JJ Is Ghana's Number One Coward - Kabila

The National Youth Organiser of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bomfeh, has hit hard at former President Jerry John Rawlings describing him as the country’s number one coward.
His tag of the former president as a coward, is premised on an alleged statement by Mr. Rawlings that he “will not follow cowards to war”.
The former President is reported to have recently told a group of concerned NDC supporters led by the Ashanti Regional Secretary, Joseph Yammin, that even though he continues to be part of the NDC, he has no plans of campaigning for the party’s 2012 Presidential candidate, John Evans Atta Mills ever again.
“I will not follow cowards to war because if you do, you will end up fighting alone because they will end up running and leaving you in the middle of the war,” ex-president Rawlings is quoted as having said.
But contributing to a panel discussion on AsempaFM, the CPP Youth Organiser likened Mr. Rawlings to a timid child who runs away after picking a fight with others but in the presence of his parents, would start acting all manly again.
“A coward is the person who would run during a fight and halt when he sees his parent and tell you to come and fight him again because he knows his parents will save him…I have interacted with some of the people he has worked with and they tell me he isn’t a man people should believe when he calls others cowards…a courageous man is someone who would stand to be counted alone when all odds are against him,” he said.
Kabila, as the CPP Youth Organiser is affectionately called, was also critical of the inability of some confidantes of the ex-president to boldly tell him to the face the reality on the ground, but only what he (Rawlings) preferred to hear.
Whiles lambasting the former president for openly endorsing the celebration of a coup, he also indicted the sitting president for partaking in the celebration of the June 4th Uprising and the 31st December Revolution, and accused him of benefitting greatly from Rawlings’ alleged acts of atrocities.
“I’m shocked at how a courageous man who says he is a product of democracy would wish for the celebration (commemoration) of a coup…Rawlings has a case when he says he wouldn’t follow cowards, but truth be told he is also a coward...he is the country's number one coward,” Kabila stated.
