“NPP flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo on… Nov 30, 2011, continued his display of contempt
for Islam and Muslims when he committed the mother of all sacrileges by urinating on
a mosque! … Others, however, thought that his action was unpardonable, especially
coming a couple of months after he showed contempt for Islam and Muslims by choosing
Id-Ul-Adha, an Islamic holiday to release his policy statement… Arguments continued
to rage on even as the NPP flagbearer met the Yagbonwura afterwards but the
reception from others around from thereon was cold as they grind their teeth in
anger at his continuous show of disrespect for Muslims and Islam” (Ghanaweb Dec 5,
2011).

“Boakye Agyarko, Campaign Manager of Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, has debunked
claims that the NPP flagbearer urinated on the wall of a mosque saying the NPP has
great respect for the Moslem community in the country and will not do anything so
disrespectful” (Ghanaweb Dec 6, 2011).

Nana has no contempt
No contempt for Islam
Nana doesn’t hate Islam
The NDC has it all made
NDC is desacralizing Islam
Wielding sacred Islam
Their tool of POLITRICKING
Of demonizing Akufo-Addo
It is the NDC that hates Islam

Simpa Atta Mills
Mills has it all made
Pathology of hypocrisy
And NDC is pissing
Pissing it all on NPP
Cascading piss on NPP
Caressing piss on NPP
Congressing piss on NPP
Nipping NPP with piss
And pissed-on NPP is idle
Like 37 Hospital bats
Idling during the day
Blind during sunrise
Like Korle Lagoon crabs
Feeding on acidic poison
Effusive guttered poison
Swelling flood of NDC pus
NPP feeds on NDC pus

NDC is throwing it all
Funneling propaganda
Toxins of religion
Darts of ignominy
Arrows of poison
Projectiles of infamy
Bullets of denigration
Blasts of depreciation
Shots of inferiorization
Potshots of defamation
Signposts of disrepute
Venoms of ethnicity
To demonize Nana
Ah! That Akufo-Addo
He was arrested in USA
He is a drug addict
He is an Akyem Dwarf
He is temperamental
He is not a lawyer
He is a misogynist
He is a “pisser”
He is now anti-Islam
He is toothless

Mills’ NDC is pissing
Gleeful mischief-making
Pissing it all on NPP
Pissed-on NPP is idle
Mills has it all made
NDC has it all made
Asomdwehene Mills
Atadwe Simpa Mills
Has Keta School Boys
Atta’s attack dogs
In the pay of it all
Hurling official insults
Planting propaganda
Doing Atta’s dirty job
Asomdwehene Mills
The prince of peace
The good Christian
The moralist, ethicist
The dog-lover of love
Ah! Sunset on Atta
Sunset cast shadows
Empty, empty shadows
Shadows of Simpa Atta
And Atta is a crook
Atta the hypocrite
Atta the divisive man
Atta the cruel man
Atta the sadistic man

NDC is deodorizing Nana
Deodorizing him with filth
Nana has no contempt
No contempt for Islam
Nana doesn’t hate Islam
The NDC has it all made
The NDC’s machine has it
The NDC’s propaganda
It is the NDC that hates Islam
NDC wielding sacred Islam
As a tool of POLITRICKING
Of discrediting the NPP
Of delegitimizing the NPP
Of demonizing Akufo-Addo
Of damning Akufo-Ado
It is the NDC that hates Islam
