The office of former President Jerry John Rawlings has noted with utter disgust and disappointment the false and malicious claims made by the Volta Regional Chairman of the N.P.P. Mr. John Peter Amewu.
In an interview broadcast on Joy News TV on the 15th of December, 2016, and later carried by other affiliate news portals, the N.P.P. chairman sought to create the impression of a rapport between himself and the former President without recourse to any form of decency. Amongst other things Mr. Amewu stated “I want to say a big thank you to him (President Rawlings). Even on the night of elections when the results were coming in, he did call”.
For the records the former President has met and talked to Mr. Amewu only once in his lifetime. This encounter which was at the full glare of the media took place when he led the Volta Regional executives to pay a courtesy call on the former President after he was enstooled as the Nutsifafa Fiaga of the Anlo Traditional Area. The purpose of the visit was to lodge a complaint about the alleged attempts by non-Ghanaians across the Ghana-Togo border to vote in the just ended Ghanaian presidential and parliamentary elections. In a very brief response the former president informed the group that their concerns would be forwarded to the appropriate quarters.
To make such untruthful and absurd claims of a follow up telephone call which can easily be verified is foolhardy, imprudent, unbecoming of a political actor who is supposed to lead with integrity and absolutely disrespectful to former President Rawlings.
The office therefore demands an apology and retraction of the said falsehood in the same manner and prominence such false claims were carried.

most People in the NDC are aware how JJ has been secretly rallying behind the NPP. he claims there are corrupt people and so-called babies with sharp teeth in the NDC government. he has forgotten that he and his wife are the most corrupt people in the NDC party. Go and find out what the NPP will do for him behind closed doors. Shame on you,Papa J. you call yourself a founder.
Don't worry! We believe you.We don't believe John Peter Amewu. You haven't seen anything yet.
I have been a strong supporter of ndc sice 1992 together with my family but Rawlings have really disappointed me as the founder of the party. GOD BLESS JDM AND GIVE HIM LONG LIFE. GHANA STILL REMAIN GRATEFUL TO U MAHAMA
Look at this ***barred word*** so called founder , no body is bowing to all this non sense. You did what you did and the back lash will catch up with your family one day. You have sown a seed and be prepared to reap what you've sown.
Forget about this guy, he is obsolete))He is a two face Dog..
obvious truth fro Peter Amewu, but why is JJ running away from this call. Thought JJ would be bold to "yes I made the call". And if Amewu is lying, then NDC people should ask JJ what services did he do for Nana Addo for Nana Addo to praise and thank JJ in his victory speech. NDC people should not be in denial anymore, their founder, for reasons best known to him, used all the tricks in the books to undermine the NDC. People have sacrificed in vain for this man JJ. NDC people should open their eyes and watch him carefully. JJ gave the NPP all the sound bites to use against the NPP-***barred word***, corrupt, babies with sharp teeth etc. JJ was even extolling the qualities of Nana Addo.
You reap what you sow Mr. Rawlings this is what you wanted and you have got it so why complaining?
Bolla news. Ever heard the WORD impersonation before? Nuisance. The atmosphere needs peaceful transaction of POWER, not this.
papa J, why are you coming out with this statement? every NDC member is aware that you campaigned for NPP and that was the reason Nana Addo acknowledged you during his acceptance speech. you see, in life you reap what you sow and voltarian will regret your machinations in future. now take up your party and appoint your children for the various position to ran the party. what at all do you want from the NDC executives? and let me remind you that NPP members are not saints
THE NPP CHAIRMAN UTTERANCES WERE IMMATURE. EVEN YOU SPOKE TO FORMER PRESIDENT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KEPT A SECRET.
