God Bless The Soul Of President Atta Mills!

Nana Biakoye

What is this I am hearing that President John Atta Mills has decided to live in the Castle because he doesn’t want his motorcade to inconvenience other motorists?

So the President is living in the Osu Castle?

Was it not the same Castle that Kofi Diawuo “50 Cents” Kufuor said was not fit for human habitation?

The place is not fit for human habitation but President Atta Mills has decided to live there.

Holy Mary mother of Jesus, please continue to pray for your son to bless the soul of President Atta Mills.

Honestly, when I heard that President Mills has decided to live in the Castle because he does not want to inconvenience motorists, tears rolled down my cheeks.

Yes, I rocked in my hammock and could not help shedding tears.

I was so touched by the move of the President.

Tell me; how many people will have the opportunity that President Mills has, and be so modest about it?

For 8 long and horrible years, did we not see the way Kufuor flaunted his Presidency in our faces?

For 8 long and horrible years, did Kufuor not turn the road from HIPC junction to the castle into his personal property?

He gets drunk, sleeps late, wakes up late, and then when he is leaving for the office at 11 a.m., everything must come to a standstill.

Meanwhile, by 10 a.m. the police men are on standby indiscriminately holding up traffic just because of the lazy bastard called Kufuor who spent 8 years partying and wasting the nation’s time.

In fact, uncle JB remembers how one Major Stanley Alor, was beaten up mercilessly because he was alleged to have not stopped for the convoy of Theresa Kufuor.

That was the extent to which Kufuor and his gang of thieves and nation wreckers suppressed and oppressed Ghanaians.

Professor Mills gets the same opportunity and he decides to be very humble and live in the castle so as not to inconvenience motorists. “Wu mpe wei a wu pe dien?”

Considering the kinds of things that the dwarfish wee-smoker cum cocaine sniffer imported into the country to crown himself king of Ghana, only God knows what he would have done if he and his Akyem cabal (Atta Akyea and co) were allowed to steal the mandate of the people.

Thank God Ghanaians resisted oppressors rule with all their will and all their might and today, we have a President who is God-fearing, humble, simple, and is concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of the people of Ghana.

President John Atta Mills, I pray that the Good Lord will continue to bless your soul and fill you with the wisdom of Solomon so that forever and ever, Mother Ghana will be grateful that she allowed you to at a point in time manage Her affairs and give back to Her, Her lost place of pride and shredded glory.

President John Atta Mills, may your ways be straight; may your paths be bright; and may the Good Lord shower you with his bountiful blessings.

His Excellency President John Atta Mills, Ayekoo and please continue to build a Better Ghana.
