I continue to marvel at the terrorist and corrupt NDC party that had since inception as the AFRC, then PNDC, transmogrified to its present impishness. Efforts by the goons of this terrorist organisation to make it holy and angelic are backfiring, worsening their case to the electorate. The drug barons of this wart in Ghana’s political body might have forgotten the Shakespearean quote, “The evil that men do lives after them”.
It is so unfortunate to hear vile statements coming from the pongy mouths of NDC members. Recently, I heard Kwadwo Twum Boafo, Executive Secretary of the Free Zones Board, exhibit his indecency by claiming that the NPP is a terrorist organisation. Sometimes, one can just not but cry for Mother Ghana. What at all did we do wrong in this country?
It certainly is a case of calling a pot black when the filth and rot that the NDC reeks of is blacker and much more potent than the pot they are denigrating. Here is a bit of history:
1. Rawlings came to Power, having stepped on the shoulders of others to campaign a “House Cleaning Exercise”. His junta killed people for possessing sums of money over 50,000 cedis in those days. Their crime was that GOD had given them wealth. Today, he is amongst the wealthiest in Ghana, it is said. This is terrorism, or isn’t it? Certainly the terrorism of June 4th 1979 and 31st December 1981 shall remain in the garbage of history.
2. As he continued messing up, thieving gurus in his government, some of whom make up John Mahama’s, packed money as if the Bank of Ghana was theirs by right of bequest. The killing went on in all ways unimaginable. Is that not terrorism?
3. Ritual murders for holding on to power continued unabated so that his lot would maintain their hold on power. Isn’t that terrorism?
4. Rawlings’ aide would snatch women from their husbands to serve JJ and no one dared say a word. Is that not social terrorism?
5. NDC thrived thus far on intimidation and coercion, is that not terrorism?
6. An assassination attempt on the life of Honourable Martin Amidu by NDC terrorists was made when he was named Presidential running mate in one of the NDC election endeavours. Is that not terrorism?
7. The driver who collided with Rawlings’s car on the Tema Motorway died in prison under mysterious circumstances, isn’t that terrorism?
8. Rawlings’s body guard suddenly died and his family continues to cry foul, isn’t that terrorism?
9. Continuous threats of acid attacks by NDC scamps on their constituency executives, isn’t that terrorism?
10. Selfless and innocent Ghanaians were jailed by the (P)NDC and remained incarcerated for a long time without trial, isn’t that terrorism? By the way, under this NDC regime, many are still languishing at Nsawam and other prisons, innocently and without trial. I hope that is not going to be referred to as a mere hiccup, like you would normally say.
11. Ghana’s educational status is now at the bottom of the international list, is that not “Educational terrorism” that the NDC has inflicted on the Ghanaian, who deserves the best Free and Quality education?
12. Wilful insouciance by members of John Mahama’s government towards the masses and Ghanaians dying from xenophobia abroad, wouldn’t that be called third party terrorism to which NDC has turned a blind eye?
13. The ever increasing cost of fuel despite the continuous fall in the price of crude oil, isn’t that economic terrorism?
14. NDC has run down the very establishments that brought some measure of relief to the ordinary Ghanaian who cannot afford a daily full square meal, like NHIS, government hospitals, SSNIT etc, is that negligence not terrorism? Terrorism of our livelihoods?
15. When your NDC was preparing for their National Congress, those members who were beaten to pulp, the others who were hacked almost to death and the irate thugs/criminals who fired into supporters of opponents, are they not terrorists?
Then for a sad but singular attack that killed Chairman Adams, which millions of people suspect the NDC to be behind and are waiting for the Police to make known the investigation results of, you and other loud mouths are all over the waves exhibiting exceptional absurdity that is quite inherent in your genes.
There is an Arab saying that, “if your house is made of glass, do not stone others’”.
It is shocking and bemusing, though, that, your lot, such aimless, hopeless, visionless and missionless people, are allowed space on the airwaves to make mockery of our Ghanaian identity.
Kwadwo Twum Boafo, SHUT UP!
