Jerry Rawlings Has Taken His Ndc With Him – Bernard Allotey Jacobs.
By James Kwabena Bomfeh.
The former Central Regional Chairman of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Benard Allotey Jacobs, has said he is inclined to believe that the late Jerry John Rawlings, Founder of the party, has taken the party to his grave due to the lack of direction and recent happenings in the party.
He spoke during a panel discussion, on last Friday’s approval of six ministerial appointees of President Akufo-Addo. According to him, they have done it to Koku Anydoho, Stephen Atubiga and now they are doing it to about 33 Members of Parliament.
“I have been a National Executive member of the party, and I know the history of the party. The young ones coming don’t know how the formation of NDC came about,” Allotey Jacobs said, adding that a civilized party like the NDC are raining curses on each other.

“..They don’t know how the formation of the NDC even came about … we have gentlemen and ladies who have joined the party and you look at them, you listen to what they say and you ask youself, Is NDC not metamorphosing into CPP?
Today, Rawlings is dead and gone, the man who formed his party. I am inclined to believe that Flt. Lt. Jerry Rawlings has taken his NDC with him, says Bernard Allotey Jacobs
He claimed the election of a leader of Parliament is always done at the National Executive Committee meeting, in the presence of all MPs who vote to elect who they feel can lead them.
“That is how the party is, that is , I am saying there is something wrong somewhere or Flt Lt. Jerry John Rawlings has died with his NDC just like how Nkrumah died with his CPP.”
A large num of taking a decision because the person has received money, it is to insult the individual and deny the individual of his individuality, to say the person has no mind of his or hers to make decisions.”
