The �FACTS Forum�, a group loyal to the ruling National Democratic Congress say Nana Akufo-Addo�s decision to play ball with Jerry John Rawlings is because the NPP believes he (Rawlings) has the capacity to destroy the party he founded. The New Patriotic Party flagbearer, on Thursday, paid an unannounced visit to Mr Rawlings, at the latter�s Ridge residence, creating a big buzz in media circles as almost all the media houses in Accra congregated at the residence of the former president to witness the event. But the �FACTS Forum� say it is a �charade-of-a-visit� Addressing a press conference at the NDC�s campaign office at Kuku Hill, Osu, Peter Boamah Otukunor, Spokesperson of the group said if the NPP flagbearer was really sincere with his visit, he would have seized the opportunity to apologise to Mr. Rawlings for stripping him off his diplomatic courtesies and also apologise to the nation for his ALL DIE BE DIE war cry. �Akufo-Addo visited Mr. Rawlings for the sole purpose of pursuing his inordinate desire to become President AT ALL COST...Akufo-Addo has been walking around with a very heavy negative public image and so is trying desperately to hoodwink Ghanaians into believing that he is recreating his image...The NPP has signed a pact with the National Democratic Party (NDP) to work to destroy the NDC and so Akufo-Addo is now swallowing his pride, and kowtowing to the man he used to ridicule and vilify. We ask; would it ever be possible for God to kowtow to the devil? We leave you to answer that question,� Otukunor said. The group also sneered at Nana Addo�s recent visit to the Holy Land of Israel, particularly after he allegedly ridiculed the late Prof Mills and Christianity for fasting and praying at the Castle. �As part of his desperation, he recently went to Israel to touch the �wailing wall� to deceive Ghanaians into believing that he has changed, yet has refused to show remorse on his tribal inflammatory comments and ridiculing Prof. MILLS and Christianity for fasting and praying at the Castle. Since when has AKUFFO ADDO realize that God reigns in the affairs of men?� the group sought to know. Below is a copy of the statement read by the FACTS Forum at the Press Conference
