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.

Massa ; you know the implications of such marriage ;IT WILL NEVER LAST !!!!!!!! complete disater because if it is true this a master stroke that means there is no way the NPP or Nana Adddo can implicate or charge JJ Rawlings with anything in future if the constuitution is changed and the immunity laws are changed for JJ Rawlings to stand trials for JJ Rawlings past evil deeds ; the man will get away with his sinister and evil deeds that he has perprtuated in the past ; IF IT IS TRUE NANA ADDO WILL BE FUMING ABOUT THIS RELATIONSIP because such relatioship it will not last because Nana Konadu hates NANa Addo
Mr. Amewu and the NPP strategically tamed Papa J by their visits to his house and other engagements. It really worked for them and at long last they won the elections. It was a master class strategy from Nana and the regional chairman, Mr. Amewu. Mr. Rawlings should have known that his actions were a complete betrayal of the NDC. This in my view was part of the cause of the APATY in the Volta Region. Mr. Rawlings should think fast next time...you dont give an inch to your enemy in a political contest.
This not important but rather start with the promises, 'one district one dam'. Cash and only cash with jobs galore.
NDC ungrateful people like Kofi Adams, Asiedu Nketiahs must watch out what is going to happen in the NDC. In a house where a Dog is staying with a chicken, when the dog put his bone in the corner he does not say the chicken should play with it. NDC is for JJ and the family forever. If you people who are against him JJ doesnot know he is going to fish all the corrupts out and put them on fire as he did to his Generals in June 1979. This is written in the Spiritual World. Time will tell. God is love but punishes evil doers to the 3rd to 4th generations in the evil world. Zanetor is going to be leader of the party. soon and very soon.
Mahama tor vaglo...neyi
Rawlings' bad deeds against the ndc will be exposed one by one! He still doesn't believes his political journey has come to an end! Only time is of a essences! Rawlings you did called and met the npp guy! This time, we can challenge you on chemical interrogation devices!
Jerry You have not seen anything yet and i can bet you that more is coming from this camp of npp,if you think you eat your cake and have it again and by so doing also given out your children for another family to feed on.holy you are.
Papa J but u said Nana Addo is not corrupt and that he should save the Nation , why this ?
Rawlings'only son Kimathi is dating Akufo Addo's beloved daughter so it is not surprising that Rawlings is now in bed with his once worst enemy Akufo Addo.the wedding between Kimathi and Nana Addo's daughter will come on before Nana Addo's first term end.NDC can only come to power again after the death of the man Rawlings
