The true meaning of Victor Smith

The true meaning of Victor Smith

Recently I visited Myjoyonline and a headline caught my attention that read:” Victor Smith raids Castle with soldiers” and immediately the thought that came to mind was who is this Villain Individual Conditioned To Organize Riot?

I did a Google search on that name and my reaction was: Oh that Sacked Mentor Implicated-as Terribly Humane by Dr. “boom”.

Upon realization I have involuntarily spelled out Victor Smith by my random words. That was purely coincidental!

I was saddened to know that the NDC Ghanaians have voted for is the old NDC. I may be wrong because I am drawing conclusions from a reputable and registered media publication plus a ridiculous explanation from Mr. Smith that sought to admit being at the scene as reported but only to resolve issues.

Hmm! I don't feel like I have the guts to add my voice of condemnation to this despicable act exhibited by a confidante of the author of peace and President of our noble country. I am not sure if Freedom of Speech will exist under NDC so I am hiding my identity under the shadows for fear of using commandos to arrest me upon my arrival in Ghana.

I beg to differ; NDC intends violence, intimidation and bully but they will not last because it won't take long for the good people of Ghana to regret their votes.

I believe most people cast their vote purposely for Prof. Mills and Hon. Mahama without considering the team that make up NDC. I fully respect and adore the Leadership of both the President and the Veep but questions why they have chosen to surround themselves with redheaded individuals that seek nothing but violence and abuse of power. Enough is enough Mr. Smith!

I know someone out there will angrily write a rejoinder and perhaps misinterpret my personal opinion but before you do, let me ask you: Do you honestly think what Mr. Smith did was necessary? Do you see fellow Ghanaians as enemies? Is that the only means to resolve vehicle issues? Do you think ethnic war will only affect NPP families?

I feel your sentiments with a “Yes” response to all but you are deceiving yourself with that response.

Let us remember Political power will not stay with NDC forever neither will it stay with NPP forever and what goes around comes around. I don't care what NDC's beef is but I caution them to use the court of law to seek redress or resolve any political witch-hunt only that whenever they lose power they have to flee because NPP will pay back.

To me, Ghana is too mature and Ghanaians must vote whichever party behaves maturely and seek freedom for the populace. If you ask me which party do I recommend, I will tell you CPP or PNC just to defray the political tension that has generated tribalism, nepotism, favoritism and hatred among us…You and Me!

Togbe Foyie, I think you should have also included the NPP as one of the parties you recommend. The NPP did not pick on tribes, did more for the Northern regions and Volta region than the previous P/NDC governments, during its 8 years in power. It did seek redress cautiously (maybe too much so for even its supporters) and in the courts of law and it did keep the country fairly united, stable and help improved the human rights of the people.

Do you support or oppose Parliament’s passage of the Anti‑LGBTQ+ Bill 2026?
