JOHN CRIBO MAHAMA IS VERY PREDICTABLE! HE SHOULD TRY AND SEE! HE SHOULD QUIETLY GO AND ENJOY HIS LOOT AFTER JANUARY 17TH 2029 , OR RISK LIVING IN MISERY! GHANA HAS LAWS— AND THOSE LAWS SHOULD BE UPHELD AT ALL TIMES, NO MATTER WHAT!

JOHN AIRBUS MAHAMA SHOULD TAKE A CUE FROM WHAT HAPPENED IN SENEGAL AND OTHERS! OVER OUR DEAD BODIES.

John Cribo Mahama has an agenda to stay beyond his term limits and so he sees this woman as an impediment. Which is why they cooked up those unfounded allegations against her so that they can kick her out. But trust me, John Bentua Mahama won’t be allowed to stay even one hour beyond his term limits. I’m happy that the strong woman is ready stand her ground! NDCFuo AKROMFUO!

NATIONAL CATHEDRAL AND THE WAY FORWARD

I was against the National Cathedral Project as regards the location (bcuz existing buildings had to be demolished) and the thievery that Akufo Addo, Ofori-Atta and co carried out in the name of the project. Those who have stolen through the project must face the law.

But converting it to cultural centre is simply NOT the way to go. The National Cathedral Project should REMAIN a Cathedral, not a cultural centre. It should be handed over to the Church in Ghana. The Government should remove its hands from it. Absolutely no state funding. It should be redesigned and scaled down to financially feasible level and let the Church in Ghana take care of it. This is the least Prez Mahama can do for Christiandom in Ghana. Mr Mahama, don't fail Christians in Ghana.

Prez Mahama, it is true that Akufo Addo, Ofori-Atta and their gang of thieves stole millions in the name of the National Cathedral Project, as they did with all other projects.

But Prez, do not be an agent of the devil or allow yourself to be used as a tool in the hands of the devil. Do not listen to anti-Christian elements in the society, who oppose everything associated with Christianity. Please, let the project be maintained as a Cathedral project and hand it over to the Christian Community. It should be re-scaled to a financially feasible level and let it be funded strictly with PRIVATE funds.

Do not throw the baby away with the bath water.

GHANAIANS SHOULD STAND UP TO MAHAMA’S ATTEMPT TO SACK THE CHIEF JUSTICE!

I see why John Mahama wants to fire the Chief Justice. With the NDC in super majority in the Parliament, the only way Ghanaians could challenge or get him removed from the seat for repeated corruption offenses would be through legal means . And that explains why John Mahama wants to get rid of the incorruptible Gertrude Araba Torkonoo. I see!

MAHAMA HAS PREEMPTIVELY UNDERMINED ANY SOUND DISCRETION TO REMOVE THE CHIEF JUSTICE BASED ON THE SPEECH THE CRIBO KINGPIN GAVE AT CHATHAM HOUSE IN 2023.

Just read his nickname “Kwaku AZAA ( Ananse) ”.
What does that imply? Deceptive and cacophonous! He thinks he is all that. His issue with the Chief Justice must be stemmed from a personality crash. Otherwise what has Tokornoo done to call for her head? Even when Charlotte’s was thrown under the bus by her own deputies, a situation and case for removal that was bolstered by prima facie evidence of procurement breaches and abuse of power, to mention the least; according to numerous Ghanaian newspapers and the results of investigations, John Mahama wasn’t ashamed to defend her at the speech he gave at the CHATHAM HOUSE in 2023.

Read the excerpts of the speech Mahama gave at the CHATHAM HOUSE in 2023

“The actions of Electoral Commission Chair Jean Mensa and her deputy commissioners, since President Nana Akufo-Addo ousted then-Chairperson Charlotte Osei, have undermined their independence and neutrality, former President John Mahama has said.  In a lecture on 'Africa's strategic priorities and global role' at Chatham House, London, Mr Mahama said he used the Charlotte Osei ouster to demonstrate how African leaders undermine institutions of democracy to entrench their stay in power. "Africa needs to build stronger institutions to address institutional and political decay", he said, explaining: "In building stronger institutions, civil society organisations (CSOs) in Africa must also be prioritised". 

On this note, Mr Mahama commended the "many CSOs on our continent that are holding governments accountable" since, in his view, "compounding the socio-economic malaise on the continent, is the erosion of public confidence in state institutions"— ..

My Take:

In so doing, John Mahama has already undermined any sound argument of discretion to remove the Chief Justice who has not committed any crime against the state: Be it financially, morally or politically.

Let me repeat! Kwaku Azaa’s argument doesn’t merit any case for removal, there’s not enough evidence to remove the head of the country’s Judiciary who is supposed to be independent, according to the Ghanaian constitution because of some personal sentiment of cacophonous American based technocrat!
Leave the woman alone!!!!!!

Hmmm she is fighting hard, but one the most unthinkable decision she presided over was the birth certificate case. That a birth certificate can't be used as a prove of nationality. When she was been admitted to the Judicial Service what documents was she required to provide? Was birth cert not part of it? As that time what document did she used to prove she a Ghanaian?

The way an manner this woman conducted herself of that seat as if their is no tomorrow.. Doing a will of scammed Akufo Addo as if their is no tomorrow.How can you even recommend judges to be posted to the supreme court whiles it's the work of Legal council or GBA. You overturned verdicts within a twinkle of an eye. I said those who are intelligent in npp and love the party and Ghana they should apologise to Ghanaians and let them rebuild the party but anyone who claim he is building upon the legacy of that Akufo Addo we will reject him because he didn't treat Ghanaians well that's why they voted against him
