Former President Jerry John Rawlings has criticised former Foreign Affairs Minister Hanna Tetteh for maltreating his wife, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings on several occasions.

According to the Founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), he would have grabbed any chance to campaign against Ms Tetteh who was then contesting the Awutu-Senya West constituency seat in 2016 on the ticket of the NDC.

In an address delivered at a Town Hall meeting of cadres and NDC activists at the Arts Centre in Accra on Saturday, Mr Rawlings said the former minister showed disrespect to the former First Lady at several high profile functions including squeezing Mrs Rawlings’ hand during handshake at an independence anniversary parade gathering.

He indicated that he would have focused his energy at the “Central region against our own candidate called Hanna Tetteh” if he had the energy to involve himself in campaign activities during the 2016 polls.

Former President Jerry John Rawlings in the attached video explains the conduct of Ms Tetteh, which he described as unacceptable.
