Mahama: Find Akonfem & Let Kpegah do His Job

*By Akadu Ntiriwa Mensema, PhD

“Ghana’s President, Mr. John Mahama, has said his party, the National Democratic Congress, won the 2012 presidential poll ‘cleanly and fairly’ and, therefore, confident the Supreme Court will re-affirm that victory… Our victory was won cleanly and fairly, and that justice will be served and cannot come to any other conclusion than acknowledging the very transparent, free and fair victory that we won at the elections and so I’d ask you while the Court case continues, to continue to strengthen the base of the party.’ Mr. Mahama told party supporters at the Headquarters in Accra to mark the NDC’s 21st anniversary” (Ghanaweb June 10, 2013).

Mahama just focus

On the missing akomfem crises

Look for missing akomfem

The 15 million cedis worth of akomfem

Look for the akomfem

The 15 million cedis worth of akomfem

In the deserted North

In the vast abandoned North

Full of sad, sad SADA saddled deserts

The akomfem can easily be traced

Like the movement of the sun

In the deserted North

Look for the akomfem

In the deserted North

Full of sad, sad SADA saddled desert

Full of trees of forest of lies

Inhabited by akomfem

15 million cedis worth of akomfem

The miragic and magical akomfem

In the deserted North

Full of trees planted by SADA

Full of trees of forest of lies

Sad, sad SADA saddled desert

There in the treeless North

Sad, sad saddled SADA North

There, there find akomfem

Leave alone the Supreme Court

In the competent hands of judges

In the competent hands of Kpegah

The homeless bat of 37

He who never builds

Leave the Supreme Court

In the competent hands of Kpegah

Mahama just focus on Kpegah

Kpegah will the elections for you
