Letter From The President: No Tears for Kiki

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,
I was in the US when I heard about the demise of Kiki Gyan ? the former keyboard player for the renowned Osibisa Band. I was shocked and, for a while, sad. I wasn?t sad for long because I don?t think the late Mr. Gyan deserves to stay in my memory for long. He died a stupid ?owu? ? that?s the cold truth. Many Ghanaians are refusing to acknowledge the fact that Kiki Gyan is not a hero. He?s not my hero. So I am surprised and angry at the amount of newspaper columns and broadcast airtime which has been used to eulogise him since he kicked the bucket, in a toilet.
