever want to see my face, he’s not my father biologically, if he doen’t want to see me I’ll mind my business somewhere. When I belong to a party of which you’re the founder and you cause us so much grieve and for some reason people thik that we should not talk…they should muzzle us? You don’t have to disrespect him but making it known and calling his attention to where he has hurt us is important. When I sent him a message that is what I meant, stop causing some of us pain. I doesn’t take one man to run a whole party.”

Does Victor Smith want to lead Ghana with this kind of attitude? Tweaa
Whiles the NDC MPs are going to Papa Jays house to beg for him to reconsider his decision and rejoin the party, Victor is throwing bombs against his former boss. You guys should know how to discuss your personal issues in the media arena.
Victor Smith is 100% right because you dont bite the fingers that feed you. Rawlingses mistook most of ndc party members to be ***barred word*** forgetting that people helped him become president, Also the ndc party was not formed by rawlingses alone it is human beings that sat down thought stragecally to form a part and made rawlingse the founder of the party. Common sense should be common to the inward thinking because rawlingse cannot flirt with akuffo addo and the same time expect ndc party followers to vote for his unmarried single mother daughter. Does it make sense? Corruption is all over in ghana with just about 4 months of npp administration, people are suffering, cost of living is on the rise, dumso is on the rise, no jobs, npp party members can go to court and disrupt court proceedings something unheard of in the history of ghana. is rawlingse a ***barred word*** or blind
KINDLY INFORM VICTOR SMITH ITS HIS CUP OF TEA AGAIN DON'T LIKE HIM AND STILL FIGHTING FOR A POST IN A PARTY HE FORMED?THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS BEATEN AND DISGRACED BY A WOMAN.VICTOR GO AND FORM YOUR OWN PARTY AND BE THE PRESIDENT PERIOD AS FOR KUKURANTUMI ONLY THE CHIEF WILL VOTE FOR YOU DUE TO THE CAR GIVEN BY PRESIDENT MAHAMA TO HIM.
For saying this, I don't think you are fit to be an ambassador to any country but the incompetent and corrupt NDC govt made you one... This just show your immaturity. Go and enjoy your share of the NDC l00t....
It sure doesn't take one man to run a whole party, so why then do you blame one man for your party's so-called pain and misery? Ghanaians did not vote out the corrupt NDC government because of what Rawlings did or did not do. You represent Mahama's incompetence as no competent person would have selected you to become an ambassador/high commissioner. You were so unqualified!
IF YOU CAN'T RECONCILE WITH THEM AND SO WHAT? WHO ARE YOU MR? COCAINE DEALER LIKE YOU.
Dont be a child Victor, remember that some of your family members also got very close to the Rawlingses when you were on good terms with them; hence do not pass certain comments which will create problems between you and those family members of yours.
laughing with Nana Addo
Is that where our politics has reached? Rawlings laughing Nana Addo should make someone weep. And yet that person was representing the whole of Ghana in the UK. Petty and shameful.
