PRESS STATEMENT – FRIENDS OF NANA KONADU AGYEMAN-RAWLINGS (FONKAR)
LET’S PRESERVE THE RAWLINGS HERITAGE

The Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (FONKAR) has noted with deep regret the statement attributed to the Honourable James Agyenim-Boateng deputy minister of Information on the issue of the accommodation for the Rawlingses.

FONKAR take offense to the reckless and cold-hearted comments by the minister that, the Rawlingses have rejected all provisional accommodation offered them by government. Whiles at it, Agyenim-Boateng lie through his teeth that Mr. Rawlings did liked the facility but the wife rejected it. The fact on the ground as it were does not support such reckless assertion and we are unnerved by the minister’s shallow-mindedness and his attempt to turn the Rawlingses against each other.

Just as we thought that Herbert Mensah the man in the centre of the negotiation has clarified the issue, Omane Boamah deputy of Science and technology reiterated the earlier position by James Agyenim-Boateng on Joy Fm newsfile programme on Saturday 10th July 2010.

FONKAR wanders why responsible ministers of state will display such flowery stupidity, mental incompetence and unbridled arrogance in this sensitive issue. To suggest that Mrs. Rawlings rejected the facility on the grounds of preference rather than security considerations is ridiculous, unfounded and deplorable stunt. We call on the Chief of Staff to come clear on this issue as what has been put out in the public domain is nothing but a deliberate lie.

We are amazed at the level of extreme obsession by people in government to run down the Rawlingses and will not sit by and allow “strangers” in the NDC to destroy what has been built for well over 19 years.

FONKAR is compelled to issue this statement because it satisfies a conviction that, the display of unmatched folly by James Agyenim-Boateng, Omane Boamah and their likes, by spewing out nonsense, is becoming unbecoming.

Rather than tolerate plurality, the President and his advisors have continue to use their position as a platform to engage in behaviors that are untypical of the NDC.

We call on the President to show leadership and get rid of these political vultures and whiles at it, must not leave the party at the mercy of “agent provocateurs” whose sole aim is to destroy the party with their greediness and politics of attrition.

We also call on the Rawlingses to remain calm in the face of undue provocation. Rather than engage these nutters and rabble rousers and fall knee-deep into their maggot-filled cesspit, the Rawlingses must exercise maximum restraint to preserve their nobility and stature among their admirers. After all there will be no NDC without the Rawlingses.

FONKAR will do anything to deny these unscrupulous elements the unsavory reputation they are desperately seeking to earn but if they continue with their ridicule to discredit attitude against the Rawlingses, we will have no alternative but to declare them WANTED in the NDC.

LONG LIVE THE RAWLINGSES
LONG LIVE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
LONG LIVE GHANA
