Greater Accra Regional Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Anthony Nukpenu, has blamed Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings, founder of the NDC for masterminding the party’s defeat in the just ended elections.
According to him, Ex-President Jerry Rawlings painted the party and its leaders as corrupt, paving way for the largest opposition party(NPP) to use such words against them.
“We as a party have a founder who is former President Jerry John Rawlings, and as party members we felt he should be a protective cover for the party and the government but he chose to arm the opposition against us. Why do I say so? The NPP got to our heels by campaigning against us heavily on this so called corruption perception,” he said.
He said anytime the NPP made that corruption claim they point at the founder, who said President John Mahama is presiding over the most corrupt government as such they should be voted out.
Nana Akufo-Addo in his acceptance speech congratulated Ex-President Jerry Rawlings, on the basis of thanking him for the victory he helped him win.
In an interview with Citi FM, he also talked about how Former President Jerry John Rawlings refused to be part of any of the party’s meetings during their campaign but had time for other opposition party gatherings.
“We as a party made numerous moves to have meetings with our founder; he will not agree but had the time and the opportunity to open his doors for Volta Regional NPP executives to have meetings with them. In fact we are not going to call on him anymore for any meeting but we are ready to meet him if he calls on us as a father.”

Truth be told to Anthony Nukpenu. I don't know you and not sure how old you are. Ghanaians are sick of guys like you. I have never liked Jerry Rawlings but where credit is due you must give it. Jerry Rawlings stole power without any legal mandate by risking his life to give a better life to a lot of nonentities among whom had the first opportunity in their livese to see the capital city Accra and they had the nerve and audacity to insult him about governance. 'Who born dog' Today you are living in Accra and has a job as National Organiser of the biggest opposition party and you wont thank Jerry Rawlings. Where is your address. Looser.
Posterity will not forgive Rawlings for campaigning against sitting ndc MP because of his daughter ezanator to become an mp on the ticket of ndc and at the same time inviting volta region npp executives for meeting to strategize for votes against his party .This selfish at the highest degree. Remember that Akuffo Addo tried to sideline some guys in his party but finally had to back off by involving ex president kuffour on the advice of some prominent people.else there was no way Akuufo Addo would have won. Lets see wether ezenator can travel past 2020 while incumbent mp sits down unconcernerd
I beg of you, those blaming others should keep silent and suffer, because, it is God who has chosen Nana Addo to be our prez and so it will be wether you like it or not, so lets come together and pray for him and the party to lead us on the right path.
Rawlings must be ashamed of himself for inviting volta region npp executives for secret meeting and refusing to attend ndc ralies. Rawlings and his family will live to regret in future because his legacy is lost forever. The other issue is that some ghanaians expecially npp members will still continue to use deregotary remarks against anybody from volta region(ewes). Remember volta region is bigger than Rawlingses. Although majority of ghanaians voted for economic hardship. Rawlings should not have involved himself. Ghanaians have not forgoten how Gen Afrifa was killed, and most of the guys who killed the judges and major acquah are still alive, we all know how Nsawam Canary was acquired by behind the scene using 31st december movement. Konadu's hated against fantes because of late president atta mills. What will happen if the Tsikata' decide to spill the bean. A word to a wise is enough. Aspiring politicians should analyze the dynamics of ghanaian tribal politics. Hopping for the best for Akuffo Addo and Ghanaians
Still being Arr0gance and Disrespectful NDC will remind in opposition forever since they have refused to learn from their mistakes .
Mr. Organiser pls blame your Gen. Sec. Asiedu Nkieita, your Arr0gance NDC bunch, he was the one that was name calling your Founder a BARKING DOG ETC. at a point he said Papa JJ Rawlings was Old to Campaigned for his party when Papa K4 was seriously Campaigning for the NPP at his age.
