Letter From The President (XXXIII): Strategies for recapturing the Black Star Stool

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents, welcome to 2004.

I am going to make history this year and I entreat you all to be part of the history-making process. This year, my name will go into the history books as the first truly civilian president to be elected to office for a second term. Most of you think that Jerry Boom holds that record. Well, I don’t think so. For a start, he was not a civilian (don’t they say that once a soldier always a soldier?) He also did not actually win the election in 1992. For evidence, go and read The Stolen Verdict. By the end of the year, I hope to get Professor Adu-Boahene (I wish him speedy recovery) to write my name in one of his history books as this country’s first truly civilian president to be elected to office for a second term.
