The Office of former President Jerry Rawlings is demanding a retraction of a publication by the Daily Guide last week detailing a meeting between President Mills and the former President at the Castle, Osu. The office is also demanding an apology.
A statement signed by Kofi Adams, spokesman for Jerry Rawlings, the Daily Guide account of what transpired at the meeting was “full of lies” hence the need to set the records straight.
The publication headlined “JJ, Mills In Crunch Meeting”, said among other things that the meeting discussed the frosty relations between Rawlings and Mills, and demands by the former on President Mills as grounds for his involvement in the 2012 electioneering campaign of the ruling party.
However, according to Kofi Adams, “The recent meeting between President Mills and the Founder attended by some security Chiefs and retired Generals was held to discuss the crisis in Cote d’Ivoire and the role Ghana should be playing to resolve it. At no point during the meeting were matters involving the NDC discussed.
“Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings and Captain Kojo Tsikata were not present at that meeting.
“It is thus a lie for Daily Guide to state that: “The agenda on the table was “sack the greedy bastards and get my support, or maintain them and face Nana Konadu at the NDC congress” later next year.”
Below is the full statement from the office of former President Rawlings
