J.J Rawlings Says Nana Akufo Addo is Not Corrupt & the NPP is Blessed to Have Him

Former President of Ghana and the founder of PNDC, the party which gave birth to the ruling NDC party-Jerry John Rawlings has surprisingly said, the leader of the NPP-Nana Akufo Addo is not corrupt and the party is blessed to have him.
His statement takes a deeper shape that sort of indicts the ruling government from his own quarters as corrupt when he added that the level of corruption in the country is what pushed his wife-Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings to leave the NDC to form her own party, the National Democratic Party (NDP).
He told Nigeria’s Guardian newspaper that;
“I find myself in a situation where I have moral responsibility and no executive authority. I would have wished that my moral authority could have the same influence. But that is not the case, corruption has infiltrated our institutions and their leaders so badly today that they use some kind of lens to demonstrate that you can keep your moral authority, but this is executive power at work.”
“So all I can do is to critique and advocate for my people. I can’t hide it. And I believe that was how I won the respect from the larger populace, from both sides of the political divide. I have remained principled. My wife is still standing where she is, cut off from our party that she was very responsible in building up because it became corrupted from Mills’ time,” he bemoaned.
He added; “We now fight on the terms of the opposition or the main opposition party. Fortunately for them, they have a leader who is not known for messing around with material things. The situation is so bad. So unfortunate!”
