The much-touted NDC delegates Congress started Friday with no signs of the allegations and counter allegations that have attended the process so far abating anytime soon.If anything, supporters of both camps are engaging in a last gasp attempt at running down their opponent, in order to promote their candidate.Some did not fail to include the leader of the opposition New Patriotic Party leader, Nana Akufo Addo in their criticisms.Allotey Jacobs, a staunch supporter of President John Mills' candidature and Central Regional Propaganda Secretary of the NDC has accused Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (FONKAR) of deliberately tearing down posters of the president.Allotey Jacobs who was speaking on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM, and from an improvised Asempa FM studio mounted at the Sunyani Corronation Park, venue for the congress, said members of FONKAR deliberately tore into shreds posters belonging to the president in order to make their candidate more visible.Responding to claims that supporters of the Mills campaign team have been paid and are showing allegiance to the president to save their jobs, Allotey Jacobs maintained that the FONKAR supporters cannot claim to be supporting Nana Konadu on a pro-bono basis.He said the FONKAR group is largely enjoying the largesse of the 19 years of wealth amassed by the Rawlingses.Allotey Jacobs believed President Mills will win Saturday's election by a landslide, declaring, "Konadu will not get five per cent."He also accused the leader of the NPP and its flag-bearer Nana Akufo-Addo of running an "artificial" listening tour.He said Akufo-Addo is too arrogant a person to be said to going on a listening tour.
He stated that the NPP leader "has no personality" and "will never become the country's president."Another member of the Mills campaign team, Peter Boamah Otokunor said the FONKAR members are nothing but the handiwork of the NPP. He claims the FONKAR members have been planted by the NPP to cause chaos and disaffection within the NDC.He mentioned one Prince Adjei who he said has been a panelist on many radio shows speaking on behalf of the NPP but all of a sudden claims to have joined the NDC and a FONKAR member.Kofi Adams, spokesperson to the Rawlingses believes the president has not done enough to be retained as the party's leader.Citing the controversial Vodafone deal which he claims was pregnant with corruption under the erstwhile Kufuor regime, Kofi Adams said President Mills has within the two-and-a-half years of assuming power, shockingly turned a blind eye to the corruption infested deal.He said President Mills' loud silence on the matter comes at a time when an NPP member of Parliament P.C. Appiah-Ofori is waging a crusade for President Mills to look into the deal.Adams insists the president cannot be trusted enough to deal ruthlessly with corruption, stating, the time has come for Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings to steer the affairs of the NDC.Story by Nathan Gadugah/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
