Asiedu-Nketia advocates positive defiance against Rawlingses

The general secretary of the National Democratic Congress have called on all party faithfuls to relegate the attacks of the Rawlingses to the background and unite and vote Prof. Evans Atta Mills to power come December 2012.

According to Mr Asiedu-Nketiah utterances and recent actions of the party's founder, former President Jerry John Rawlings, and wife Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, have one consequence for the party – leading it back to opposition.

 He noted that one of the principles of the June 4 Revolution is “positive defiance”, saying it was therefore better for the party to open defiance at the Rawlingses in order to save the party in general.

The party’s General Secretary made these remarks when he commissioned the Upper West Regional Women’s Wing office over the weekend.

He recounted that persons who worked with former President Rawlings and the wife, were taught positive defiance as one of the principal tenets in the formation of the party. Positive defiance is when one becomes bold and stands up against bad policies or orders of his or her leaders without any malice, Asiedu-Nketia explained.

He reminded members that the NDC had no time to waste on settling scores at various levels of the party, insisting that if the party spent its time settling disputes, their opponents would be on the field campaigning.
