Ada ignites 31st December movement 2025

So on one faithful day in Ghana's Parliament, one of Ghana's most disgraceful
Members of Parliament, a lawmaker labelled Dr Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings, the
Member of parliament for Klottey-Korley Constituency as the daughter of a killer/murderer?

Sadly, Parliament is still silent on all CCTV cameras and videos in its chambers.

Zanetor defended her father, the late Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings, Ghana's former Military leader and later democratically elected under the fourth constitutional regime.

She said he never led any blood flow revolutionary movement; rather, it was an all of Ghana collective cry, including market women, students, and all.

I salute you Zanetor, a proud Ewe woman.

Then Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, MP for Ketu South constituency in Ghana, and General
Secretary of the ruling NDC's "mere sycophants and bootlickers" outburst is directed at whom?

They all have a genuine cause to say when things are going wrong at the party, in my opinion.

Yeah true.



Who dreamt of that third-term idea and the constitutional review under President John Dramani Mahama?

Luckily, the president has been cleared positively, rather under his tenure, Ghana shall henceforth begin a five-year term for all the incoming Presidents if passed into law in Ghana.

So who are those bootlickers and sycophants in the ruling NDC party? Fiifi's outburst?



People said it's because both Dr Zanetor Rawlings, Fiifi Kwetey, and Ada East MP, Doyoe Kudzoe-Ghansah received no ministerial positions.

It's a lie.

Doeyo Ghansah only shouted about the achievements and developmental projects the late former President Jerry John Rawlings brought to the good people of Ada.

Can't mention good drinking water, eliminating all water-borne diseases, electricity, solving the Ada Songor lagoon problem, good roads in the district, amongst a lot.

Which I shall touch on later with emotions and paragraphs in disorder later on because of my outburst too.

Doyoe, before I caught you off guard, let me remind you to solve the Ada-Kasseh bad road problem, provide good pipe-borne water, and put an end to the rampant selling of all the islands' lands at Ada and all its enclaves at Pediatorkorpey by some Chiefs in Ada.

A thing that the President, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, must step in as late Rawlings did to save the Ada Songor, if he is a true cadre, a democrat, and truly belongs to the 31st December Movement.

The people on the Pediatorkorpey, Aflive, Alorkpem, Azizakpey, Tuanikopey islands at Ada, and the good people of Mepe, and most parts of the Volta Region are already suffering from the September 2023 Akosombo Dam spillage disaster.

The President has no compensation that has been paid to a single household in all the places I mentioned; we need them now.

To the chiefs of Ada, please, the selling of all the islands, President, we say it must stop now.

The farmlands, fish hoods, reserved rivers, and all sacred forests on the island are taken over and sold out.

Where shall we dwell, President Mahama?

The people are asking you where we shall dwell in the island communities?

We gave you massive votes.

Back to my main issue, President, please, I can remember under your regime, one of your DCEs said, "Who said tweea," and he was immediately removed from the office.

So please, if even no ministerial positions for Zanetor, President, let Parliament, through the Speaker of Parliament, Alban S. Kingsford Bagbin, find out who the MP who insulted the innocent daughter of Rawlings or she will never forgive you, President.

Like the late legend Bob Marley said, "let us chase those crazy baldheads out of town" in the NDC so Fiavi Fifi Kwetey would be at peace, and be pleased for the good job for the "old men" and cadres in the party matters.

My hometown godfather from North Tongu in my mother's hometown from Tongu and Aveyime, you have done it all, North Tongu boy.

Although I am older than you with full respect, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP for North Tongu and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel George (Minister of Communication and Digital Technology, also MP for Ningo Prampram, Chief Executive Officer, Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, and Government Spokesperson Ofosu Kwakye, MP for Abura-Asebu- Kwamankse and Minister for Government Communications at the Presidency.

The founder of the great National Democratic Congress Party, Jerry John Rawlings, AKA "Papa J," once described you guys as "Babies with sharp teeth" in one of his "boom" speeches.

I am just a spectator, President.

A word to the wise is enough.

We know you can do and move Ghana forward as young guys, full of jealousy toward others in the Party.

But all the Volta Region Members of Parliament, with due respect, including Ada East and West, kindly help your good people to get their compensations as a result of the Akosombo Dam spillage three years ago; your people are still suffering.

We understand your outburst, but fix Volta and Ada now.

God bless His Excellency, the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama.

Long live the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, long live Ghana, and long live all cadres of the great NDC party.

But lest I forget, President, where is the team ORAL - Operation Recover All Loot?

Ghanaians are watching you and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, North Tongu MP, ooh! Hmm.!!!

The 44th edition of the movement's commemoration held at Ada East was muddy, more than the June 4th and the 31st December uprisings.

Peace in NDC we called for.

On 17 May 1985, Margaret "Maggie" Kuwornu, a young pregnant woman, was gunned down during a police raid at Songor Lagoon, a woman from my island, Aflive-Mateytsekopey on the Pediatorkorpey island my real family blood in a brackish tragedy at Bornikopey, around the Ada Sorngor Lagoon when she wasn't involved, an event concerning taking over of the Ada Songor Salt lagoon by a private company, a historic gesture achieved by the late Head of State Jerry John Rawlings instantly reverting the Songor to the people of Ada as a tribute to the death of the innocent pregnant woman.

President Mahama, my family from the said village has not been compensated till now.

My dear mother, Madam Victoria Aku Azumah, the oldest woman at Alorwusodekopey on the same island, lost her life as a result of the Akosombo Dam water spillage evacuation.

Doyoe and Kissi Bessey of Ada East and West, respectively, the same thing is happening just under your watch as Members of Parliament for the respective districts.

I just got bored now, when Gabriel Barima AKA Tweaa DCE, of Ahafo Ano South District, and Victoria Hammah said words by mouth, you fired them.

President John Mahama, please call your party to order.

The NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah AKA General Mosquito, Victoria Hammah, and Gabriel Barima AKA Tweaa DCE, were ousted by just comments.

The cadres want all corrupt officials under the National Patriotic Party (NPP) prosecuted as soon as possible.

Let the prosecutions start now; cadres want all corrupt past government officials prosecuted now.

Tsooo boouiiiii!!!, Tsooo boouiiii!!! All cadres called; they all saw and heard of all the 31st December movements brouhaha, alas, let the blood flow now, look at that recklessly, careless, mischievous, and shameful statement against the daughter of the late former President of Ghana, Rawlings, Zanetor Rawlings.

Even if Ghana's former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, cannot be arrested and brought home to Ghana from the United States of America to be charged for alleged financial crimes, corruption, and all financial malfeasance against the state.

No matter how the chronological arrangements of my paragraphs it's just a plea and an anger I can not arrange from the NDC cadres, and all is from the mouthpiece of the great NDC cadres.

God bless NDC.
