The MP for Lower Manya, Michael Teye Nyaunu has admitted that he goofed with his statement that former President Rawlings wanted the exit of Johnson Aseidu Nketia as general secretary of the NDC and the refund of the judgment debt paid Alfred Woyome to the state before he reconciles with President Mills.

A delegation of chiefs and other traditional rulers from the Volta Region under the umbrella of Royals for Peace and Development earlier this week met with former President Jerry John Rawlings and his wife, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings in an attempt to establish the root cause of the strained relations between them and the leadership of the National Democratic Congress.

As a fallout from the meeting, the Lower Manya MP told some media houses that among the key requirements that were quoted by the former president before his reconciliation with the President Mills is the resignation of the NDC general secretary who is said to have made derogatory remarks about the ex-President.

Also, the former president is said to have demanded that the judgment debts awarded to Alfred Agbesi Woyome is refunded in full among others before he (Rawlings) will consider joining the party on the campaign platform.

However, the office of the former President Thursday issued a statement denying the claims being attributed to the former president by the Lower Manya MP, Michael Teye Nyaunu.

In the light of this new development, the MP has admitted that his earlier claims though were truly discussed in the said meeting was not an outcome of the ex-president's meeting with the chiefs.

He apologized for the goof and insisted that this would not cause a strain in his relationship with the former President.
