The Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings (FONKAR) has gravitated, full cycle, to the understanding that in the matter of protecting the political legacy of ex-President Rawlings, everybody within the NDC, including themselves, must look at the bigger picture.

In FONKAR’s view point, the bigger picture is that, though all of its displeasures have not been fully addressed by the current government, beyond the 2012 General Elections, which is likely to be a contest between the NDC and the NPP, a Mills-led NDC administration would be the lesser of two evils.

A war mongering Akufo-Addo led New Patriotic Party administration, is the last thing any FONKAR member would wish on Ghanaians after 2012, The Enquirer newspaper has been told.

Last Saturday, FONKAR spokesperson, Dela Coffie, told the Enquirer newspaper that FONKAR members had already started campaigning for the Mills-led NDC to ensure that it is successful in the 2012 General Elections. “Some of us have already started campaigning for the NDC in our personal capacities,” Dela revealed, adding that “FONKAR offered an alternative to the NDC but the delegates made their choice.”

Dela Coffie also admitted to The Enquirer that President Mills himself was a legacy of Ex-President Rawlings and that since FONKAR’s mission was to protect the political legacy of Mr. Rawlings, the NDC splinter group had a responsibility to vote for Mills in the 2012 Presidential elections.“A vote for Mills will be a vote for the NDC, and like I have said before, FONKAR will vote for the NDC.”
