NDC plagiarises & John Mahama takes credit for not writing 'FOKO'

President John Mahama President John Mahama

And so it came to pass that what I took note of and penned in an intriguing book titled, “59 Years to Nowhere…and counting The Future is Now”, was actually real.

To quote from page 27, here are a few lines that describe what Ghanaians actually think of John Mahama, who does not have any initiative of his own except to steal the brilliant ideas of wise people: “Responsible leaders, you would suppose they are, steal one another’s ideas. Unethical plagiarism is now reason for cheering on useless Politicians. Mis-leaders would be more an apt description of some of the hunky, bed-frolicking, empty promisers.

Leaders who tell lies and followers who clap are partners in crime especially that, lately, untruths are told flagrantly without shame. It follows that if one buys a stolen item, they are just as culpable as the thief and the facilitator, making my submission on their criminality quite relevant. The scenarios are the same.”

The confirmation of the above quote manifested on Thursday, September 15, 2016, at the Eusbett Hotel in Sunyani where a meeting took place between Kofi Adams, the NDC Deputy General Secretary, Lee Ocran, NDC member of the Manifesto committee, and 25 other NDC executives of the Brong Ahafo Region.

On the same day that Kofi Adams was making self-indicting revelations, President Mahama was also addressing chiefs and members of the Ga Traditional Council where he lied shamelessly that he directly participated in drafting the NDC 2016 manifesto, and can vouch for its originality. “I was directly involved in writing the manifesto for the NDC and so I know everything that is in that manifesto because I participated.

People did not just write it and bring it to me; I participated in writing that manifesto,” he said.

However, Kofi Adams made a pronouncement to the contrary, debunking John Mahama’s untrue statement. He specifically said that the President did not contribute to the NDC manifesto that was released. In fact, he went on to confirm unequivocally that John Mahama did not write “foko’ (nothing at all), and that the announcement by the latter (the President) that he put together most of the plagiarised document must be taken with a pinch of salt.

Folks this is the devious NDC that is seeking the mandate of Ghanaians for another four year term to bring untold suffering, hunger and acute abject poverty, and to most probably sell Ghanaians in a human bazaar of neo-slavery, where people would work endlessly, and toil sufferably for nothing except, maybe, an anal enema shoved up the bottom to clean out the last bit of faecal matter that, if left alone, might keep hunger at bay for a little while longer.

From all indications, it is clear that John Mahama is bereft of the basics of governance so much so that his party formulates evil agendae which he irresponsibly takes credit for, thinking that he is doing himself and Ghanaians a world of good, when the opposite is rather true.

Folks, if we do not get rid of him and the thieving crooks in the umbrella party, we will be doomed because as it is now, Ghana is officially HIPC, having succumbed finally to the unfortunate situation as confirmed by the international and donor communities, and World Bank. These unfortunate circumstances were brought about by “dirty bastards” and “babies with sharp teeth’, as they were aptly described by Jerry John Rawlings.

Are we ready for a protraction of this status quo? NO! Is another NDC term survivable? NO! Shall we continue to suffer while John Mahama steals the nation without restrain or refrain? NO!

I admonish all Ghanaians to come out in their numbers to vote wisely for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo otherwise agony, anguish, and regret shall be our quota in another NDC term of horror, misery, and pain!

Expect more very serious revelations from me!
