Rawlings will die first if...Kennedy Agyapong

Kennedy Agyapong, New Patriotic party (NPP) MP for Assin North has said that former president Jerry John "Rawlings will be killed, his wife will be killed, his children will be killed and all the people in his house will be killed if the coming December elections degenerate into violence."

He was speaking to NPP faithful at Cape-Coast as part of Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo's team to thank delegates for his election as flagbearer of the NPP.

Setting the ball rolling at the gathering, Kennedy Agyapong asked the press to capture what he was about to say.
He went on and declared: "If the December election turns into violence, Rawlings will be killed, his wife will be killed, his children will be killed, all the people in his house will be killed."

During the presentation, his colleagues many times stood up and tapped him on the shoulders for him to tone down.

The Assin North, MP now a media mogul referred to the sing-song chorus of the NDC that they will win the December polls and assured the faithful that there was no couse for alarm.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, the only reason why NDC elements have the guts to threaten them is that NPP officials are corrupt.

He quickly juxtaposed that members of the NDC are also corrupt and challenged Rawlings to tell the people of Ghana where he got the four pick-ups he offered Mrs Sankara, former First Lady of Burkina Faso when the husband was killed in 1987.

Nine out of the seventeen of the aspirants accompanied the flagbearer. They were all in good cheer suggesting that they are happy with the selection of Nana Akufo Addo.

On his part, Nana Ohene Ntow, General Secretary of the NPP asked the faithful if Professor Evans Attah Mills' declaration that Ghana would be like Kenya if the NPP rigged the upcoming December election is good.

One of the participants replied him in a very low tone "is NPP going to steal the election? It is dangerous to twist the will of the people."

Osafo Maafo in his address pooh-poohed NDC saying God will turn a deaf hear to the prayers of the opposition.

He said it was the NDC's prayer that the Legon Congress would fail so that the party will split. He said God loves NPP, hence it will not happen today or tomorrow.

He advised Rawlings to allow NDC to function as a party and to stop dictating to it.

Osafo Maafo said he was at a loss as to how Rawlings will sit in Accra and select a parliamentary candidate in Akwatia in the Eastern Region. Dan Botwe, another defeated presidential aspirant, urged party members to put jubilation aside and work hard for victory since it will not come to them on a silver platter.
