NDC youth group in Tamale called the John and John Chapter II has cautioned the party�s founder Jerry John Rawlings against any direct insults on President John Evans Atta Mills and Vice President John Dramani Mahama on Saturday at the June 4th Anniversary in Kumasi. Speaking at the official campaign launch of his wife Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawling�s Presidential ambition, the NDC founder Jerry Rawlings said he reserved his comments for the June 4th Anniversary where he is expected to disgrace the Mills-Mahama led NDC administration. But the John and John Chapter II NDC youth group in Tamale has vowed to denigrate the NDC founder if he fails to be modest in his speech at the June 4th Anniversary in Kumasi. Adam A. Basit, Spokesperson of the group gave the caution at a news conference in Tamale where he called on former President Jerry John Rawlings to respect the Presidency. He warned that any attempt to further undermine the President and his Vice at the June 4th Anniversary will not be tolerated. �We are calling on our party�s founder to hold his fire because any attempt to insult or undermine the integrity of the two Johns will not be tolerated� he stated. He said the group members were disappointed in the NDC founder�s incessant derogatory remarks about some top government officials including President Mills and his Vice John Dramani Mahama. Adam A. Basit described anybody or group of individuals within the NDC whose major priority is to cause the party�s defeat in 2012 as its enemy of progress and urged all party loyalists to shun such personalities in their fold. He commended the Mills-Mahama led NDC administration for its sterling performance over the last two years and believed that Ghanaians will give the party another chance in 2012 to complete its Better Ghana Agenda. Adam Basit said no individual in the NDC could claim credit for the party�s 2008 victory and is convinced that the two Johns will deliver victory for the party in 2012. He warned that that any attempt to change the John and John ticket will affect the NDC�S electoral fortune in 2012.
