Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, Member of Parliament for Ho West constituency in the Volta Region has denied claims that former President John Dramani Mahama was late to the 36th commemoration of the 31st December Revolution held in Ho on Sunday, 31 December, 2017.
Mr Bedzrah, who was the Chairman of the local organising committee in a statement, said “we wish to state emphatically from the outset that former President Mahama was not late to the Revolution Day event.”
The statement explained that: “What transpired leading to the remarks of the Founder of the NDC and former President, Jerry John Rawlings was an apparent communication lapse. Former President Mahama's Office was informed to arrive at 10am. It should be noted that Former President Mahama duly complied and in fact arrived earlier at 9:50am".
The statement further indicated that: "it must be well acknowledged that Former President Rawlings after having been informed of these facts, in a statesmanly manner, publicly corrected the impression he had created earlier and apologised to President Mahama.”
Background
Mr Mahama was accused of arriving late at the event by Former President Jerry John Rawlings. Mr Rawlings, speaking at the event was not enthused that official programmes are held up in wait for Mr Mahama before commencement.
“He has not learnt the lesson of how not to be late for functions. Each time they keep me waiting just because of him. Ladies and gentlemen, don’t worry he will learn it,” Mr Rawlings said.

JJ MUST BE TOLD, HE IS MANIACCC. PEOPLE LIKE BEDZRAH SHOULD NOT TRY TO SUGARCOAT HIS MADNESSSS. HE HAS NO COURTESY AND HE HAS A BAD JUDGEMENT. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS DISORDER HIM THAT LED HIM TO DO THREE COUPS IN GHANA AND KILLED PEOPLE PEOPLE TO SATISFY HIS MADNESSSS. HE BECOMES INHUMANN ANY TIME HE IS CHEERED BY SENSELESSSS CROWD. HOW COULD HE TREAT MAHAMA LIKE THAT EVEN IF THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAD BEEN LATE. AND WHAT NEED WAS IT FOR MAHAMA TO ATTEND THAT COUP D'ETAT CELEBRATION. MAHAMA AND MILLS AS PRESIDENTS OF GHANA HAD REFUSED TO ATTEND THEM BEFORE IN THE PAST. THEY HAD DISASSOCIATED THEMSELVES FROM THE VIOLENT ORIGINS OF JJ. I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY MAHAMA SHOULD GO THERE THIS TIME FOR HIM TO BE DISGRACE IN THAT MANNER. PERHAPS HE HAD TO DO THAT OUT OF POLITICAL CONVENIENCE SINCE MANY OF THE TOP GURUS OF NDC WERE TO BE AROUND. BUT IT DID NOT WORK. JJ IS ALWAYS VINDICTIVE. HE IS NOT DIPLOMATIC AND DEMOCRATIC. HE CANNOT AGREE TO DISAGREE. AS A MANIACC, HE FOUND IT AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTACK MAHAMA WHOM HE HATED DEEP IN HIS HEART. HE COULD NOT HIDE IT. HE CANNOT BE PREDICTED AND HE OUGHT TO BE AVOIDED. HE TRIES HARD TO HIDE HIS BAD CHARACTER BECAUSE OF THE BAD NAME HE GETS, BUT LOSES CONTROL AND SPEW IT OUT OF HIS CHEST UNEXPECTEDLY. IT WAS NO NEED FOR BEDZRAH TO APPEASE MAHAMA FOR THE INSULT. IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME FOR JJ TO DO THAT AND IT SHALL NOT BE THE LAST ONE AGAINST MAHAMA. MAHAMA MUST BE SMART TO AVOID HIM. JJ SHALL ALWAYS BE CRAZY. EVER SINCE HE FAILED TO MAKE HIMSELF THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN GHANA, HE HAS VOWED TO BECOME ONE IN THE NDC WHICH HE CLAIMS TO BE HIS BABY.
