Don’t Fight Over Rawlings’ Body – Asantehene Appeals To NDC, NPP
The Monarch of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II has appealed to the ruling NPP and the opposition NDC to stop fighting over the body of the deceased former President Jerry John Rawlings.
The Asantehene called for a healthy collaboration between all parties involved in the burial process of the late former President in order to give the departed statesman a befitting funeral and burial.
Speaking when the family of Rawlings, led by Victor Gbeho, Dr. Zanetor Rawlings and Kimathi Rawlings, called on him at the Manhyia Palace to officially inform him of Rawlings’s death, Otumfuo eulogized the late president and called for unity.
“There shouldn’t be any confusion in his absence, we should all unite and give him a peaceful and befitting burial and funeral rites that he truly deserves after his significant services for the state,” Otumfuo is quoted by the DailyGuide newspaper.
“I remember after the 2000 elections when he (Rawlings) was supposed to exit the political office. He told me to arrange a meeting between him and Kufuor so that we could all arrange for a peaceful transition of power.
“This was a former military man, who has transformed over the years to love and appreciate the democratic system of government. This laudable action that he took helped to ensure peace and unity in the country at the time.” Otumfuor recounted.

Group Uncovers Names Of NPP Bigwigs Sponsoring Tribal, Religious Campaign Against Bawumia
An active youth group aligned with the governing NPP, STUNNAD, says it has uncovered names of persons behind a vile propaganda against the person of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
It said the covert activities of these persons including some northerners is to do all they can to sow seed of discord, calculated at scuttling the presidential ambition of the second gentleman of the land.
“Some individuals have been deployed by some NPP big-wigs to spread negative tribal comments purposely to misinform the general public about why NPP should not present Dr. Bawumia as its next flagbearer.”
Well meaning Ghanaians have been called upon by the youth group to disregard such negative activities and condemn any ethnocentrism in Ghanaian politics.
STUNNAD has therefore threatened to release names of persons behind the attacks.
“We caution the groups and the individuals as well as their sponsors to immediately put a stop to it, else STUNNAD will not hesitate to ‘name and shame’ persons behind this unnecessary and dangerous politics.”
Below is the full statement
Stop the Tribal/Religious Plans against Dr. Bawumia immediately – STUNNAD warns!
STUNNAD through its activities has discovered a very dangerous tribal/religious agenda set-up by some individuals within the NEW Patriotic Party across the country aiming at attacking Dr. Mahmud Bawumia’s political life. Some individuals have been deployed by some NPP big-wigs to spread negative tribal comments purposely to misinform the general public about why NPP should not present Dr. Bawumia as its next flag bearer. We are by this statement calling on all well-meaning Ghanaians, especially members of the New Patriotic Party to condemn and desist from such agenda, knowing that it has the potency to destroy the country.
We caution the groups and the individuals as well as their sponsors to immediately put a stop to it, else STUNNAD will not hesitate to “name and shame” persons behind this unnecessary and dangerous politics. It is important to note that the Constitution of the Republic clearly speaks against such ethnocentrism. Article 17(1) and (2) of the Constitution, 1992 explicitly states that “All persons shall be equal before the law. (2) A person shall not be discriminated against on grounds of gender, race, colour, ethnic origin, religion, creed or social or economic status. The constitution further explained in clause (3) of the same Article that “for the purpose of this article, “discriminate” means to give different treatment to different persons attributable only or mainly to their respective descriptions by race, place of origin, political opinions, colour, gender, occupation, religion or creed…”
It must be stated that the NPP party was built on a tradition devoid of such tribalism and religious campaigns aim at attacking its members who aspire to lead the party at any level. It is therefore wrong for any member or individual to incites and instigate tribal/religious attack against any member. We therefore warn and condemn comments such as “Ghana is not ready for a Muslim cum Northerner as a president”, “we Akans/Christians are not fools to vote for a Muslim as a president” , “Dr. Bawumia has circled himself with only Northerners and Muslims,” etc.
Again, we like to state that we are fully aware of some gland schemes by some Northerners and Muslims who are not in support of Dr. Bawumia’s political aspiration but they however, pretend as though as they are and unintelligently spew these dangerous tribal/religious comments cunningly targeting mainly some naïve Akans/Christians to mislead them to campaign against the political aspiration of H.E Dr. Mahmud Bawumia.
In conclusion, we like to urge all Ghanaians, especially the NPP members to disregard any such agenda and plans by any person within or without the party. We believe that every person must be judged based on the quality of his/her conduct and life, devoid of any socio-ethnic discriminations.
Signed…..
Chris Arthur, National President
Salahu-Deen Musah …… Secretary
Papa Akwasi Oppong-Frimpong – Director of Programs.
