Rawlings only visited Mills to check on his health - Adams

It seems the apparent tension between the founder of the National Democratic Congress and President Mills has simmered down after it was revealed that Mr. Rawlings stormed the Castle a week ago to engage the President in a brief meeting.

Spokesperson to the former first family, Kofi Adams in an interview on Joy News stated that Mr. Rawlings visited President Mills to check on his health at the Castle, OSU, after the President returned from the United States where he had gone for routine medical check-up.

“Rawlings visited Mills to see how he was doing, it was a short meeting. I did not sit in the meeting but it was short and a cordial one” Kofi Adams said.

Mr. Adams however strongly denied a Daily Guide report that President Mills was seeking international help to broker peace with the former military leader.

Daily Guide on Monday reported that a meeting was arraigned for Mr. Rawlings and President Mills in far away Equatorial Guinea under the auspices of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo to help solve the bitterness between the two.

The paper further reported that the meeting was of "much interest and reportedly, there was excitement in the gait and parlance of the two groups before their return to Ghana".

But, Mr. Adams said though former President Rawlings was in Equatorial Guinea, President Mills was not there and there was no meeting between them in that country.

“Any paper that would report that Rawlings and Mills met in Equatorial Guinea is untrue”.

He added that any newspaper publication of a meeting between the two must be regarded as a fabrication.**
