Former President John Agyekum Kufuor resigned from the Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC), headed by Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings because he didn�t want to see the nudity of market women, according to Dr. Obed Yao Asamoah, in his book titled: �The Political History of Ghana (1950 � 2013)�. Dr. Obed Asamoah revealed that Mr. Kufuor, who was then the Secretary of Local Government in the PNDC government, had introduced certain policies which were not in the interest of market women and so they had planned to demonstrate against him. �Kufuor alone planned to leave the government permanently when market women objected to some policies of his ministry, and from what I heard; they threatened to march in the nude to his office. Horror of horrors!� he noted. Dr. Asamoah added: �He had to escape the sight of a multitude of women, some as old as his mother, in their birthday clothes�. According to Dr. Obed Asamoah, his appointment as Secretary of Foreign Affairs in the PNDC era, together with the appointments of Mr. J.A. Kufuor as Secretary of Local Government, K.B. Asante as Secretary of Trade and Alhaji Mahama Iddrisu as Secretary of Transport and Communications, drew the ire of revolutionary youth who claimed they were not loyal members of the PNDC. He said their appointments, which the revolutionary youth termed as �Gang of Four� was deliberate on the part of the PNDC government to consolidate prominent people in the Nkrumahists and Danquah-Busia Tradition. However, their appointments were greeted with demonstrations from the youth because they saw them as not loyal members of the PNDC. In his book, which was launched in Accra yesterday, Dr. Obed Asamoah said he, together with Mr. John Agyekum Kufour and others, at one time decided to resign their positions, having abandoned their office for some time, but after several deliberations on the matter, decided to return to office. According to him, his resolve to resign from his office was later reinforced by the hostility he saw in the looks of one of the student leaders � one Kwesi Adu of the June 4 Movement, when he met him on his way to Gondar Barracks to meet Flt. Lt. Rawlings. He said former President Kufuor later planned alone, to leave the government permanently, when market women objected to some policies of his ministry. Mr. Kufuor, he argued, resigned about the third week of August 1982.
