Why are Ghanaians Succumbing to the NDC's Politics of Intimidation?
The NDC are riding on the rail of intimidation to secure the governorship of Ghana. Their absolute resort to tactical intimidation of the Ghanaian public to vote them into power is sickening arrogance. They are all over the place, panting, running helter-skelter with their nonsensical allegations against the Electoral Commission of assisting the NPP to rig the election. They are well entrenched in the perpetuation of falsehoods and wild allegations in the hope of whipping up sentiments to get them voted for power. What a beggary or decrepit act?
They have been chasing the Electoral Commission around with their baseless requests, unfounded accusations and incomprehensible complaints. When the tide is smooth sailing for them, the Electoral Commission are excellent with thump up sign of bravo. When the truth is unfolding to their detriment, the Electoral Commission are in connivance with the opposing political party to rig the elections. What an absolute nonsensicality on the part of the whining NDC? They should note that it is said, "What is good for the gander is also good for the goose"
The country will be set ablaze if the NDC as a party loses the elections, a resolutely determined message of theirs for Ghana and Ghanaians. All their insane bigwigs including their novice activists in politics are trotting the length and breadth of Ghana proclaiming same messages of doom to the people should they be denied the platform to rule Ghana come December 28, 2008? The NDC think this is their year so they are claiming the victory of the rulership of Ghana with force as per the popular Ghanaian song, "Ye huri so, afe yi ye ma fe", meaning "we are jumping to snatch it as this is the year of our chance". To hell with that NDC's warped mentality of going about political issues.
Should the NPP be consumed by gentility while these law-breakers usurp the administration of Ghana through threats, intimidations and violence? No, No, and No. I believe in offering each a level fair ground to play their politics. Why should the NPP lose gear for the NDC to rig the elections from the backseat using their aggressively deplorable tactics? My noble Ghanaians are entreated to show the NDC when using their powerful thumbs tomorrow that aggressiveness to win over the people is assigned to the doldrums and that it belongs to the past. The NDC should submit to psychological training to wane them off aggression which is developing into genetics in them if left unchecked and untreated.
The Electoral Commission should please go about their duties as stipulated in the Constitution without fear or favour. Let the wish of the people prevail without any tampering of some sort. The NPP should counteract the bravado of the NDC in unequally but superior measure to prove to the NDC that though they brag, they have not got the needed balls. To remain silent to prove to the world that you are gentle while the other gets away behaving untowardly is murder in disguise. Once the harm is done, it cannot be undone. And this is politics where the lives of people are at stake. As the popular Ghanaian singer and songwriter Alex Konadu aka "One man Thousand" said, "Se wo afefo3 redane mmoa a wo nso dane bi na won antwa won ho a mekye wo a nwe", literally meaning, "If your colleagues are turning into beasts, do as them else they will transform and turn to prey on you". Two wrongs never make a right but this is not the moment to let one take undue advantage of a situation which can leave a permanent scar of regret and mental pain of "had I known". It is now the moment for the application of the Mosaic law of "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth". For when the die is cast, however it may be there will be no turning back. I desire the best for my country. Whoever wins is our president, be he, Nana Akufo Addo or Evans Atta Mills. We shall have to obey and respect them but it is the NDC's deplorable means of tipping the balance in their favour that I decry. They have resorted to all desperate acts of insinuation, character assassination, personality attacks, physical attacks and ballot box snatchings. What a nauseating situation the NDC are forcing Ghana into?
Fellow Ghanaians, it is a complete lie that the NDC can fill our pockets with money if we do not seize and avail ourselves of the work friendly policies already in place. The days of lying down while honey trickles down one's mouth are long gone. The present credit crunch that has come to devastate the major world economies is more than sufficient to disprove any assertion by the NDC to the contrary. Some NDC recalcitrants are casting doubt over how Nana Akufo Addo can finance their so-called his BIG PROMISES. To answer them with a simple rhetoric question, "What will the money accruing from the discovered petrol in Ghana be used for?" You should be your own judges, the NDC. You are known to be jubilating and calling a series of press conferences even before the votes are cast tomorrow. Don't count your chickens before they are hatched, the aggressive NDC. I hope you have your SHOCK MEDICATION by your side equally as I have mine to be administered once the result goes not in ones favour. No resort to any nonsense, we are all warned.
The clock is ticking and whoever God and Ghanaians have chosen will be known by Monday, 30 December 2008 so let us all exercise absolute patience without a jittery vigil in the dark as admonished by Dr. Flt. Lt. Jeremiah John Rawlings and his cohorts. Endurance and fortitude are what are required of all rational Ghanaians at this trying moment in our political life. Make sure you do not die over any silly act that will benefit a greedy politician who will not care a hoot about you and your family after your stupid death. A word to the worse is enough. Mind you, you will get shot when you snatch a ballot box.
GHANA means,
G.........= God
H.........= Has
A.........= Appointed
N.........= Nana
A....... = Already
Same as it meant
G.........= God
H.........= Has
A.........=Appointed
N.........= Nkrumah
A.........= Already.
Where and how can you make it read God has appointed Atta, Evans, Fifii, John or Mills as shamefully being orchestrated by the NDC? As it worked for Nkrumah, so shall it be for Nana. The NDC wish it had favoured their candidate but it is not. They had wished as intimidating beggars as they are, without understanding the saying, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride". Anyway, whichever candidate emerges genuinely victorious from the presidential runoff elections scheduled for tomorrow, 28 December 2008, will be accorded my unflinching support, allegiance, full respect and my strategic advice. But until then, my noble politicking in favour of Nana continues unabated.
Shalom, Shalom, and Shalom. Nana all the way to seize the presidential crown!
