"JJ: Burning Of NDC Property Was Justified...Should've Been Done Earlier To Pressurize Mills "
If this is not a confession of Rawlings modus operandi in in forcing others to do his bidding, then I don't know what it is. We have a saying in Akan that, "ASEM A, EWO ADWEN MU NA YEDE KO DAYE MU" in simple terms, you dream about what you were thinking before falling asleep.
Rawlings in his usual mercurial and bumptious mood rode to Tamale and riled the war baiting Andanis into a frenzy taking advantage of the court ruling that set the hurriedly arranged 15 Abudus accused of Ya Na's murder free. As if this clown and yahoo has not deceived the Andanis enough after causing the murder of their Chief, Rawlings again went on a promising spree.
"Former President Jerry John Rawlings maintains that he has credible information to circumstances that led to the gruesome murder of the late King of Dagbon, Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II and others of his retinue on March 27, 2002. He says any attempt to conduct fresh investigations into the murder of the late Dagbon King will be hopeless if the basis of the exercise does not fall within the precinct of his facts on the matter."
WHEW!!!. So Rawlings holds the key in solving this murder case and he kept quiet during the trial of these individuals some of whom might be guilty free for ever? I implore the good people of Dagombaland to ignore this clown because he doesn't have their interest at heart but sees them as political pawns on his political chess board that he can manipulate at anytime. Can anybody see Nana Konadu's Agyeman Presidential campaign unfolding and taking shape and Rawlings using the Andanis as a springboard to catapault his murderer's wife dwindling campaign fortunes?
"The former President chastised the President John Evans Atta Mills’ led NDC administration over what he described as its gross incompetence in handling the Yaa-Naa murder case.
The visit was to offer him the opportunity to ascertain the reality on the ground in-connection with the vandalization and burning of of NDC property by angry NDC/Andani youth.
I am pretty sad that some unscrupulous elements in government today are skewing to hijack the party I founded out of the June 4 Uprising: but let me assure them that we are on course to bring the NDC back to its proper footing” he stressed. On the recent burning and vandalization of NDC property, former President Rawlings said it was justified but rather too late. According to him, such actions should have been executed earlier to put pressure on the Mills administration to live beyond reproach in handling the Yaa-Naa murder case. He thus reminded government of its responsibility to investigate what in his own words amounted to financial malfeasance during the eight years rule of the erstwhile Kufour led NPP administration"
Rawlings has no morals as a former head of state to subtly turn the murder of the Ya Na death into a political campaign. What has the financial malfeasance of Kuffour's administration got to do with the subjects of the Ya Na agitating for justice for their murdered chief? This is really crass on Rawlings part taking advantage of these people sorrow to embark for votes for his wife's Presidential campaign against President Mills.
"On the recent burning and vandalization of NDC property, former President Rawlings said it was justified but rather too late."
Folks, the above statement from Rawlings shows why this man is a dangerous tyrrant and he and his wife should be kept away from the Presidency of our country. As a statesman, Rawlings is at this time expected to calm the Dagombas down instead of telling them it was right for them to burn some buildings as a form of protest. WHAT IS RAWLINGS TELLING US? THAT HE SET HIS RIDGE RESIDENCE ON FIRE AS A FORM OF PROTEST FOR THE GOVERNMENT NOT GIVING HIM THE AUSTRALIAN HOUSE FOR MODERN BUILDINGS AT HIS COUMPOUND? Nana Darkwa has prescience and was able to tell the whole world that, Rawlings was responsible for setting his house on fire. After a thorough investigation by Ghana fire service, they ruled out electrical fault as the source of the fire in Rawlings house and because of lack of cojones, not able to tell us the truth that, the fire that destroyed the residential area in Rawlings compound was DELIBERATELY SET.
Rawlings believe in using fire to destroy his enemies and properties. During the Nanumba and Kokomba war, Rawlings sent the Airforce to bomb these warring factions into submission killing more than 5000 people and setting ablaze more than hundred villages. THE END RESULT OF THAT RAWLINGS FOOLISHNESS IS THE SODOM AND GOMORRA SHANTY TOWN IN THE CENTER OF ACCRA WHERE THE HOMELESS KOKOMBAS AND NANUMBAS WERE SETTLED. This was the third time Rawlings did use fire to settle scores.
The first time Rawlings used fire to destroy his enemies was when he sent his goons led by Amedeka, the same Amedeka that led the killers who abducted the Judges and the Army Officer. Amedeka and his goons abducted Yeyeboy and some village chiefs in Volta region who were brutally slaughtered like goats and their bodies set on fire, does this ring a bell? Rawlings at least has admitted sending his goons to kill Yeyeboy to show Ewes that, juju is not effective. Junior Judas killed somebody not because the person has been committed of any crime but to show that, Yeyeboy who was a fetish Priest and a village chief has no juju power.WHAT A MAN, WHAT A 'BRAVE' MAN AN AK-47 AT HAND AND JORUM OF AKPETESHIE FEED SYCOPHANTS CAN BE A WARRIOR BE CREATED.
The second time he used fire as a weapon of destruction was when he sent his chief executioner, Amedeka and others dressed in smocks to make them look like Northerners instead of the Ewes that they are and abducted three Judges, including Justice Koranteng Addo, a woman nursing a baby who has not been weaned from breast milk and deprieving that baby the love of a mother. Folks, that beautiful lady is now a 38 year old woman herself and we need to seek justice for her.
We thought old age might dim this arsonists love for fire but BOY!!, how wrong we were. The man created an alibi for himself on a a day that will live in infamy in our lore as the VALENTINE DAY INFERNO. The murderer set his house on fire by proxy. Somebody was tasked to do his dirty job for him as usual. In his attempt to create verisimilitude, he rushed from his Sogakope mansion to his ridge residence with smokes from the ashes not completely doused and put on an act that would have made Dick Tracey jealous.
Rawlings kismet is about to catch up to him because one of these days, the people he has been using will seek their pound of fresh and it will not be a pretty site.
