In his book, “working with Rawlings”, Prof. Ahwoi alleges that, Mr. Rawlings had a strained relationship with his former Vice President so much so that he was urging people like businessman Eddy Annan and Ato Ahwoi to contest Prof. Mills in the flagbearer race.
By 2010 when Prof. Mills was President, Mr. Rawlings had become his chief critique with his criticisms nearly causing Prof. Mills to resign, Prof. Ahwoi alleges.
In the book, Prof. Ahwoi tries to unravel what had caused the rift between Jerry John Rawlings and Prof. Atta Mills.
Among the opinions he shares in the book is one by the current flagbearer for the NDC ahead of the 2020 elections, John Dramani Mahama.
Prof. Ahwoi writes, former “President John Dramani Mahama felt that the incessant attacks that President Rawlings launched against President Mills were unfair.
“He traced the cause of the attacks to President Mills’ refusal to prosecute members of the previous Kuffuor administration.
“He said President Rawlings appeared to have a problem particularly with former President Kufuor and was unhappy that President Mills had allowed him (Kufuor) to live “a comfortable life”.
“John Mahama said President Mills used to complain to him about President Rawlings’ attacks and he had no doubt that the attacks affected President Mills psychologically.
