On Radio Gold yesterday, the president�s communication director, Koku Anyidoho had a hard time �restraining� himself from �eating up� FONKAR boys, the political grouping that has claimed it will decide the fate of President John Mills in the 2012 elections. But while restraining himself, Koku let go high-flying denigrations to clear his chest of what he said was a long overdue retort to FONKAR�s �concoctions and fabrications� against President Mills. The publication cited a statement by FONKAR, otherwise known as Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, a splinter group in the ruling NDC which constituted the support base for the former First Lady in her attempt to wrest the presidential candidacy of the party. The statement, according to the publication, condemned the alleged rejection of the Rawlingses by President Mills and called it �a product of ill advice from the same sycophants, flatterers and ingrates who are bent on taking the NDC into opposition and destroying the Rawlings legacy for their own parochial interests.� When President Mills won the NDC presidential primary, FONKAR alleged fraud and later vowed it might not be part of the Mills campaign to retain power. A leader of the group once claimed it had enough arsenals to unmake the Mills campaign. But Koku Anyidoho said the group could virtually please itself, but warned them to mind its conduct against the President because henceforth, it would have him to contend with.
