Former Deputy Communications Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, says former President Rawlings has the same right like any other member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to express his views on issues in the party. “The NDC is a party with millions of follower so it is not surprise that some members will have different views,” Mr. Kwakye Ofosu said.
The former Deputy Minister under the Mahama-administration was reacting to the former President Rawlings’ explanation to why the NDC lost the 2016 elections. The founder of the NDC, Jerry John Rawlings, on the 37 Anniversary of June 4 Uprising at Wa in the Upper West Region said Ghanaians booted the NDC out of office because of sickening greed, selfishness and corruption. According to Mr. Rawlings, such practices were contrary to the values upheld by the NDC, describing them as a “betrayal of the values of June 4,” which are probity, transparency and accountability.
Speaking to the issue on TV3’s New Day on Monday, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu said “each of those who voted in 2016 has a reason for voting. We have a party of millions and each of them has views so it will be erroneous for anybody to think the internal wrangling in the party led to our defeat”.
He said “it is important we [NDC] adopt scientific approach in solving our issues because it is not in the interest of the party to conduct our internal matters like this. I suggest we use internal channels to resolve the issues”. The Member of Parliament for Effutu Constituency in the Central Region, Alexander Afenyo Markins also assessed that “it is obvious he [Rawlings] wants to come back to power that is why there is power struggling in the NDC”. “It all boils down to power struggle in the NDC and former President had indicated he wants to come back through his conducts but the only way they [NDC] can survive is to take a collective responsibility over their defeat”, the MP added.

you see what kwakye ofosu is saying? total rubbishhhhhhhhhhh? are we all equal in Ghana? if yes then there is no need to get a President cos we are all of the same calibre. I swearrr people like kwakye ofosu will make ndc stay in opposition for decades.
This baby's teeth are still sharp ooooo. Felix should know that HE. JJ Rawlings is not an ordinary member in the NDC. He used his life to found the Great NDC. It is this your arrogant talk that has landed our party in opposition. Please learn to respect our Father HE JJ Rawlings.
YOU THOSE PRAISING RAWLINGS AND SAYING A LOT OF THINGS AGAINST PEOPLE OPPOSE HIM ARE THE VERY SAME NPP SUPPORTERS WHO WILL START INSULTING HIM WHEN HE TURNS AGAINST YOU SOON. IF YOU LISTENED TO HIS SPEECH HE SAID THE CURRENT GOVT HAS STARTED SOME THINGS....ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
RAWLINGS DOES NOT INSULTS PEOPLE LIKE YOU. RAWLINGS DOES NOT LOOT LIKE YOU. RAWLINGS DOES NOT STEAL MONEY LIKE HOW YOU STOLE. SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND IT IS MAHAMA WHO HAS MAKE YOU SO LIKE WHO ARE YOU ? NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN BECAUSE YOU NDC PART 2 HAS LET US DOWN. KEEP YOUR DIRTY MOUTH CLOSE AND WHEN WE WERE, WHERE WERE YOU TOO ?
Rawlings must respect himself so others can respect him. He rants too much. He must understand that he is not the only the intelligent man in Ghana/NDC.As for his wife; the earlier he understood she cannot be president, the better for him.The NDC has grown bigger than him and his family to condone imposition.
You people will run away from the party. The impudence of a small boy.
WE HAVE BEEN SAYING TIME WITHOUT NUMBER THAT THIS GUY IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL. LOOK AT HOW HE IS ANALYZING THE FOUNDER'S SPEECH. CHILDREN WITH SHARP TEETH AND GREEDY BASTARDS.
why are people so obsessed with this man even though he sometimes goes off track? isn't he a human being? he ruled this country for 19yrs and all he left us was gross indiscipline in our public and civil sectors. the common Ghanaian has no sense of duty. he killed people for just 50 cedis and ironically, his wife bought a state factory before he left office. this is man talking about corruption and Ghanaians are eulogising him. let us be Rawlingses
This baby with sharp teeth will never change..... NDC th.i.e.v.es.....
Hmm today, Felix wants the whole world to believe that JJR has no say in NDC? These Babies with Sharp Teeth are still ranting and raving after leading their party into a Big, never to resurrect ditch. Time will definitely tell. Founder now an ordinary member!!! Heheheeee!! Interesting times ahead.
