NPP "Enchele Ma NDC", Mills Is An Accidental President

Sarpong, Justice


The "all die be die" speech by daedal Nana Akuffo Addo has rankled the core of
the National Destroyers Congress (NDC) to sit up and evaluate what has been
their ace in the hole, going 'gbagbo' in Ghana in case it loses the 2012
Presidential election. It's just amazing these 'bugabuga' NDCians have short
memories. Just two years ago, a philomath like Mills 'threatened' Kenya on
Ghanaians if the 2008 election fails to go his way. Back then, the same NDCians
didn't see anything wrong with Mills speech and did not attribute his war
mongering speech to the myriad of drugs he was taking which has blackened his
brains and palms, but when Nana Akuffo made similar speech three days ago, these
dunderheads in Mills administration have attributed the speech to cocaine intake
by Nana Akuffo Addo, what a bunch of yahoos we have parading at corridors of
power as seasoned Politicians.

Let me make it crystal clear here that, I do not agree with the part of Nana's
speech talking about the bravery of Akans and making it seem like NPP is an Akan
party at war with the Ewe dominated NDC Party. Ghanaians are not going to war
war with each other, we will jaw jaw our differences out and that will be the
end of it, we have come a long way in our democratic rebirth we will not resort
to the Kenya or Ivory Coast templates but we will not allow any Party, either
NPP or NDC to hijack any election in Ghana, NDC should not try to rig the 2012
election, because that will be the start of of our country's disintegration.

Rawlings handed power peacefully over to Kuffour and he in turn did the same
thing to Mills. We expect Mills or Nana Konadu Agyeman to concede defeat
gracefully in 2012 when the tide turns against NDC. We do not need to use guns,
arrows and bows to affirm the will of the people. Ghanaians are too enlightened
and matured to resort to this kind of primitive endevour. We expect NDC not do
anything that will break our almost twenty years of peaceful democratic rule.
Those so called NDC cadres in Tema who are baiting for war should find a 9 to 5
employment to occupy their sorry lives.


“I want to repeat with all the force at my command, the warning note that I
sounded last year (2007) that should there be another attempt by the ruling or
any other party at the December elections to steal the verdict of the people the
National Democratic Congress and all fair minded Ghanaians will categorically
reject out of hand the fraudulent results so proclaimed and will adopt all
legitimate means, to seek redress to any such political misconduct. The NDC
would therefore like to assure every Ghanaian that it will not allow the NPP in
the coming elections to repeat such a disgraceful conduct as it did in 2004...It
(NDC) therefore urges all Ghanaians and the international community to draw
useful lessons from the on-going Kenyan conflict situation and the unacceptable
conduct of elections held recently in other African countries with a view to
ensuring that they are not replicated in our dear country at the next general
elections.

We wish to take this opportunity to warn also against the kind of pre-election
violence that has taken place in Pakistan with the unfortunate assassination of
Benazir Bhutto and to urge the ruling NPP government to ensure the safety and
security of Presidential and Parliamentary candidates as well as all citizens in
the coming elections,”


WHO SAID THAT?

That was President Mills in 2008 as a Presidential candidate threatening fire
and brimstone in a well couched statement. This is the clueless President called
'Asomdwehene' citing Kenya as an example as what will happen in Ghana if NPP rig
the 2008 election. Is Mills a hypocrite or what? He calls himself "ASOMDWEHENE"
whilst preaching violence. Let these NDCians with their truckload of
blabbermouths learn how to talk to Ghanaians before they sanctimoniously
pontificate like Roman Catholic Cardinals about virtues.


NDC fool soldiers and its stupid spokesmen, Afiriyie Ankra, Fiifi Kwetey,
Okudzeto Ablakwa, Quashiga, Jacobs, Asiedu Mosquito, Koku Anyidoho the sumo
wrestler and its team "B" morons should be warned that, Nana Akuffo Addo did not
make that warning in a vacuum but was responding to what is going on in the
grapevine that, NDC will never hand over power to NPP even if it lost the
elections in 2012. Let the NDC be warned that, NPP will not allow the situation
in Ivory Coast as a template for NDC to emulate. We know why Mills and his NDC
are supporting Gbagbo because that is the strategy it intends to adopt in case
it loses power in 2012.

Nana Akuffo Addo has a history of being a peaceful man but that should not be
taken as a weakness by NDC.“Nana Addo’s personal political history should be
able to tell Ghanaians that he does not believe in violence; he does not believe
in subverting the rule of law and the constitutional provision which protects
all Ghanaians. Rather on the contrary, he has been an individual who over many
years has fought for the right of Ghanaians, has fought for the opening of the
political space, for freedom of association and for freedom of speech”. That was
how Ivor Greenstreet of CPP described Nana Akuffo Addo so this NDC propaganda of
Nana Akuffo Addo being a tribal warmonger is not going to wash among Ghanaian
electorates. It is heart warming to see that NPP MP's and others transcending
political divide are still supporting and defending Nana Akuffo Addo for baring
his teeth.

Where were these morons from NDC when their founder Jerry John Rawlings was
making his boom speeches which has divided this country?


Where were thse fools when Rawlings said that the Fantis are dirtier than cats?

Where were these morons from Togo, Koku Anyidoho, Fiifi Kwetey and their like
minded tribalists when Rawlings said Asahntis did not support his family
planning policy and are breeding like rats so that they can use their numerical
power to unseat his government?

Where were these NDC morons when candidate Mills threatened Ghanaians with his
Kenya diatribe?

NDC should rather focus like a laser beam on his better Ghana agenda and show
some results if it intends to retain power in 2012 because Ghanaians are not
going to be cajoled and manipulated by NDC propaganda if it cannot show tangible
results for its four years of stewardship. Even the founder of the National
Destroyers Congress(NDC) and his wife have given up on Mills and his
administration as non-performing and that is why his wife Nana Konadu Agyeman is
poised to wrestle the mantle of the NDC Presidential candidadacy from the timid
and slow Atta Mills

If Mills and his non-performing government think they can ride on this speech to
stay in power, then they are living in a lala land because Ghanaians are
discerning and politically matured to sieve through this NDC propaganda
nonsense. THIS IS MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Our Accidental President, Mills needs
to put a leash on his wayward acolytes behaving like they are on auto pilot
and parroting like a starved parrots.

The Presidency of Ghana is a desideratum for Nana Akuffo Addo because he is a
man who can deliver what has been a mirage for Atta Mills and his
administration to do for Ghana. The levity and farcical comportment of this
administration is not what Ghanaians voted for and come 2012, the power of the
thumbs of Ghanaians will send this clueless Mills NDC administration to a
permanent retirement.
