I’ve Never Been Part of Any Plot To Attack Rawlings – Kwakye Ofosu to Prof Ahwoi

Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications team, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has denied claims by Prof Kwamena Ahwoi in his book, ‘Working With Rawlings’ that he was part of some young NDC communicators trained to ‘tame’ former President Jerry John Rawlings.

In a disclaimer issued on Wednesday August 5, Kwakye Ofosu insisted he has always being an advocate of politics without insults.

He further described as ‘inaccurate’ claims by Prof Ahwoi that the NDC had a plot to attack former President Rawlings.

The statement read, “while acknowledging that the media reports are at best an exaggeration of portions of a book authored by the highly respected Prof Kwamena Ahwoi, I wish to place on record that at no point have I been part of any plot, recruitment exercise or strategy to “talk back” at President Rawlings.”

He added, “all my contributions in the said matter were devoid of insults or aspersions as claimed by the media reports. It is worth noting that the book in question speaks about our resort to logic rather than insults. I have never required prompting or goading to speak about what I believe to be right or wrong.”

This makes Kwakye Fosu the second member of the so called ‘babies with sharp teeth’ to deny Pro Ahwoi’s allegations.

Former Communications Minister Edward Omane Boamah had also refuted the claims insisting he had always defended Prof Mills on his own accord.

“Respectfully, I need to place on record that this claim is wholly and completely inaccurate and untrue. As a young man and politician with core convictions, I was never engaged nor could I have allowed myself to be used by anyone to talk back at former President Rawlings.”

“My principled stand in defending the late President Atta Mills, without insults, against attacks I thought were underserved was borne out of my respect and appreciation of the personality of the late President Mills – the Asomdwehene, his pureness of heart and other sterling and unique qualities that he possessed to a fault,” he noted.
