Okyeame On The Beat - Don't Bring Yourself

(Furious Okyeame Tells Jake)



Folk; this may sound like joke, but I am serious. This nonsense cannot be allowed to continue in this country for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to feel that, it is made of better crop of people so must be treated special.

What I have also realized about this particular set of political family (NPP) is that, for some strange reasons they think they are the only people with blood running through their veins; and that, they can engage in violence than anyone else.

In fact, my comment is in direct response to the ‘Open Letter’ supposedly written by the certificateless mulatto, Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey, the NPP National Chairman, to His Excellency President John Evans Atta Mills, calling on him to deal with his followers (NDC members), who according to him, are using guns to intimidate the opposition members; and I laugh.

Folks; hearing the news that the NPP chairman has, in a letter demands that President Mills calls his followers to order, I had no option than to call for a mental examination conducted on Jake.

Yes; I mean mental check-up, since the action of this certificateless head of a political family defies ordinary thinking; and I don’t regret at all demanding that thorough medical examination be carried out on him.

Going through his so-called open letter, I realized that this chap has no morals because if somebody in the NPP should make such call that certainly shouldn’t be Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey for what he is noted for.

As a chairman of the NPP, he was happy when Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the Assin North MP told party members at a rally to lynch any police officer who will become a hindrance to the party in its “all die be die” agenda, as far as this year’s election is concerned.

But having noticed that the various state security agencies are high alert and will deal with them decisively, he is today crying foul.

He has so soon forgotten about what his flagbearer said when he went to the Eastern Region to interact with some party executives; yet he thinks the NDC is preaching violence.

Perhaps, he has forgotten that he is not mentally sound to outwit some of us, because, in reality this man must know that he cannot accuse anybody or a party like the NDC for causing violence, when he sat idle to allow his flagbearer and that moron of a youth leader called Anthony Karbo to be spewing rubbish and be beating war drums.

According to this empty barrel, the whole world is looking at Ghana and how we manage this year’s election process to remain a democratic icon for African. I wonder whether he did know this before allowing his party leader, Williams Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Anthony Karbo and that egg-head of an MP, Kennedy Agyapong to be sounding war bells in this country, because of burning desire for power, at all cost.

I think Jake should say this to the marines, because, Ghanaians do not, and will not take him serious, since he is the father of violence himself. So he better stop disturbing our ears and think about the part two of their defeat, come December 07.

President Mills should call NDC members to order because, according to Jake, they are violent and their actions could spell doom for this country? And I ask, whether this chap is normal, or is suffering from an incurable disease, when those preaching and engaging in violence are right in his backyard.

Because the law enforcement agencies are ensuring that nobody disturbs the peace of this country, as the NPP would want, Jake is crying like a baby who has lost his way home? I pity him a lot.

Jake, listen and listen carefully, and if you care to know, you can only fool your party members and not those of us with educated background; and have certificate as a proof. So stop bothering us and work towards how better you, as an individual, can do to help cleanse your highly-soiled image, known to be the son of a bomb manufacturer.

Whether you like it or not, the security agencies will not allow you to plunge this country into chaos because, you want power at all cost, so stop crying, you moron.
