The Peace activist who once vowed to go on hunger strike if President Kufuor and former President Rawlings insulted each other again, says he is sick and tired of political intolerance in the Country.
The self-described "real intellectual reincarnation of Ghana's first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah" who stood for Member of Parliament at Nhyiaeso Constituency in Kumasi, Ashanti Region on the ticket of the Convention People's Party (CPP) in the 2004 elections, asked Ghanaians to reject the "antagonistic traditions" of both President Kufuor and former President Rawlings in order to move the Nation ahead.
In another development, the CPP Marverick has called for "Nkrumahists Unity Talks" comprising of Pro-Nkrumahists within the CPP, NDC, PNC, GCPP, etc and to ensure that Pro-Nkrumahists within the NPP and "Floating Voters" are wooed into an "Opposition Coalition" led by the CPP - in order to win the 2008 elections in a Landslide !!!.
"Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng (Kwame Mayor) said he is willing to sacrifice to lead such an "Opposition Coalition" or "Opposition Alliance of Pro - Nkrumahists" to ensure an easy victory in the impending 2008 Ghana's Presidential Elections - in the best interest of Mother Ghana and Mother Africa.
The CPP activist has accused the ruling government of President John Agyekum Kufuor for exploiting his strategic ideas without giving him [any] credit and trying hard to stiffle his ideas, creativity and also, trying hard to destroy his Political Career.
" His Excellency, President Bush does not know what a [few] people in the ruling government have done to the former Ghanaian -American Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate, said the Pro-American and African Nationalist, "Osagyefo" Kwame Boateng who says sooner or later, he would take his case [directly] to the American people who are the real custodians of power in the United States of America - the proverbial Leader of the Free World !!!
Recently, "Osagyefo" Kwame Mayor wrote the following to the Press ...............
" The ruling government of Ghana is riding high on my [direct recommendations] to the office of the President and published ideas in the News Media --- ( My recommendations were made for the sake of the Nation's best interest !!!) " ---
"Some of my ideas warned against copying or immitation without my permission", said the man who says he has proven to the whole World that he has the brain power and leadership qualities to lead Ghana and Africa in general and that, he is many years ahead of his time.
"My letters addressed to the attention of President John Agyekum Kufuor, via the Protocol office with copies to the Office of the President and Parliament -- ( the Office of the former Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey) --- dated December 21, 2003 and January 19, 2004 respectively, logically and rationally prompted Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey's call in 2004 for Ghanaians living abroad to be allowed to vote which sparked controversy at that time and the controversy later translated into the Representation of the People's Amendment Bill (ROPAB'S) --- which [still] rages on !!!, said "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng (Kwame Mayor), who says he has 100% evidence to back his statement and that he is making this statement under Oath !!! -- ( under Penalty of Perjury under the Laws of Ghana and also, under International Laws and he is publicly challenging the President's men to [also] swear Oath ---under Penalty of Perjury under the Laws of Ghana and under International Laws] --- if what he ("Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, [Kwame Mayor]) is saying is not true.
" In 1999, I personally gave a Political Literature I had developed in 1996/1997 of which I sent copies to Ghana's Embassy in Washington, D.C. --- to His Excellency President John Agyekum Kufuor, when he and Hon. Kwadwo Mpiani visited Los Angeles, USA . ( Mr. Kufuor was then a Presidential Candidate). .....
" In the Political Literature, I called for the "importation" of South Africa's model of Truth and Reconciliation to Ghana --- ). It is therefore, rational and logical to conclude that my ideas influenced the President to establish the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) which he cast me aside and did not allow me to play any role and the same President, Kufuor has continued to cast me aside for Political reasons !!! --- in an unprecedented callousness and ingratitude which no God fearing Human Being could inflict upon his fellow Human Being, said the "Made In America" Politician known for his honest opinions and Moral Courage and like the Biblical David --- always defeats Goliaths in the end !!! .
"There is evidence to prove to the whole World that "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, ("Kwame Mayor"), the 2004 CPP Parliamentary Candidate for Nhyiaeso Constituency, was the [first] to call for "Renaming the Castle the "Black House" --- in order to attract tourism (like the White House) ---and my call to develop the Castle into a Tourist attraction - like the White House, was (immediately) followed by a request to build a "State of the Art" Presidential Palace", "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng recently wrote.
" ( It should be noted that about two days after I sent a Press Release/(News) calling for a seat of government that would attract tourism - similar to the White House, controversy erupted in Ghana's Parliament over the demand by the Majority side for $30 Million to develop the Flag Staff House --- followed by a statement by a Government Deputy Minister to develop the Castle as a Historical Site ) -- ( * Evidence : Read Sequence of events on Ghana's News Media, example : Ghanaweb.com News - entitled : Rename Castle the Black House" ...) ".
" On December 21, 2003 and January 19, 2004, "Kwame Mayor" wrote to the Protocol office with copies to the office of the President and Parliament (Office of the Honorary Speaker Peter Ala Adjetey)" .... " In the letters, "Kwame Appiah Boateng ("Kwame Mayor" requested a meeting with the President for his support for extending Voting Rights to Ghanaians living abroad. Although neither the office of the Protocol; the office of the former Speaker or the office of the President responded to Kwame Mayor, soon after - in 2003, the former Speaker, Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey called for the extension of Voting Rights for Ghanaians living abroad. ---
" If a bill, known as "ROPAB Bill" was introduced (on behalf of the President) - to allow Ghanaians living abroad to vote, then the CPP Man, "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, ("Kwame Mayor"), whose letters to the President --logically and rationally, prompted the 2004 call by the former Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Peter Ala Adjetey, for Ghanaians living abroad to vote, --- ( The debate over the Voting Rights of Ghanaians living abroad still continues - in 2006), then, he "Osagyefo" Kwame Appiah Boateng, "Kwame Mayor" has (not) been given any credit - for his 2003 and 2004 letters to t! he Protocol Office - (attention): President John Agyekum Kufuor; Office of the President, C/O: Hon. Kwadwo Mpiani, etc, that sought a meeting to discuss Voting Rights for Ghanaians living abroad". !!!
" As the interim President of Ghanaians Abroad Coalition, "Kwame Mayor" diplomatically [contributed] in appealing to the President for the [speedy] implementation of the Dual Citizenship Act, via Press Releases to the News Media and an electronic email to the Castle's Email address. A few weeks after the Press Release, the Dual Citizinship Act was [finally] implemented. --- ( Ghanaians living Abroad are thankful to all those (regardless of Political affiliations) - who made the Dual Citizenship for Ghanaians living abroad possible and for creating opportunities for Ghanaians living abroad to contribute to the development of Ghana). --- (Ghanaians abroad are also thankful to those who support their Right to participate in elections and to the Nation's development, as the Nation adapts to the age of the "New Millennium")", "Osagyefo" Kwame Mayor recently wrote.
" Furthermore, "Kwame Mayor" claims possessing evidence to prove that he [first] called for erection of statutes in honor of the Martyred Judges; [first] called for the importation of South Africa's model of Truth and Reconciliation to Ghana - via his 1996/1997 Platform - a copy was given to His Excellency, President John Agyekum Kufuor in 1999 in Los Angeles --- before Mr. Kufuor became President, (in the company of Hon. Kwadwo Mpiani, current Minister of Presidential Affairs; "Kwame Mayor's 19996/1997 Platform or Political Literature also called for extending Voting Rights to Ghanaians living abroad of which copies were sent to Ghana Embassy in Washington, D.C., Mr. Spio Gabral could have been the Ghana's Ambassador at the time Kwame Mayor mailed his documents to the Embassy and Nana Effa Appenteng, Ghana's current Ambassador to the United Nations wrote to Kwame Mayor later on.
" The fact that Kwame Mayor mailed copies of his Political Literature to Ghana's Embassy where Mr. Spio Gabral was the Ambassador, provides a clue why former President Jerry John Rawlings mentioned extending Voting Rights to Ghanaians Living Abroad in 1996 !!! - ( Perhaps, as a Political Rhetoric). ---( The same 1996/ 1997 Platform called for "Setting up Truth and Reconciliation in Ghana)".*
" Kwame Mayor's abortive Yaa Asantewaa demonstration's objectives - (copies were given to the former Deputy Police Commander in Ashanti Region, Mr. Opare Addo and the Records office of the Ashanti Regional Pol! ice - ( in which "Kwame Mayor" clearly stated that some of the objectives of the "Yaa Asantewaa Demonstration" were to focus attention on the Neo-Colonialist and Imperialist State of Ghana; a demand for Economic Dialogue with the World's Powerful Economic Inst! itutions to soften thier harsh impositions; a call for a SYMBOLIC GOVERNMENT for a future Continental African Union Government and a call for "Yaa Asantewaa Festival" to be celebrated on an **(annual basis),* etc --- "Kwame Mayor" insists that it is rational and logical to conclude that his objectives of the abortive "Yaa Asantewaa Demonstration" were faxed or mailed by the Ashanti Regional Police to government --- since it can be proven to all rational minds that Government controlled Radio Ghana was used to broadcast the ruling government's call for a "SHADOW GOVERNMENT" for a future Continental African Union government - (which was part of "Kwame Mayor's" objectives in the abortive "Yaa Asantewaa Demonstration")" .
" All of "Kwame Mayor's" abortive "Yaa Asantewaa Demonstration" have all been announced or implemented by the ruling government since after he had submitted! copies to the Ashanti Regional Police and announced his objectives a number of times on FOXFM Radio station, in a few Months, Ghana weaned itself from IMF and to emphasize once again, Government's controlled Radio was used to announce government's preferance for a "Shadow Government" for a Continental African Union Government.
" Furthermore, since the objectives of the abortive "Yaa Asantewaa Demonstration" were announced, the Center for Culture and its affiliate have announced an (annual) celebration of "Yaa Asantewaa Festivals".
