National Democratic Congress (NDC) firebrand and a close associate of the Rawlings’ Dela Coffie has promised to release an explosive piece detailing the hypocrisy of NDC’s General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia with respect to the mourning of the late former President Jerry John Rawlings.
Mr Coffie called for the hypocrisy surrounding the mourning of Mr Rawlings to stop, stressing that attempts by some people to cry more than the bereaved must end.
“….I feel like unpacking the hypocrisy of the likes of Asiedu Nketia. I really want to, but my thoughts are just not coming together. I’ll certainly find my rhythm, and when I do, it will be very explosive. In the meantime, the hypocrisy must stop. The attempt to cry more than the bereaved must also stop,” he stated.
His comments follow allegations by Mr Asiedu Nketia that the government of President Akufo-Addo has hijacked the processes of mourning the late former President.
Mr Asiedu Nketia and Rawlings h had disagreements when Rawlings became critical of the NDC, the party he founded.
Meanwhile, Mr Coffie has also called on people to desist from taking advantage of the demise of Rawlings for political gain.
“And more importantly, those who think we’ll allow them to engage in political profiteering enterprise with the demise of President Rawlings must think again,” he wrote.

We are grieving! And rightly so the family has requested for privacy at this difficult period.
Then again, I feel like unpacking the hypocrisy of the likes of Asiedu Nkentia. I really want to, but my thoughts are just not coming together.
I’ll certainly find my rhythm, and when I do, it will be very explosive.
In the meantime, the hypocrisy must stop. The attempt to cry more than the bereaved must also stop.
And more importantly, those who think we’ll allow them to engage in political profiteering enterprise with the demise of President Rawlings must think again.
Isn’t it even offensive to learn that those who consistently berated Rawlings over the last 12years, and called him “barking dog” are today claiming ownership of him as the founder of the NDC?
It has suddenly dawned on you to fight for the same Rawlings that you lots recruited puppets to publicly humiliate and talkback at?
