ALLOTEY JACOBS REPLIES OWUSU BEMPAH

The NDC communication officer at the Central Region, Mr Bernard Allotey Jacobs has defended President Mills’ idea to meet former President Rawlings to trash out differences.
He stated that the President Mills will use dialogue to settle any internal differences that might have occurred in the Party.
Mr Bernard Allotey Jacobs says NDC remains resolute ahead of the elections adding that NDC ship is not sinking as been stated by the Ernest Owusu Bempeh.
He made these statements when the director of operations for the Friends of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings (FONKA), Owusu Bempah stated that President John Mills’ claim that he is making an effort to meet former President Rawlings is hypocritical.
He says the Rawlingses will not campaign for the NDC which he describes as a sinking ship, and President Mills hypocritical statement cannot change that.
But Bernard Allotey Jacobs says the NDC will be stronger ahead of the elections.

The Editor-in-Chief of the Searchlight newspaper, Ken Kuranchie says Koku Anyidoho’s plans to deny contact with the President is a clear indication the President does not care for all.
