Unable to come up with a sellable campaign message or strategy this time around, President Akufo-Addo and his Vice, Dr. Bawumia, are spending sleepless nights struggling to find another “buga-buga” tactic they can hold on to in their quest to deceive and rob Ghanaians the upcoming general elections.
This is their plight after their “corrupt” and “incompetent” slogans have outlived their usefulness in the Ghanaian political discourse. Such is their plight in the wake of Martin Amidu’s declaration of the President as the “Mother Serpent of Corruption” and the honoring of Dr. Bawumia as “the biggest Liar in Ghana” by Google.
Not only are Ghanaians wide awake and well-informed about the extent of damage Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have done to the country, but they are angry about the stealing of the 2020 elections, with the help of Jean Mensa and the EC. Ghanaians are aware of their ongoing maneuvers and won’t allow the rigging agenda Jean Mensah has started see the light of day.
Desperate for a new strategy, President Nana Addo is joining some “impostor” family members of former President Atta Mills, to request for the autopsy report of the latter.
Mr. President, let me respectfully remind you that “those who live in glass houses do not throw stones!” You need President Mills autopsy report for your records? Hmmm! Would it be an overstatement to humbly urge you to take the large beam out of your eyes before attempting to remove the specks out of someone else’s?
Have you finished recording the deaths of the ‘personal aides’ whose demise have been labeled “mysterious” and “thought-provoking” by many Ghanaians who are surprised that such deaths precede elections you are involved in?
What about the death of your cousin J.B Danquah? Has his autopsy been recorded in your register of deaths? One would have thought that his autopsy would have interested you the most since he was related to you by blood. “Charity,” as they say, “begins at home,” Mr. President!
Let me also remind you, Mr. President, that the ghosts of the eight innocent Ghanaians who were brutally assassinated during the 2020 elections are hovering around you and your political team. Your actions and inactions left these innocent souls continually crying for justice. Have you finished recording their killers their and acts?
Mr. President, please be aware that Ghanaians and their fellow journalists have not forgotten about your perpetual silence on Ahmed Suale’s killing. You have blood stains on your hands, which should be a serious source of worry. Ghanaians believe that those brutal deaths haunt you in your dreams and in your sober moments, and it would be
prudent to continually bring thes issues up so your cabinet members may try to help
you find solutions to them than bringing up President Mills’ death for political gains.
As the late President Mills would rightly advise you, “Dzi wofie asem” – to wit, deal
with the numerous specks in your eyes before attempting to remove the logs in other
people’s eyes. Your administration is stained with the blood of innocent citizens. They
happened while you were in office. Deal with them first.
In brief, instead of asking for President Mills’ autopsy, focus on getting rid of your
record as the only democratically elected Ghanaian president who will leave office
“soaked in blood.” The “death of the eight” innocent citizens will forever be linked to
you. Deal with that while you still have time and while in office. The “time is always
right to do what is right”!
In conclusion, Mr. President, you and your Vice are noted for using propaganda and
slogans to deceive Ghanaians to win elections. Please refrain from using the death of
President Mills as part of your empty propaganda to try to win the 2024 elections. Any
attempt to use the former President’s death for political gains will open a can of worms.
May the soul of the humble and God-fearing Professor rest in peace. And may God
bless the people of Ghana.
