Ayekoo, Gyan; Shame, Dafeamekpor!

Politics, Abusuapanin, is like a grand storybook. Imagine it as a colorful kente stitched together by many hands. Some threads sparkle with promise, while others fray and tangle. In the political arena, we find heroes and villains, noble intentions, and unexpected twists.

So, when we gaze upon the political stage, let us remember that each player adds their patch to the game. Some patches shine, while others fade. And as we watch with our 'konkonsaic' lenses focused on the political stage, we wonder: Who truly deserves the title of 'honourable'?

Hon. Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, once a beacon of promise, now stands before us – a figure both revered and questioned. His name, like a whispered incantation, evokes memories of eloquence and principled stances. But alas, the sands of time shift, and so do our perceptions.

'Honourable', we murmur, our voices echoing through the chambers of our minds. “Is he truly worthy?” For titles are bestowed, not earned, and the mantle of honour rests uneasily upon shoulders burdened by scrutiny.

Dafeamekpor, the wordsmith, once wove speeches like Kente cloth, which looked vibrant, intricate, and steeped in tradition. His eloquence danced upon the tongues of constituents, promising change, justice, and progress. But oh, how the seasons change!

“Is he still worthy?” we ask, our brows furrowed like the furrows of yam fields. “Does he uphold the sacred oath of service?” For in the halls of power, where whispers become roars, even the noblest intentions can fray like the edges of a well-thumbed manifesto.

Meet Asamoah Gyan, the soccer expert, the striker who engaged with fate. His clever moves, like a plan written on his boots, outline the Elephant’s sports strategy in their manifesto. The audience eagerly awaited, and as the ball hit the net, excitement filled the air.

“Senseless remarks,” Dafeamekpor declares, “are the own goals of myopic minds.”

But listen, dear Dafeamekpor, Asamoah Gyan's kicks transcend party colors. The Umbrella and the Elephant are mere spectators in his cosmic duel. Goals or misses, the net knows no bias. In the realm of football, where passions ignite like flares on a stadium night, Asamoah Gyan strides, a name etched in turf, a legend carved by destiny's cleats.

Pay close attention as I tell you the story of a striker who danced with fate on the green canvas, a tale of goals and glory. The very pulse of the beautiful game, Asamoah Gyan, stood at the intersection of countries, his boots laced with aspirations and resolve.

As the sun went down, long shadows stretched across the soccer field. Members of the Elephant gathered in the locker room, their fresh manifesto in hand, waiting for Gyan’s insights. Gyan, like a coach studying a playbook, examined the pages, a guide for a nation aiming to excel in sports again. The crowd was silent, waiting for his decision. The wind seemed to say, “Asamoah, your kicks echo in history. Will you shape our destiny?”

At the World Cup, that cosmic arena where humans and gods fight it out, Asamoah took the penalty spot, walking a tightrope between praise and condemnation. The ball shot toward the net like a comet. But fate skewed it wide, arbitrary as a referee’s whistle. Hearts breaking like shattered shin pads, the audience gasped.

Now, we hear Dafeamekpor scream out, “Sabotage!” “He intentionally missed!”

But let me assure him and his ilk that Asamoah Gyan’s boots were symbols of dignity, not betrayals. Along with the dreams of a country, he bore the weight of neutrality. The Umbrella and the Elephant were only participants in his cosmic struggle. Joy or sorrow, the intent was impartial.

Let us cheer for the man who danced with destiny, whose legacy stretches beyond politics. Asamoah Gyan – the striker, the sage, the heartbeat of a nation. His goals, like bananas ripe for the picking, fed our hunger for greatness.

Asamoah Gyan, that legendary striker, strides forth from the pitch to the political arena. His boots, once stained with the sweat of goals, now tread upon the treacherous ground of manifestos and party lines. The Elephant beckons and he answers the call, like a warrior donning armor for battle.

But what sayeth Dafeamekpor? “Monster!” he exclaims, his voice echoing across the savannah. “Monster, for Gyan's defection is a betrayal, a dagger plunged into the heart of the Umbrella. He missed that penalty deliberately!” Dafeamekpor roars like a wounded lion.

But fear not, Abusuapanin, for in this grand drama, we find both tragedy and comedy. Dafeamekpor, with his lofty rhetoric, stands tall. Yet perhaps, just perhaps, he should heed the wisdom of yours truly, Agya Kwaku Ogboro:

“When the river overflows its banks, even the crocodile seeks higher ground.”

And so, Abusuapanin, let us raise our glasses, filled with chilled sobolo, as your fancy dictates to the latest player on the political stage. May Gyan's boots remain swift and his spirit, unyielding. For in the game of life, penalties are but fleeting moments, but legends are eternal.

Ayekoo, Gyan; Shame, Dafeamekpor!
