I’m not on talking terms with Mrs. Rawlings because I defended Akufo-Addo – Captain Smart

•Radio Personality Captain Smart has said a move by him to defend the personality of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has earned him a sour relationship with Mrs. Agyeman Rawlings

• According to him, wife of the late President Rawlings sometime back, raised doubts about his capacity as a lawyer

• Captain Smart also cited how he referred Mrs. Agyeman Rawlings to an instance where Mr. Akufo-Addo was involved in a lawsuit on behalf of the Ivorian President

Godsbrain Blessed Captain Smart has disclosed that the wife of the late former President of Ghana Jerry John Rawlings, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings is at loggerheads with him because he defended Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

According to him, there was an instance in the past where Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings sought to question Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's authenticity as a lawyer but he defended him.

“When I was in Kumasi, I think Fox FM then we called Nana Agyeman Konadu Rawlings and she said Nana Addo is not a lawyer. I told her point-blank that when you (Akufo-Addo) were litigating on behalf of the President of Ivory Coast where was she? Then she became silent. I stood up for you (Akufo-Addo) and from that day until today, Nana Agyeman Konadu Rawlings has never spoken to me but I don’t care.”

Captain Smart indicated that since that incident, the former first Lady has refused to talk to him and has even avoided him anytime they meet in close range.

He said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is currently being destroyed under President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo's leadership and he will not stop until the right things are done.
