The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has distanced the party from an open apology rendered to former President Rawlings by its National Vice Chairperson, Anita Desoso.
Madam Desoso in a much-publicised apology during a June 4th commemorative event at Madina in Accra went on her knees before Mr Rawlings to ask for forgiveness for certain comments made about him by party members.
She pleaded: “Now to my father – founder (Rawlings), I know your children we've erred, and I also know that you're a human being and you have also done something; maybe it is not right and I was so happy when I heard you say that, when you brought that statement out rendering an apology – you are a hero. You are a hero.
"This shows that what you have taught me is still within me. If you are a leader, be prepared to say that I'm sorry. If you're a child, be prepared to say that daddy I’m sorry. So, I'll take this opportunity on behalf of the party to kneel down before my dad – please forgive us. Let us come together to build this country”.
However, according to Mr Nketiah, Madam Desoso acted unilaterally and without the prior consent of the NDC executives when she delivered that apology.
"I am talking to you Chief Executive of the party and the person who keeps the records of decisions of the party. I am telling you that we never at any point, discussed the possibility or anything about approaching founder (Mr Rawlings) and apologising for anything," the scribe of the main opposition political party said in an interview.
Mr Nketiah added: "As we speak now, nobody knows the offence for which Anita was apologising for . We called her to a meeting after the incident trying to find out what offence she was referring to but she couldn't answer, So we consider it to be her personal issue with the founder".

Hahahaaaa!!! That party will not know any peace until thy kingdom come. They are doomed forever!!! When they talk of winning the 2020 election, I laugh!!!
there is too much hot heads and eediots in ndc why not keep quiet and save your falling party from total disintegration, this is the reason why ndc would be in opposition for a long time to come
@Atanga, I seem to agree with you. Some issues are better not discussed. It's a mark of wise to know when to and when not to talk.
Asiedu Nketiah is really my hero in this instance. Rawlings is not God for everybody in Ghana should be worshiping. He insult everybody that comes his way and you went and apologized to him for what huh? He can go to h-e-ll. Even he disgraced you on that same platform.
THIS IS PERFECT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NDC EVEN STILL HAS TIME TO BE WASTING WITH THIS MAN WHO HAS BEEN HYPNOTIZE BY HIS WIFE THAT HE HAS LOST HIS SENSES AND REASONING. JUST IGNORE HIM TO THE FULLEST BCOS WIT OR WITHOUT HIM NDC CAN WIN ELECTIONS IN GHANA.
Excellent. Why do you render apology to someone who is not ready to reconcile. Rawlings is a chronic fooooollll! This is what boakye gyan said and it's true.
ASIEDU NKETIAH IS NOT WISE AT ALL. KEEPING QUIET OVER THIS WILL BE THE BASIS FOR PARTY UNITY BUT TO COME UP THIS WAY WHICH IS UNCALLED FOR, WILL DIVIDE THE PARTY FURTHER
