Columnist: The Informer

JJ Rawlings; Are You Not Ashamed Of Yourself?

Commentary

The battles lines have been drawn by no less a person than the Founder of the National Democratic Congress; Jerry John Rawlings, and The Informer is taking off its gloves to do battle on behalf of the party that we have grown to love.
We have always respected JJ Rawlings and restrained ourselves from treating him like an avowed enemy but now that JJ is behaving in a traitorous manner, and betraying the umbrella, we will not sit down and allow him to get away with his unacceptable conduct.

JJ Rawlings should be ashamed of himself; and we don’t have any qualms about saying it as it ought to be said.

JJ Rawlings is now accommodating Akufo-Addo in his house? What a shame!!!
JJ Rawlings is now assuring Akufo-Addo that he has the possibility of becoming President of Kwame Nkrumah’s Ghana? What a shame!!!

JJ Rawlings is begging Akufo-Addo to deal leniently with the NDC in the unlikely event that he becomes President of Ghana?
JJ should bow down his head in shame!!
JJ is a disgrace to himself and the NDC and The Informer is saying it without any equivocation.

Did JJ not spend the last three and half years insulting President Atta Mills for not maltreating members of the NPP?

Was Rawlings not upset with President Atta Mills for not torturing Kufuor, Akufo-Addo and co?

Was Rawlings not all over the place yelling because he thought that President Atta Mills was treating the NPP with kids gloves?

Did Rawlings not go berserk because President Atta Mills invited Kufuor to the Castle?

So if Rawlings insulted President Atta Mills for inviting Kufuor to the castle and treating the NPP with kids gloves, would we be wrong in insulting Rawlings for inviting Akufo-Addo to his Ridge residence and literally kissing him?
Is it not a shame that today, Rawlings is sleeping with Akufo-Addo in the same bed?

Can God and Satan sleep in the same bed? Certainly not!!!

Does JJ think that members of the NDC, are robots who have no brains and so can be manipulated by him easily?

The fact that NDC members used to respect JJ, does not meant that they are fools.

If JJ wants to fool himself, he should go ahead and do so but he should not dare think that he can fool members of the NDC.

If JJ is tired of being under the shade of the umbrella and wants to join the elephants in the bush, he should go ahead and do so without thinking that all of us under the umbrella will follow him into the bush.

After all the years of insulting Akufo-Addo and the NPP, is Rawlings not ashamed of himself for now being the chief supporter of the NPP?

Does Rawlings think that he is God, and so can determine the destiny of this country?

If Rawlings does not know; God uses even mad men and prostitutes to fulfil his purpose.

So if Rawlings was President at a point in time, he should know that God designed it so; and not because he (Rawlings) willed it so.
Rawlings does not own the destiny of Ghana, and will NEVER own the destiny of Ghana.
It is definitely good for a man to love his wife but if Rawlings wants to allow his love for his wife to make him be the proverbial fly that followed the corpse into the grave, that is his own problem.
There are many men who have allowed their wives to destroy them; and if Rawlings wants to be one of those men, let him go ahead.
President Atta Mills lived a dignified life, and was buried in dignity.
If Rawlings wants to live an undignified life, and be buried without any shred of dignity, that is his own cup of tea.
If after all the 19 years at the top, Rawlings wants to end up in the dustbin of Ghana’s political history, The Informer will help him get there.
If JJ does not know that he is just an honorary Founder of the NDC, and thinks that he really owns the NDC, he must be the greatest ignoramus of this millennium.
The NDC does not belong to any single individual, and JJ must wake up to that fact.
It is God who appoints rulers, and so JJ is not the one who will determine whether President Mahama will win the next the election or not.
Every trained eye knows that JJ did not wish for President Atta Mills to win in 2008 but God willed it so.
So if today, JJ thinks that he can stop President Mahama from winning, then JJ is a big joker.
For those of us on The Informer, we want to let JJ know that, we no longer have a shred of respect for him and will deal with him the way we deal with Akufo-Addo.
As for Akufo-Addo, it is now very obvious that he is very desperate for power that is why he is behaving like a dog and going back to eat his vomit.
That is to say, it is sad that after treating JJ with scorn and withdrawing all his diplomatic courtesies, Akufo-Addo, out of desperation, is now grovelling before JJ, and thinking that JJ is the god who will make him President.
The Informer feels very sorry for JJ and Akufo-Addo, and we know that majority of discerning Ghanaians will see through the evil agenda of the duo, and ensure that President John Mahama is given the mandate to continue to walk in the solid footsteps of the late President John Evans Atta Mills.
Jerry John Rawlings; shaaaaaaaaammme on you!!!!!
