A group calling itself the Movement for Atta Mills 2012 is accusing former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings of undermining the government of Atta Mills for his defeat at Election 2012.According to Gabriel Aggah, National Coordinator of the group, Mrs. Rawlings is the brain behind the increasing disaffection and “insults” against President John Mills.“I think that she is behind all these posters that have come; she is behind all these filthy talks that some people are using on the president within our party.“I think it doesn’t show that this is a person who would want to let the party win the election in 2012.“I will not be surprised if the former president and his wife will be working very hard to let the NDC lose the elections in 2012 if President Evans Atta-Mills is not going to be replaced,” Mr. Aggah told Luv FM’s Elton John Brobbey.According to him, the supposed influence of Mrs. Rawlings over the party is only a myth, adding she would receive a resounding humiliation if she dares compete against President Mills in the upcoming National Delegates Congress.His statements come days after another group - the Footsoldiers of the NDC, outdoored campaign posters dubbed Konadu for 2012.The footsoldiers maintain that Mrs. Rawlings is the right person to redeem the sinking image of the party and to restore confidence in the supporters at the grassroots.The group remains anonymous and the former First Lady, according to her spokesperson, Kofi Adams, does not know the group.Barely forty eight hours later, another group has sprang up, pledging its unflinching support for the sitting president and deepening what political analysts describe as a teething power struggle within the ruling party.The group was fierce in its criticisms of the Rawlingses.“I want to assure them (Rawlingses) Ghanaians and the delegates of the NDC and the masses are solemnly behind Prof Mills and they will work very hard for him to achieve his second term elections.“If only she has the zeal we are waiting for her to come and contest Prof Mills in our next coming national delegates congress and she will see that the delegates of the NDC what they did for Prof Mills at Legon, they will repeat it for Mills and this time it will be massive", Aggah said.According to him, the NDC as a party is better off under Prof Mills than under ex-President Jerry Rawlings, saying many footsoldiers of the party have been given jobs as NADMO coordinators, caterers of the school feeding programme and as personnel of the National Youth Employment Policy.
