NDC CHALLENGES ADAMS

A leading member of the National Democratic Congress and Editor of the Alhajj Newspaper, Alhaji Bature is challenging claims by an aide to former President Rawlings, Kofi Adams that a visit by the former president to the Castle last two weeks was to check up on the sitting president. According to Alhaji Bature, the meeting by the former President was meant to assure the sitting president of his unflinching support for NDC ahead of the December elections. Aide to the former has confirmed a report in today’s edition of the Daily Guide newspaper that the two last Thursday held a meeting with President Mills at the Castle, but refused to disclose details of the meeting except to say it lasted a few minutes. It is the first time in many months the two have met. Media reports have suggested that the meeting is the latest attempt to reconcile differences between the two. But Kofi Adams denies this saying Mr. Rawlings visited President Mills at the Castle to find how he was doing after he returned to the routine check-up in the US. He describes the meeting as a positive development in the NDC.
