Traitors have crucified Nana Konadu – FONKAR

The Operations Manager of Friends of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings (FONKAR), the former First Lady’s campaign team, has labeled Education Minister, Betty Mould Iddrisu, Madam Cecilia Johnson and Environment, Science and Technology Minister, Sherry Ayittey as traitors for turning their backs on their long time friend.

Ernest Owusu Bempah says the three women are like the Biblical Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus Christ because they have betrayed Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings by pitching camp with President Mills.

Betty Mould Iddrisu, Cecelia Johnson and Sherry Ayittey have long been considered as staunch supporters of the Rawlingses.

Betty Mould Iddrisu was once supported by Mr and Mrs Rawlings for running mate of President Mills while Cecelia Johnson and Sherry Ayittey were close confidants of Mrs Rawlings and were an integral part of her 31st December Women’s Foundation, travelling with her to various parts of the country.

Owusu Bempah, who was a guest on Adom FM’s current affairs programme, Dea Me Hunu accused them of suddenly shying away from Nana Konadu because of their ministerial appointments as well as Ambassadorial appointments that have been given to their husbands.

He alleged that they were the detractors in the party who only care about their personal interest and not about the NDC and the country.

Ernest Owusu Bempah however stated that they are not perturbed about the defections of supporters of the Rawlingses to the camp of President because they are certain that Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings will eventually emerge as the victor in the coming Sunyani Congress since she is the people’s choice.
