Professor Mills contested and lost the general elections in 2000 and 2004 but finally won the 2008 general elections.
From the very day that President Mills was sworn in as President of Ghana, the NPP started campaigning against him through a strategy of vilification and throwing anything that could discredit him at him. Surprisingly, the NPP was helped by no other person than the founder of the NDC who said that Professor Mills has already lost the 2012 general election which was two years away.
J.J Rawlings further broke the camel's back by asking the Electoral Commission to launch a full scale investigation into claims by the NPP that they were robbed of victory in the 2008 election under mysterious circumstances. The use of the word “INVESTIGATIONS” created an impression that the elections were deliberately mismanaged for the purpose of facilitating the victory of the NDC in which he Rawlings spent sleepless nights to campaign for in 2008.
I think it was very irresponsible. I don’t know what Rawlings has against the NDC-a party he founded, and together, we sacrificed extremely to build into a formidable foundation 24 years ago.
We (Cadres) know a lot about him, and I think he is preparing himself gradually for a World class humiliation, but we won’t say it now.
Jerry Rawlings must examine his conscience and come out to tell NDC members in particular the truth, and Ghanaians in general because he is hiding something from the NDC and the Ghanaian people.
How can the Rawlingses continue to provoke cadres daily in this way? Former president Rawlings would set a very bad example for himself, his children and generations yet unborn if he refuses to let the black cat out of the bag. As time passes by, there would be a time when some cadres would take it upon themselves to disclose the secrets of Rawlings which would rip him off the respect he has worked for in life because he was the very person who imposed Prof. Mills on the NDC by force in 1996, so Mills was the number one Rawlings boy.
J.J. Rawlings must search for his soul and examine his conscience and tell the truth because what he has done to the late Prez Mills and the NDC, and what he's still doing to President Mahama and the NDC is unforgivable, and the Cadres would never sit down and allow him to do what he likes. We no go sit down and watch as if we don't know what to do.
He must search for his soul and ask himself if he has the effrontery to help the opponents of the NDC to attack and destroy the party he founded with blood.
