I will deal with Kwamena Ahwoi soon – Rawlings

Former President Jerry John Rawlings has warned that he will soon deal with a “callous agenda of bile by the likes of Kwamena Ahwoi”

According to the former president, the masterminds of this ‘callous agenda’ are seeking control of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The former Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Professor Kwamena Ahwoi had earlier revealed that late Prof. John Evans Atta Mills nearly resigned as Ghana’s president due to constant criticisms and ‘harassment’ from Jerry John Rawlings.

KWAMENA AHWOI

According to Kwamena Ahoi, the late President actually resigned, but he convinced him to rescind the decision.

Again, Kwamena Ahwoi, in his new book ‘Working with Rawlings’ alleged that Bede Ziedeng – a staunch member of the NDC and a former member of the party’s Elections committee – nearly died after being attacked by Rawlings for opposing Atta Mills at the 2002 NDC Congress to elect National Executives of the party.

Per the account in the book, Rawlings held Bede Ziedeng’s testicles, squeezed them hard and left them in record time.

In response, Rawlings said despite it being tiring, engaging in self-defence after all these years, he will still take on the individuals like Kwamena Ahwoi, who are supposedly seeking to  destroy his legacy.

Rawlings served the notice in a statement issued by his office in which he commends the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and President of the National House of Chiefs, Togbe Afede XIV.

Rawlings thanked Otumfuo for “the steps he has taken, to seriously protect the environment and also to thank him for tampering justice with mercy on Nana Bantamahene”, following the controversial illegal appropriation of Kumasi lands for private gain, and Togbe Afede for taking the initiative to lead a delegation of Volta Chiefs to border areas in the region to ascertain things for themselves relating to the ongoing voters registration exercise.

Below is the full statement

OTUMFUO DESERVES COMMENDATION
I want to take the opportunity to congratulate the Asantehene for the steps he has taken, to seriously protect the environment and also to thank him for tampering justice with mercy on Nana Bantamahene.

We each have to learn to take a cue from the Asantehene and be bold and audacious in our defence of the environment, especially from thieves and crooks, who with impunity can collect parcels of land anywhere, anyhow and do as they wish against the public good and the sanctity of nature.

Let me also express my gratitude to Togbe Afede XIV, President of the National House of Chiefs for taking the initiative to lead a delegation of the Volta Region House of Chiefs to the border areas in the region to ascertain things for themselves. Some of the unsightly things we see on the Internet do not speak well of us locally and internationally.

Much as I find it tiring and tedious to be engaging in self defence when I have given my all, all these years, I will soon deal with the callous agenda of bile by the likes of Kwamena Ahwoi, who are desperately seeking control of the NDC party. The NDC could, should and has survived on the authority of the word but if care is not taken, it will collapse and drown as has been happening, on the word of those in authority.
