Where was our president from Sept. 15 to 21?

  • NDC: Kufuor went abroad for urgent medical treatment or he simply decided to get out of the country to relax or he was in Morocco at his $4million mansion.

  • NPP/Government: _____

  • Media: _____

Since the NDC cannot stick to one story and the government and media have all of a sudden gone dumb, I’ll tell the good people of Ghana where our president was

On the night of Sept 14, a spinning, flashing object like a saucer was spotted close to the HIPC junction. President Kufuor was abducted by aliens from outer space for experimental purposes. After tense negotiations and several failed escape attempts, the aliens finally agreed to release him, provided he never divulge what he saw there. Since he is in no hurry to repeat this experience, he will rather remain silent…and that is the reason the whole country is left in the dark.

If you don’t believe me, ask Mr Andrew Awuni (Press Secretary and Presidential Spokesman) or Mrs Oboshie Cofie (Minister for information). If they deny my story then ask them “Where was president Kufuor from September 15 to 21?" … remaining silent is not an option.
