The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has distanced the party from an open apology rendered to former President Rawlings by its National Vice Chairperson, Anita Desoso.
Madam Desoso in a much-publicised apology during a June 4th commemorative event at Madina in Accra went on her knees before Mr Rawlings to ask for forgiveness for certain comments made about him by party members.
She pleaded: “Now to my father – founder (Rawlings), I know your children we've erred, and I also know that you're a human being and you have also done something; maybe it is not right and I was so happy when I heard you say that, when you brought that statement out rendering an apology – you are a hero. You are a hero.
"This shows that what you have taught me is still within me. If you are a leader, be prepared to say that I'm sorry. If you're a child, be prepared to say that daddy I’m sorry. So, I'll take this opportunity on behalf of the party to kneel down before my dad – please forgive us. Let us come together to build this country”.
However, according to Mr Nketiah, Madam Desoso acted unilaterally and without the prior consent of the NDC executives when she delivered that apology.
"I am talking to you Chief Executive of the party and the person who keeps the records of decisions of the party. I am telling you that we never at any point, discussed the possibility or anything about approaching founder (Mr Rawlings) and apologising for anything," the scribe of the main opposition political party said in an interview.
Mr Nketiah added: "As we speak now, nobody knows the offence for which Anita was apologising for . We called her to a meeting after the incident trying to find out what offence she was referring to but she couldn't answer, So we consider it to be her personal issue with the founder".

Do not drive Rawlings to the grave because he is not God and can never be god of Volta Region. Even his wife has deserted the party and broken the blood covenant with NDC why do you think others can't. As for this paganism, minus me and my household. Obiara nye obiara
General mosquito, do you think you are wiser than your Vice chairperson?
ASEIDU Nketia IS A COMPLETE F00L, THIS WILL MAKE NDC REMAIN IN OPPOSITION FOREVER, YOU WILL NEVER LEARN FROM THE PAST. HE LACKS WISDOM AND IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR HIM TO THINK NDC CAN WIN POWER WITHOUT THE COOPERATION OF RAWLINGS, IT IS NEVER GOING TO BE POSSIBLE. HOW I WISH THE ELDERS WILL CHASE THIS F00L1SH AND SKELETON MOSQUITO AND HIS LIKES OUT OF NDC EXECUTIVES.
Thank you, General Asiedu Nkekti. Am happy we have bold people like you in the party. Unlike those cowards who think NDC will die forever if they tell Rawlings the truth. Rawlings can never destroy this party for his selfish and personal interest. Does he (Rawlings) think he is the wise person in the party? he should spare our ears. As for General Mosquito, you are my MENTOR
HAS RAWLINGS APOLOGISED TO THOSE HE WRONGED AND THOSE HE KILLED DURING THE PNDC ERA? SOME OF THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE STILL ALIVE. I LOVE RAWLINGS VERY MUCH AND WILL BE READY TO STAND BY HIM WHEN HE IS IN ANY DIFFICULTIES AS A HUMAN BEING BUT WILL NOT CONDONE HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE NDC PARTY AND SOME OF HIS UNCALLED FOR UTTERANCES JUST BECAUSE OF HIS PERSONAL INTEREST(S)
We the people of the volta region are wise enough to know that Rawlings want to use us as a bargaining chip. If he really loves the people of the region he wouldn't be playing with our emotions by trying to break the Ndc which those of us from the region loves so much. You keep creating confusion for us and think we voltarians will continue to love you. We have seen your tricks and will not fall for it any longer. You can be founder, but you are only one man. Founders die. We can't continue to show you love if it is clear you want to destroy our party.
Aseidu Nketia you should know the PARTY is for RAWLINGS Family and you must be careful the way you talk to HIM.Mr. Rawlings fire this man for us because he does not respect the ELDERLY.
asiedu tank you for insulting our God from Volta we are going to vote against NDC for insulting jj our god
So JJ is right in describing Anita De Crooked as a crook. Hahahaaaa
The likes of Asiedu Nketiah and John Mahama have no respect for either founder Rawlings or people from the Volta region. The last time it was John Dramani Mahama who insulted Rawlings with a "volta god" mantra and today its Asiedu Nketiah who sees nothing wrong with their treatment of founder Rawlings. But I won't blame mosquito because he and his likes have denigrated the person and family of Rawlings since 2013. We in the VOLTA REGION WILL TELL YOU THAT WE MAKE THE NDC AND WITHOUT US THE NDC IS NOTHING AND RAWLINGS IS OUR god.
