The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia claims President Akufo-Addo is hijacking the funeral of late Jerry John Rawlings.
He accused that Akufo-Addo so far assumed a posture of sidelining the National Democratic Congress, the political party the late ex-president founded, from his funeral processes.
He accused;
“We were sorely disappointed that the President of the Republic even in issuing a statement of condolences refused or failed to recognize the fact that President Rawlings was the founder of the NDC. It is against all the different practices we have been engaged in, in the past, as far as the death of prominent members of the two political parties is concerned.”
Meanwhile, the NDC, led by Mr. Mahama, held a meeting with a high-powered committee tasked to coordinate the funeral activities of the former President.
Former President Jerry John Rawlings died at aged 73 on Thursday, November 12, 2020 while on admission at the Korle-bu .
He, however, left behind a wife and four children.
