It appears former president John Mahama’s has been vindicated for saying his colleague John Rawlings has mood swings hence his behaviour towards him in public sometimes.

A video which went viral on social media showed the two exchanging a cold handshake at the 25th-anniversary celebration of the country’s 4th Republic just after Mahama exchanged warm pleasantries with former President Kufuor.

Many said it was because the two did not have a good relationship.

Former president Mahama said the founder of NDC Rawlings sometimes has mood swings and this causes him to “greet in military style and passes.”

He said that he and his party founder, President Jerry Rawlings does not have a strained relationship as is being speculated by the media.

However, Mr Mahama in an interview on GTV said they have a perfect relationship but the founder of NDC sometimes has mood swings and this causes him to “greet in military style and passes.”

“With President Rawlings, we have a good relation. Recently there has been some speculation in the media and all that. But we should understand the kind of person President Rawlings is. Sometimes he is the mood where he doesn’t want to engage in any of conversation.”

Mahama added that “you have to learn the mood in which he is and adjust accordingly and I don’t have any problems with President Rawlings, indeed he gave me the opportunities in life.”
