She said going forward and building consensus and having a meeting of minds if it is a case that we have offended you, we apologise. What is wrong with that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She knelt before Rawlings in Accra when the party marked the 39<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the June 4 uprising.<\/p>\n<p>Anita Desosoo also urged Rawlings to let bygones be bygones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are a leader, be prepared to say I\u2019m sorry. If you are a child, be prepared to say daddy I\u2019m sorry. So I will take this opportunity on behalf of the party to kneel down before my dad [Rawlings]. Please forgive us. Let\u2019s come together to build this country,\u201d she pleaded.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry Rawlings who is also the founder of the NDC refused to campaign for the party during the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>Rawlings decided because he felt the current crop of NDC leaders had moved away from the party\u2019s ideals which included transparency, probity and accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Now to my father, I know [as] your children we have erred, and I also know that you are a human being. You have also done something that may not be right. And I was so happy when you brought out a statement rendering an apology. You are a hero. This shows that what you have thought me is still within me,\u201d Desosoo added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n<p>Source: citinewsroom.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has defended the party\u2019s National Vice Chairperson, Anita Desosoo decision to apologise to the founder of the party on behalf of other executives.
