Former President Jerry Rawlings meant
communicators of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) when he asked
President John Mahama to lower, if not dismiss, ‘babies with hard
teeth,’ from government, Mr David Annan, a member of National Democratic
Congress (NDC) legal team has said.
Mr Rawlings, at the special
Delegates' Congress of the ruling party few days ago, urged President
John Dramani Mahama to rein in some members of government whom he
(Rawlings) called ‘babies with hard teeth’ and who spew very horrible
invectives at other members of the NDC they disagree with.
Some
ministers as well as government appointees have since been fingered as
being the target of Mr Rawlings’ parable. But David Annan vehemently
disagreed when he contributed to discussions on Alhaji & Alhaji , a current affairs programme on Radio Gold, Saturday.
Mr
Annan said members of the NPP should not deceive themselves into
believing that the NDC founder was addressing anybody in his party
because Rawlings was in fact talking to the NPP.
“…I think that
(Rawlings) was referring to the “sharp tongued, vampire teeth baby
communicators in the NPP,” he stated, noting that those communicators
should know “the [ex] president was just as well speaking to them”.
Mr David Annan continued: “Should we throw them out with the dirty water? And I think that the answer is yes.”
He
subsequently charged NPP flag-bearer, Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo to
ensure that those ‘babies‘ whom he (Annan) accused of denigrating the
nation in the eyes of the international community are thrown out if he
(Akufo-Addo) truly believes in Ghana.
“So to those babies with sharp teeth in the NPP, I am saying shut your mouths, we are tired of listening to you...”-peacefmonline
