Akufo-Addo and Bawumia Will Not Consort with Terrorists and Palace Assassins in the Guise of Fake Peacemakers

While the Serial and the Dynastic Presidential Candidate of the country’s main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. John “I Have No Classmates in Ghana” Dramani Mahama, was characteristically and vacuously talking a good game at the launching of the Sunday, November 3, so-called National Peace Campaign, sponsored by some nondescript Civil Society Organizations, the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), like his pull-the-bull-by-the-horns problem-solving immediate boss, the lame-duck President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was busy breaking sweat by attending a practically far more significant program focused on youth employment strategies.

So, the rather scandalous idea that, somehow, Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia ought to have abandoned the practical and constructive policy and agenda-setting social-intervention program aimed at creating employment opportunities for our teeming battalions of restive youths, in order to frivolously talk around the real solutions that stand a far greater chance of bringing peace into the country, in the frenzied runup to the December 7, 2024 General Election, is nothing short of inexcusably asinine (See “National peace campaign: As leaders responsible for peace you shouldn't have missed the event – Mahama slams Akufo-Addo, Bawumia” Modernghana.com 11/4/24).

We need not forget that in the wake of President Akufo-Addo’s genius and definitive resolution of the hitherto seemingly intractable Dagbon or Yandi Chieftaincy Feud, a morally shameless Candidate Mahama was widely reported and virally videotaped by the media telling the now-85-year-old Supreme Overlord of the Ancient Dagbon Kingdom, Ya-Naa Abubakari Mahama, II, that the legendary Leprechaun of Kyebi and Akyem-Abomosu and “Chief Kabonga,” in the political playbook of the Bole-Bamboi native, from the Akufo-Addo-created Savannah Region, had played absolutely no laudable and/or recognizable role in bringing a definitive conclusion to the age-old Yendi Chieftaincy Crisis, so-called, but that it was all the doings of Yagbonwura Okogufuo Kwame Gonja’s “Inscrutable Divine Providence” who had literally descended from the Heavens to conclusively resolve the Dagbon Chieftaincy Feud.

Naturally, an incensed Ya-Naa Abubakari Mahama, II, would call a press conference at his Gbewaa Palace in his Majesty’s Yendi Municipality and instruct journalists to, henceforth, not use the name “Mahama” as part of his official name and title. Obviously, for Ya-Naa Abubakari, II, it constituted an inexcusable act of desecration and blasphemy of the highest level for the man who had spent a considerable amount of time and his life schooling in the Modern Dagbon Administrative Capital of Tamale, where his own father, the late Mr. Emmanuel Adama Mahama, had also served as a Non-Cabinet Regional Minister in the Kwame Nkrumah-led government of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), to be making such noetic remarks.

What the preceding unarguably means is that the “Lt-Col.” Johnson “The Mosquito” Asiedu-Nketia-coronated Serial and the Dynastic Presidential Candidate of the late Chairman Jeremiah “Jerry” John Rawlings-founded state-terror sponsoring National Democratic Congress woefully lacks the requisite manners and emulative leadership skills to have made him more than a purely accidental pinch-hitting President of our beloved Sovereign Democratic Republic of Ghana. Which ought to also instructively inform the overwhelming majority of Ghanaian citizens and voters about the downright bizarre and curious decision by then Vice-President Mahama to heartily and curiously and euphorically celebrate the sudden passing of Ghana’s then-Incumbent President, Dr. John Evans Atta-Mills - also popularly and affectionately known as Prof. Mills - on July 24, 2012, as a most opportune event deftly orchestrated by an “Inscrutable Divine Providence” to usher into place the very first postcolonial-born Ghanaian leader.

To-date, none of the vanguard leaders of the Constitution-bucking National Democratic Congress have been able to publicly explain to Ghanaian citizens and the electorate, precisely which culture or ethnic group in Ghana has an established tradition of publicly jubilating over the “mysterious passing” of their leaders. We have observed and declared innumerable times that Kwame Gonja is a veritable nuisance and a national security risk, and one who must never be allowed back into Jubilee House or anywhere near the highest and the most powerful seat and office of the land, elected or appointed.

You simply don’t want a psychologically unhinged leader who has the compulsive habit of calling for either the immediate removal or the summary liquidation of the Chief Justice and Members of the Apex Court as a whole, anytime that he fails to get his way by criminally and rudely attempting to ride roughshod over the sacred laws of the land, including Anti-Galamsey Laws, which he has publicly condemned in the past and recklessly used to unconscionably promote his vaulting political ambitions at the expense of the country’s ecological balance and the general wellbeing of its citizenry.

It was also rather preposterous for anybody to have expected Vice-President Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo to participate in the patent charade that was the recent so-called National Peace Campaign, with a morally reprehensible leader who has already declared to the nation that he is the spiritually and the morally incorrigible, blood-drinking grandson of Dracula. Once again, as our sages and thinkers of yore used to say: “It is only birds of the same feathers who flock and/or consort together.” It is Number One on the Ballot Sheet, Come December 7. Eye Bawumia; Eye Sor-Sor; Ennye Sor-Sor to Dumsor, Wallahi! Eye Kukrudu!
