Akufo-Addo-Bawumia's hospital projects – True or false, o, ye NDC lying folks?

John Mahama And Nana Akufo Addo President Nana Akufo Addo with his vice, Mahamudu Bawumia

It has just been conveyed to my attention by my trusted brother-in-law, a respectable legal practitioner, the enviable achievements by President Nana Akufo-Addo and his Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in hospital projects.

Are the NDC going to deny credit to President Akufo-Addo/Dr Bawumia for the realisation of the hospitals as specified below?

Are they rather going to credit them to Mr John Dramani Mahama and the NDC as they normally, but deceitfully do all the time?

Has John Mahama now grown such a big brain capable of thinking, and able to build that many hospitals?

This question is posed to the public upon the simple understanding and the common public knowledge that Mr Mahama has himself written in his book “My first Coup d’etat”, that he has since his infancy not been able to think out, or take, any decision by himself.

Can a person with such self-confessed magnitude of disability ever be able to initiate the thought of, let alone, building that many hospitals of vast national economic and health benefits? I doubt it.

When will the NDC learn to give the devil his due? When will the NDC cease believing that all Ghanaians are fools hence they can take us as such all the time?

Yes, all Ghanaians may have a short memory as proudly asserted by Mr John Dramani Mahama but all Ghanaians cannot be fools all the time. This claim by me is supported by Abraham Lincoln, who said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”

Who was Abraham Lincoln, you may ask? “Abraham Lincoln was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865.”

Are the hospitals indeed built to their various stages as hereby indicated?

For that of Kumawu which is about a kilometre or two away from my teak plantation, it is real and fully operational. When it was then 80% + completed, I passed by the area and could attest to its veracity. I even published an article about it.

Now that it is completed and fully operational, I have been made aware of it. As I speak, the remains of one of my wife’s eldest sisters, Madam Juliana Ataa, the wife of Mr Kwabena Opoku, once my Senior School Prefect at Kumawu L/A Middle School in 1970, is in that hospital’s morgue.

NDC serial callers, NDC members, agents, and assigns, do the listed hospitals in this publication exist in their specified stages of completion? Please answer me in YES or NO. I don’t want any ifs or buts.

Were they constructed by Mr John Dramani Mahama, but credit unfortunately given to Nana Akufo-Addo/Dr Bawumia?

Did John Mahama initiate the free Senior High School education? Anyone believing that Mr Mahama introduced the free Senior High School education was either born yesterday or must be sick in their head, if I should be frank with them.

Bravo to “Addo Show Boy “and his humble “driver’s mate” Dr Bawumia. More grease to their elbows!
