The Bureau of Internal Affairs (BIA), a centre for intelligence gathering, has described the attack on Former President Jerry John Rawlings on the defeat of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as hypocritical and a bad post mortem.
The Bureau said the NDC Executives stood unconcerned as Government appointees mostly those in their youth heaped insults on the Founder and Leader of the Party, compelling him to spew out the famous phrase “babies with sharp teeth”.
Mr Godfred Nkrumah, BIA Coordinating Director said in a statement issued in Accra on Friday and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra that Flt Lt Rawlings was also described as “an oldman” who was not fit for the 2016 elections campaign, by some executives of the NDC.
It said the principles and objectives that brought Flt Lt Rawlings into the political arena was probity and accountability, hence his distaste about corruption and rumours of corruption, yet anytime he raised issues of malfeasance he was called names and vilified.
The statement claimed that some people in the Party were interested in rubbishing Rawlings than to see him as the Leader of the NDC, compelling the former President to accuse certain personalities in Government of instigating the Abacha bribe scandal to bring him into disrepute.
It accused certain personalities in Government of using resources to influence people to cause the defeat of Dr Zanetor Rawlings who stood on the ticket of the NDC to win the Klottey Korle Constituency.

How do you expect to win a serious election like this haven people lol Mizbel , Ofa K, Akua Donkor at the forefront, For God sake governance is a serious business and the earlier u see as such the better for u.
Blame game, so u guys were expecting incompetent Mahama to ve won, what would have become of us as Ghanaians, Rawlings campaigned vigorously for Prof Atta Mills in 2000 but lost the election, a child destined to die, wouldn't survive in Pops cassock
It seems those who lived in Rawling era have forgotten how vicious and vindictive he and his govt was.There was even no chance to criticize him openly and get away with it.He had 19yrs of easy ride.When you throw a ball against the wall it comes back to you and what goes around comes around.Karma working here.I don't have the slightest sympathy for Rawling on what his own party did to him.Even the constituition was all in favour of his regime and that is why the President wields so much power in Ghana and appoints people to almost all the sensitive positions in Ghana.
Oh Broda salifu ....up so little right
Asiedu Nketiah is main man who prevented JJ from helping the party.
