Konadu Shirts Out

REPORTS THAT former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings will contest the impending presidential election as an independent candidate keeps gaining currency as the days pass by.

Daily Guide has chanced upon nicely printed t-shirts of the President of the 31st December Women’s Movement which have given the indication that she might contest the polls as an independent candidate.

Last week, Daily Guide published the printed Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings posters for the December 2012 presidential poll which had been posted on some walls in Kumasi and other parts of the country.

The nicely made t-shirts have a smiling portrait of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, who is wearing a head gear, boldly printed on them.

It has the inscription ‘Vote 4 Sankofa, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, 2012’, written under the picture. There is a ‘Sankofa’ symbol just like the one that appeared on the Konadu for President 2012 posters.

The t-shirts don’t have the National Democratic Congress (NDC) written on them, just like the posters which emergence in the country raised some eyebrows among NDC supporters across the country.The Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings for President 2012 t-shirts don’t have the ruling political party’s symbol of the umbrella printed on them.

They however have the black, red, white and green colours of the ruling political party.

The back side of the white t-shirts also has the ‘Sankofa’ symbol right on top of the black, red, white and green colours of the NDC, with the word ‘Sankofa’ written beneath it.

Daily Guide gathered that about 500,000 of the t-shirts have already been ferried from Accra to the Ashanti regional capital.

The consignments, which are nicely packaged in brown boxes, also have wristbands and other paraphernalia of Nana Konadu and her presidential ambitions in the coming national elections.

Daily Guide has reliably been told that the items were ferried to Kumasi a few days ago without the knowledge of some key people including those that claim to be dyed-in-the-wool supporters of FONKAR in the city.
