Former National Communication Officer for the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Solomon Nkansah, has lambasted some members of the Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (FONKAR) who have returned to the party.

According to him, some of the members of FONKAR who have returned to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and trying hard to gain acceptance in the party have resorted to lies and tagging people as anti-Mahama.

Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Solomon Nkansah described those FONKAR members as ‘internal unintelligent people’ who are misusing the strength of Ex-President John Dramani Mahama to feel relevant again after breaking away from the NDC.

He stressed that those who are looking for ways and means to tag him as anti-Mahama for not only openly declaring his support for Mahama in the 2024 election so that he loses the chance of winning the contest in the NDC are wasting their time and energy.

“I told you that they are misusing the strength of President Mahama sometimes. These are internal unintelligent people and they think that Solomon Nkansah is going for a contest in the party and so if they tag me as anti-Mahama, I will lose the election. They don’t know that the issues they are raising will be a weapon for our opponent and at the right time, they will be used against our Presidential Candidate and the NDC,” he noted.

“Those who have been saying some people are anti-Mahama are those who destroyed the party when we were in power. Those who set up the FONKAR and came back to the NDC have caused troubles in the party and so they are misapplying the strength of Mahama to win the internal contest. Some of them are in Kumasi, Eastern Region and in Greater Accra. Those FONKAR members don’t have any base in the NDC and so they want to misuse the strength of Mahama to gain acceptance by saying that some people are anti-Mahama but in the end, they are destroying the party,” he asserted.

He insisted that the FONKAR members who have returned to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are struggling for acceptance in the party; hence, spewing lies and twisting facts in order that they will be considered again.
