A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ledzekuku Constituency, Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, has urged the rank and file of the party not to restrain former President Rawlings from his 'Boom' Speeches because of the excitement he adds to the political campaigns.
He also asked the NDC Campaign Machine to include the former President and founder of the NDC, Jerry John Rawlings and his wife Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings in the scheme of things in terms of party activities to help the party win more votes, and kick out the government in the forthcoming December elections.
He said he does not agree with the assertion that former President Rawlings's effusions destroy the party rather than doing good to it, adding that, in his view, Rawlings must not be made to shut up today or tomorrow as some party men are asking him to do, particularly when Rawlings knows very well that all is not well in the party of which he is Founder and Father.
The former parliamentary candidate said he believes the former President knows what is best for the party; and that is why he cannot sit down and watch the party lose out on the grounds gradually.
According to him, Rawlings as an experienced politician, knows when something is wrong and something could be done to correct it, stressing that the reason why few people in the NDC challenge Rawlings is that they often come to realise in the long run that he is right on issues he has often raised on platforms.
Implicitly in agreement with the statement that Nana Akufo-Addo is not a lawyer, he said if it is not true that the flag-bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo is not a lawyer, why hasn't any of the leading members of the NPP come out to challenge what his wife said.
"It is some of the members of the NDC, who came out to defend Nana. Why didn't the NPP themselves defend Nana. It is because they believe what Rawlings said to the effect that Nana Akufo-Addo is not a lawyer is true," he claimed.
On the chances of the Presidential candidates of the two major parties in Election 2008, Moore said Prof. Atta Mills will take Akufo-Addo by surprise.
He predicted that Akufo-Addo will suffer significant defeat, both in the parliamentary and presidential elections, adding that the 39 seats currently occupied by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ashanti and the other regions like the Central Region would be snatched from the NPP by the NDC.
He predicted that the NDC's votes in 2008 will increase tremendously almost by 100%, while that of the NPP will significantly decline, since Ghanaians are highly disappointed with the NPP Government.
"Crime, corruption and even the 49% of the national income being spent by the President, family members, school and classmates and other Government officials is not anything that will let Ghanaians vote for the NPP", he stated.
He urged all independent candidates and the supporters to join hands with the NDC, so as to overtake the NPP in the 2008 general elections adding that the top men and women in the party must also make sure that losing candidates from the just ended primaries in some regions do not contest as independent candidate, as that will not help the party to win.
Ashie-Moore said he personally does not agree with the assertion that, the NDC has no money and that people were not supporting the party financially.
"The party is not broke, people are helping financially but not passing through the right channel. I will ask that if somebody wants to help he should pass through the right channel," he urged.
