Martin Amidu must be protected and kept safe - by all the good people in our homeland Ghana

Ghanaians are a wise and aspirational African people, committed to maintaining their democratic system, at all cost. That is one of the reasons, why we must all ensure that Hon. Martin Amidu continues to remain safe, and is given round the clock protection.

Without principled individuals, and the patriotic civil society organisations that boldly speak truth to power, in the fight to rid Ghanaian society of egregious-high-level-corruption, we will eventually end up becoming an enslaved people, beholden to greedy and powerful ruthless-criminal-types.

It is said that those who fail to learn from the past, are condemned to make the same mistakes. In light of the recent revealations by Martin Amidu, Ghanaians must learn from the fate of the Odikro of Apedwa, Nana Akyea Mensah, who was murdered in 1943, by Akyem Abuakwa's ruling elites, after the death of the then Okyenhene, Nana Ofori-Atta 1, during the British colonial era.

Nana Amyea Mensah, sealed his own fate, when he warned his fellow royals, during an emergency meeting of the Akyem Abuakwa State Council, after the death of Nana Ofori-Atta 1, that under no circumstances should there be any unlawful conduct, on their part (i.e. resorting to ritual murder in any of the funeral rites for Ofori-Atta 1), lest they incur the wrath of the British colonial authorities.

He also told them that he was also aware of corruption that had gone on, during the reign of Nana Ofori-Atta 1, and that at the appropriate time he would demand the rendering of accounts, of all the monies that had been misappropriated, during the rule of Nana Ofori-Atta 1. He became a marked man from then onwards.

After his departure from that tempestous emergency meeting, the other royals, who had earlier heard Nana Akyea Mensah's demand for accountability, and his vociferous insistence on lawful conduct, as regards the late Okyehene's funeral rites, resolved to silence him, by murdering him (to accompany Nana Ofori-Atta 1, on his journey to the land of his ancestors, as 'tradition' demanded, and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak).

In light of all the above, it is vital that patriotic and discerning Ghanaians, collaborate, and work together, with Hon. Martin Amidu, to provide him with enough bodyguards, to assure round-the-clock-security for him, while at home, and wherever he goes, henceforth.

Finally, to be fair to President Akufo-Addo, it is crucial that former U.S. President Obana, is appraised of the looting that has allegedly gone on, in Ghana, since Nana Akufo-Addo came to power, in January 2017, as soon as is practical. Obama will ensure that the relevant U.S. government agencies, move quickly, to investigate the ruthless and greedy thieves-in-high-places, now said to be busy looting our homeland Ghana, brazenly, and shamelessly. The sods. In the meantime, the brave and patriotic Martin Amidu, must be protected, and kept safe, by all the good people in our homeland Ghana. Enough is enough. Haaba.
