It has emerged that former President John Mahama played a major role in ensuring that Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom under his administration, Emmanuel Victor Smith and former President Jerry John Rawlings, smoked the peace pipe.
Mr Smith, who disclosed this on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Tuesday said during his feud with the former President, they both met in England where he accorded him all the protocols he deserved.
He said it was Mr Mahama who pleaded with him to make those efforts to broker peace with him, adding that he made that effort and apologised to him thereby smoothening the relationship between him and his former boss.

“When I had challenges with Rawlings, we were not cool till he came to England and I accorded him all the respects and protocols because Mahama asked me to make peace with him. I apologised and he accepted my apology,” he said.
Mr Smith said everything seemed to be normal between the him and President Rawlings until he confronted the former President on how he attacked the National Democratic Congress.
“I went on the attack because he always criticised our party and make the New Patriotic Party look like an attractive party and because he didn’t like my posture, he again became angry and so we are not friends anymore,” he said.
