Former President Rawlings
Former President Jerry John Rawlings has demanded for immediate punishment of the youth groups who threatened former President John Mahama.
Former President Rawlings stressed that it is utterly inappropriate for a youth group, and other politically blinded persons to have insulted the former President.
Some youth groups in the Ashanti Region threatened to deal Former President Mahama and the NDC following the denial by the office of the ex president that Asantehene Otumfuor Osei Tutu II advised him to accept the 2016 election results.
Mr. Rawlings also called on Mr. Mahama to find a way of sorting out his differences between his camp and the Asantehene.
“Fellow citizens, when the dust settles on the issue of President Mahama and Otumfuo, I hope we finally recognise how utterly inappropriate it is for a youth group and other politically blinded persons to send threats to a former president of the nation.”
“I trust our loyalty to party colours has not blighted our traditional reverence for leadership.Let us also hope that President Mahama will find a way of sorting this out with the Asantehene as he has offered to.”
He futher called on the appropriate institutions to ensure the youth involved in sending threats to former President Mahama are reprimanded.
“And I hope the youth will receive the appropriate reprimand at the end of it all.”
