The Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman -Rawlings (FONKAR) would want to register our
indignation at a statement purportedly issued by Functional Executive Committee
(FEC) of the NDC and signed by the Chairman Dr Kwabena Adjei under the cover of
reacting to charges by FONKAR on Vice President John Dramani Mahama accusing him
of denigrating the founder Jerry John Rawlings, virtually declared Dela Coffie ,
our communications Director wanted.
“The NDC wants to make it clear that it does not know anyone by the name Dela
Coffie. Neither does the party recognize FONKAR nor any such groups and their
purported executives”.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the Party shall fish out and identify the likes of
Dela Coffie and deal with them in accordance with the relevant provisions of the
Party’s Constitution”.
How could FEC know all NDC members? There is no political party anywhere which
knows all its members. Unless you want to introduce exclusionism now that we're
in power. To say that you don't know certain people is therefore totally
unnecessary.
FONKAR is wondering what Dr. Kwabena Adjei means by ‘’the party shall fish out
the likes of Dela Coffie and deal with them in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the party’s constitution? How do you intend to fish out Dela
Coffie? Is Dela Coffie hiding?
FONKAR want to state categorically that Dela Coffie is a card bearing member of
the NDC and a known youth activist who has never hidden his true identity.
In the last 48 hours, serious attempt have been made on the life of our
communication Director and we want to make it clear that if anything happen to
Dela Coffie, FONKAR would hold Dr. Kwabena Adjei responsible.
We also wish to caution the leadership of the NDC to be wary of these intrigues
and their dire consequences for the party.
It is also important to state that groups don't have to be officially recognized
by the party structure to operate and organize in this country provided they
don't claim to be official organs. FONKAR has never claim to be an official
organ of the NDC and we will continue with our activities without fear or
favour.
Rather than trying to clump down on FONKAR, the FEC should deal with parallel
structures within the party such as Association of Regional Chairman which is
alien to the NDC constitution.
FONKAR is not accountable to the NDC even though our members are largely from
the NDC. We are resolute and are unfaced by Dr. Kwabena Adjei’s treat and will
continue adhering, preserving and defending the ideals of Jerry Rawlings.
We in the FONKAR are ready to defend the Jerry Rawlings legacy - the legacy
certain elements within the party want to either usurp or destroy - even if it
will cost us our lives.
Long live FONKAR! Long live the Rawlingses !! Long live NDC!!!

Signed
Ransford Chatman Vanni-Amoah ( Founder)
