President Akufo-Addo has bemoaned the treatment giving to former President J.J Rawlings by members of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) – a party he founded.
Remarking on the loud cheers given to former first lady Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings by the minority side of the House, after he had acknowledged her in his salutation, as against the silence that greeted that of Mr.Rawlings, Akufo-Addo said NDC members appear not to recognise the founder of their party anymore.
“Mr. Speaker that’s the way of the world; the founder of the party is no longer recognized by the members of the party,” he said.
The comment of the President appeared to have unsettled the minority members who maintained a sudden silence before bouncing back to the jeers that are often associated with the state of the nation address.
All three ex-president since the coming into being of the 1992 constitution are at Parliament to witness the second delivery of the President’s State of the Nation Address.
Mr. Rawlings has in recent times have brushes with NDC as he is often seen criticizing them publicly. He is on record to have said the party will struggle to win power from the NPP in 2020, when Ghana goes to the polls again.

Massa; the writer of this piece got his/her fact WRONG and should go check the video or audio tape; cheering went for JJ Rawlings and hissing and boooing went to Nana Konadu ; to me both episodes are neither here nor there because most of these NDC clueless iditic members are no political legislators ; they are a bunch of kriminal ;kleptomaniacs and stomach politicians because they have created another norm for the NDC party today ; they are cluless; opportunist; thiffs ; VERY DISHONEST PARTY with NO intention to develop Ghana but rather to gain power and create another Ghana abroad including Dubai where they can spend the looted monies ; WHY SHOULD SUCH A BUNCH OF POLITICAL MAGGOTS GIVE any respect to JJ Rawlings and his wife ; this is a family that created and gave these riff-raffs masquerading as politicians the opportunity to turn into gentlemen of the land ;the problem to me is that the mantra of NO RESPECT for JJ Rawlings and Nana Konadu was created by hJJ Rawlings himself ; because he came to power on false pretences ;used stilling to amass wealth for his family ;used tribalism as a tool for governance ; was involved in corruption and murder to create this evil party the ethos of which Jon Mahama emulated to WRECK GHANA !!!!!!!over pricing on contracts ; bogus road contracts; swindling and inflating governments contracts ; SO WHY SHOULD THESE VULTURES IN THE NDC RESPECT JJ RAWLINGS !!!!
