SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT ON AKUFO-ADDO’S PRESIDENCY
I would like to use this opportunity to set the records straight on some misconceptions, distortions and blatant lies which had been fed the Ghanaian public by the National Democratic Party, herein referred to as the Nefarious Destructive Cancer.
Many NDC supporters have called and threatened me both on phone and my e-mail. Others have called me unpatriotic, but I remain unperturbed. I am an NPP member to the core and so, they should not expect me to sing the praises of the NDC.
But one thing they should be sure of is that, I have made a vow to my God and maker that I will never condescend to the level where I shall make any unfounded allegations against my fellow human being. Thus, any impartial observer would realize that what I always do is to use logical argument to debunk any misconception or mischievous allegations against the NPP and then highlight the achievement of the New Patriotic Party. This much, I shall do, and as long as the Good Lord gives me breath, I shall not renege on this promise.
I would also like to state that I do not force anyone to read my column and that if any of my write-ups seems distasteful to someone, the one should not bother to read or even glance at it. However, if in the process of doing what I know best, and do not come across such chauvinists who, like Boxer in “Animal Farm” think and believe that their leader, “ is always right”, I would not miss anyone or thing of value. I’ve had enough of others calling and referring to me as ‘stupid goat’, ‘idiot’, ‘fool’, ‘dumb’ and many obscene names. Enough is enough!
Communist Propaganda Tactics by the NDC.
Ghanaians, you’ve got to open your eyes very well. You are being indoctrinated and those who are doing it are not your friends. They are your enemies who are well versed in the art of manipulation. Now, who is deceiving who? The NPP or the NDC?
Fire at Anyaa Warehouse: Who came up with the hoax story that the fire which gutted the warehouse at Anyaa in which seven full blooded Ghanaian died was the handwork of the NPP? It was the NDC. Its propaganda machinery took over and quickly called a press conference where they presented what they termed spent/burnt cartages which were taken from the scene of the fire. When an in-depth investigation was conducted and the NDC was asked by the police to present their so-called evidence for forensic check, the party claimed it had given them back to those who brought them to the NDC. But since, our God is Alive, it turned out that the woman who imported those fire-crackers or the so-called ‘ammunition’ is a member of the NDC. You see how nature works.
Bloated Voters Register [CD-Rom]. The NDC alleged that a CD-Rom given to it by the Electoral Commission contained bloated register of some constituencies in Ashanti Region. When the party was asked to produce it for verification, it could not do so. The party had promised to take the CD-Rom to the IPAC meeting with INEC. But on the’d’ day, it could not produce it.
Ayawaso Central Constituency Parliamentary Result: The NDC claimed it won the Ayawaso Central Constituency Seat and that Sheik I.C.Quaye had lost and asked for a recount and that on each occasion he lost. According to their account, the recount was done five times and it was only on the fifth count that Sheik won. I have explained what happened there in my previous write-up, and would do it here one more time. Let me re-iterate that it is only people with robotized minds that will swallow such lies line, hook and sinker without asking questions. There was no recount. Only re-collation was done and on each occasion, Sheik won and the NDC candidate asked for the re-collation five good times.
Warning to the E.C. When results from only six constituencies had been collated, these communist desperados called a press conference at such an ungodly hour at 2.00 am to announce to gullible Ghanaians that it had won the presidential elections and warned the EC not to do anything stupid as it had information that the EC wanted to rig the elections in favour of the ruling party and that the NDC would take no such nonsense. The party was later to compliment the EC for doing a good job.
Voting by Minors during the Special Voting in Ashanti Region. Again the communist tactics came in handy. After bussing many members of the party to the EC headquarters to lay its complaint, a hurriedly -organized press conference was held. The party complained about what it termed the ‘irregularities and malpractices” that had taken place during the special voting held on Tuesday. The party alleged that minors and the aged had taken part in the exercise. When asked to provide evidence, it could not. What they said was that their men had just come down from the Ashanti Region and that it needed time to compile all the evidence before submitting to the electoral commission.
But the question is: on what grounds then were they basing their arguments? Couldn’t the party have shown us at least some pictures of some of the supposed children who took part in that exercise? At, those who came from Kumasi could have taken some shot of such minors and presented to those discerning Ghanaians, This, they woefully failed to do.
But when are they coming up with their evidence? After the elections have been ‘fought’ and won? But was it necessary to buss their supporters to the office of the Electoral Commission? What was their mission? To intimidate them, of course!
Solution: I will at this juncture call on Ohene Agyekum to use ‘ohene Agyekums’, schnapps and invoke his deities to deal with those minors and the aged who wanted to humiliate the NDC during the special voting. Very simple!
The ugly incident at Manhyia. The statement which emanated from the office of the ex-president makes me weep for this country we all claim to love and cherish. It was 360 degree of what actually transpired at the place.. One statement claimed the body guard was framed and that it was the security detail at the place that pushed the pistol into the body guard’s hands. But this contravenes another statement from the same office. There was an argument which the body guard himself was alleged to have asked the question, “What was he to hold as a bodyguard? A catapult?’
