Former President Jerry John Rawlings has commended the people of Kyebi in the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Area for demonstrating against some 'distasteful' comments made by the Ashanti regional secretary of the NDC, Mr. Kwame Zu.
“I'm glad the Okyeman citizenry bared its teeth enough to elicit an apology from the NDC branch responsible,” the former President wrote on Twitter.
Kwame Zu courted controversy when he made some comments against Okyehene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin II; which the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council has described as abusive and provocative.
Even though he has apologised, the Council insists on a number of things NDC needs to do before they will be forgiven and this includes “a ritual pacification to appease His Majesty the Okyenhene”
The NDC founder in reaction said: “Let's hope our party can curb the use of strong language by some in their political discourse. I'm glad the Okyeman citizenry bared its teeth enough to elicit an apology from the NDC branch responsible. The genuine NDC borne out of the AFRC/PNDC does not disrespect people. NDC stands for natural justice, discipline and respect. Let's not sway from these ideals.”

Awwwww the end of a man. Rawlings paa be this?
SPEWING INSULTS AND PURE LIES AGAINST TRADITIONAL LEADERS, THE CLERGY, OPPOSITION LEADERS AND GHANAIANS WHO DO NOT SHARE IN THEIR BUGA BUGA OUTDATED SOCIALIST PROPAGANDIST AND PURE STILLING POLITICS, NDC LEADERSHIP HAS OVERTIME MADE IT A STRATEGY TO COME AT YOU. IF NOT, HOW COME NO SINGLE LEADER IN THE PARTY HAS EVERY SPOKEN AGAINST ITS COMMUNICATIONS WHO ENGAGE IN THIS DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR. FROM MAHAMA TO PARTY EXECUTIVES, TO EVEN COMMUNICATORS IN THE HAMLET, IT IS THEIR HALLMARK AND UNPRODUCTIVE STRATEGY. THE LEAKED TAPE OF THE PARTY CHAIRMAN LENDS CREDENCE TO THIS WHEN HE WAS OVER HEARD SAYING THAT THEY WILL COME AT SOME PERSONALITIES. OKYEMAN SHOULD NOT ACCEPT ANY APOLOGY. IT IS VERY DELIBERATE AND SANCTIONED BY THE ENTIRE PARTY LEADERS. IS IT NOT SAID THAT FIRST IS DELIBERATE, SECOND IS WILFUL AND THIRD OR MORE IS HABIT AND WHO SAYS INSULTS HAVE NOT BECOME A HABIT FOR NDC?
...And there they go, insulting and Elder and Founder for correcting them... I regret associating with NDC at some time in my school days. I wish i knew better
...they are so used to malicious politics that their minds cannot even imagine doing politics devoid of insults. To them, the only known way is to stay and remain in ***barred word*** baseless verbal attacks. Obayie nie fie!!! While Politics in Ghana is evolving and emerging as issue and fact-based, NDC are still in their default insulting and venom mouth state.
I'M SO DISAPPOINTED AT RAWLINGS, YOU STAND AGAINST YOUR OWN PARTY THIS WAY. YOU ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT
So Mr Rawlings hears things in this country?? Or he only hears about NDC issues. He should shut the FccK up and be a responsible citizen.
Was former president Railings in this country when Fredy Blay, the National Chairman of the NPP insulted Togbe Afede of being a drunkard? Mr. Rawllings, you are part of the woes of this country. just keep your mouth shut and allow us to think.
BARED ITS TEETH TO BITE WHO? YOU GUYS HAVE MADE THESE CLOOWNNS AS gods, WHO DOES NOTHING BUT MILKING POOR PEOPLE. WHOS IS HE? WHO CARES?
we expect you rawlings to ask anyone who insults other chiefs and elders of ndc to also bare their teeth and stop the hypocrite.
YOU BASTARD RAWLINGS THOUGHT THEM HOW TO INSULT, YOU INSULTED KOFOUR AND ***barred word*** AKUFO ADDO
