The lawless alternative turn their guns against themselves

Their inordinate lust for polical power explains their acts of lawlessness in recent times.

Right think Ghanaians still wonder why a political party with the longest experience of ruling the country chooses to be so lawless. It is indeed shocking but those with sense of history are not surprised at all. This stems from the fact that they are a product of a bloody revolution which rings bells of psychological trauma in the ears of its victims anytime it is referenced.

While patriots have been thinking about what the government should do to salvage Ghanaians from the global economic crises, they are preoccupied with how to capture power by leveraging the global economic crises that has caused the citizens so much pain.

This state wrecking attitude makes them to keep preaching doom for the economy without considering the negative implications of their desires on the poor masses, whose interest they claim to be championing.

Isn't it sad for a former President to pass comments that are capable of encouraging the youth of his political party to engage in electoral violence? Well, with the English Professor on their side, they still expect Ghanaians to side with their position that the "do or die" call by their iconic figure is not a call for violence despite its context of usage.

No day passes without their communicators passing comments to scare off investors yet they claim they love the country than everyone else. Every attempt by the Head of State to inspire hope in the citizens and mobilise them for collective cause action, is foiled by these state saboteurs.

Their gross disrespect for the citizens keeps their lawless fire ablaze. As far as they are concerned, they are in charge of the minds of Ghanaians so anything they say about the economy and the Akufo-Addo led government, the poor masses shall swallow them hook, line and sinker.

The result of this is the media tyrany the country is currently experiencing under their hands. In the cause of performing their official duties their honourable men and women peddle lies against government officials but fail to prove when given the opportunity.

Their victims are too preoccupied with salvaging the poor citizens from the rippling effects of the global economic crises so they are completely ignored. This makes them think they are the champions so their acts of lawlessness continues.

Since it takes two to tango and their main opponents are concentrating on their business of restoring the COVID-19 ravaged economy, they are only left with the option of turning their guns against themselves.

This explains the lawlessness the citizens are currently witnessing in their camp, where the two main prospective leaders of their party are engaging themselves in shameless acts of verbal war.

Well a bad tree cannot yield good fruits so two babies of this lawless organisation join the verbal war to tear themselves with their sharp teeth.

If Ghana's alternative is the lawless National Democratic Congress (NDC), whose addiction to anarchy is so serious that they would resort to fighting among themselves when there are no external enemies, then the alternative is indeed scary.
