NDC Hire Crowd For Rawlings

… ?5,000 PER PERSON TO AIRPORT
Ex-President Rawlings expected arrival from a foreign trip yesterday according to the DAILY GUIDE , was punctuated with a subtle arrangement to re-enact some of the characteristics of the good old days of the NDC, of mobilizing crowds to receive the “old man” who loves such spectacles.

A hushed activities by some party functionaries in densely populated areas like Nima and Mamobi yesterday afternoon, to have many people as possible to go to welcome the founder on his arrival at the Kotoka International Airport in the evening, proved unsuccessful as the crowd never turned up as expected, the paper reports.

Only one of the two buses assigned at the Dunia Cinema location got full.

At another location where a bus had taken a position, only kids were seen enjoying the prospect of being treated to a jolly ride and five thousand cedi reward.
