How Are The Incumbent Tumbling!

Nicholas Sarkozy

In the last few months, all over the world, from Tunisia and Egypt through Libya and Malawi to Mali, Guinea Bissau and also out of Africa in France and Russia, incumbents have been tumbling.

Some died naturally or through illness. Some were couped out. Others were bloody warred out. One or two were bloody sprung out. A couple of them were voted out. And there is the one strange case of alleged ballot-rigged Putin back and forth shuffling which got mouthful name Medvedev out opening the door for a repeat or recycled Putin in.

Of particular interest is the snake-eyed sar something man of France. Although of an immigrant background, the man worked so hard against immigrants, curtailing religious freedom with his virulent anti-Muslim headscarf bans. His deeds looked like one desperate individual trying to be more French than anyone else with his racist acts.

I understand the man had the courage to ignorantly pronounce in Cheikh Anta Diop land, probably somewhere near the famed Diop street, that Africa has made no contribution to civilization. From there he proceeded to Brother Muammar Gaddafi to collect some millions from the brother to finance the election campaign that saw him winning that high office of the French presidency.

Now the allegation is all over the place, introduced at a crucial stage like a spoke in his election wheel. Without the clout of the incumbency which he has lost to him whom everyone-sees as a gentleman president Hollande (ɔlɔnd), I will love to see the ungrateful man thrown into prison for his vile hatred for everything African. He forgot so quickly, or he was never taught, that God is an African.

In congress, we see lies, ingratitude, arrogance and hypocrisy. We see a group of charlatans who consider themselves so much more Ghanaian that those of us who revile their stock are seen as less Ghanaian. Remember they shared a certain woyomised GH¢51 million and turned round threatening to throw the man into prison as a thief.

Congress is the group that is made up of Ghanaians who do not belong to any tribe or ethnic confraternity and consorority. They never see ethnicity in any of their actions. Yet just take a closer look at their actions and inactions and you would quickly realize that whatever they do or say is ethnic teleguided.

A congressperson in a public institution will only procure services, contracts, consultancy or whatever is paid for with public money on one condition, ethnicity. The same is true with hiring to fill a civil and public service position. To a congressperson, mediocrity is preferable over efficiency because meritocracy must come only after loyalty.

Their latest epithet, according to a caller to a radio programme is 'Jack where are you?' It could be their green book, policy pronouncements or fair, serially call-in statements on radio, rally talk; you will always be compelled to ask so where is this development they are mentioning. Where is that project or that other one located? Only they know.

I, Okokyrekro Kwasi, declare war on any daughter or son of the motherland who will scheme to keep congress in power come December 7, this year. Vote them out because they have no business getting themselves involved in, let alone run the motherland's business.

Just look at them; rented press, rented qualifications, rented party, and now rented umbrella party symbol. What a collection of individuals who all they have known in their lives is renting without owning. Unable to own, they are borrowing as if what is borrowed is owned. With them, the motherland will never own; not ever.

I warned them, didn't I? Didn't I warn them you don't attack an ant with a bulldozer? Now she who was crushed beyond crushing wants her logo back. Odeneho madam wants the logo which she designed using her own talent and KNUST acquired knowledge back as her bona fide copyrighted property.

Were it in good times, she would have received the full support of the woyome attorney general who used to crusade like none other at the copyright office. I wonder what the latter would be advising her congress people. One can expect the usual congress turn a blind eye if there is something to benefit us attitude.

Now that the war has moved on after the 3.5% bulldozer crushing of be bold Adwoa's presidential nominee candidacy at the battle of Sunyani to the battle of the umbrella, I am patiently waiting to see the vanquished this time. We shall see how much a logo is worth; and wondering whether the ball will go back to the owner.

My compatriots, my dear, dear compatriots, come December 7, 2012, God bless the motherland with her own thumbed-out incumbent tumbling! Let congress be thumbed to a tumbling.
