Mahama’s government must prove themselves.

Any momentary triunph you have gained through Argument is really a pyrrhic victory ; the resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and last longer than any momentary change of opinion . it is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions , without saying a word. Mahama do demonstrate and not explicate.

Many will consider the claim of NPP that the current NDC government is pregnant with corruption as propaganda, an attempt to play some subtle mind game with ghanaians in their bid to get the trust of the people back and get the people lose hope in NDC government .

NDC must act fast before NPP would get others to succumb to their claims. As things stands now, majority of Ghanaians do not believe in NPP due to their behaviour, right from the onset of the game. I mean two years before the 2012 elections, NPP’s behavior simply bored Ghanaians.

They started by calling for the introduction of biometric votes claiming that will help curb and avoid any form of rigging. The ruling Government then agreed, right from then, the infamous all die be die mantra followed which played a major role in getting more people falling out of the favour of the flag bearer of NPP Nana Akuffo Addo . As if that was not enough, they went ahead attacking some media men, one of which led to the scandal of the dismissal of one radio presenter Bobie Ansah.

What even made their case worse was,(NPP) when the loud mouth Kennedy Agyapong sat on radio station declaring war, calling for the asantes in the Ashante region to lynch all the gas and ewes, and claiming they will resist the police and deffend themselves, if they mean to win the mind of the electorates, kennedy could have known that some ewes and gas are also sympathisers of NPP and will revert right away to the opposite.Did it stop there ? No ,The out of control General secretary of NPP Owusu Afriyie’ sir john’ also came in, making empty threats, we will match them booth for booth, we will defend our selves, we will leave no stone unturned and the likes.

Meanwhile, before all those hulaballoo, they almost got ghanaians believeing in their propaganda using the judgement dept as a tool, attacking and infuriating the government. Short after people began succumbing to their lies and propaganda , they naively (NPP) went jubilating on hearing the rumour of the death of prof, Mills after He Nana Addo has wished the late prof, a rapid recovery. Ghanaians began to notice how propangandrous NPP’s claim was, the audience became bored.

Moreover, some of the northners did not bother any of all these, they still stick to NPP till Ursola Owusu baged in with her loose and immoral talk claiming, had it not been free education, John Mahama and his northners would be rearing cattles by now, that got the northners who believed in the course of NPP to fall out . It still went ahead ,when another childish behaviour came in from kennedy saying NPP and Nana Addo were not worth dying for . In effect, these kinds of ill mannered behaviour among others bored the audience.

This time around, NPP have got enough tool to use in sabotaging Mahama’s government. With the rot in GYEEDA, the refusal of the government to publish the report of the committee of GYEEDA and the claim that His Government has messed up oil money. Be it real or false, Mahama must put his feet down to make sure that anybody that gets involved in a corruptive act goes down. No need to come out defending, no need to come out denying, prove your self by demonstration and do not explicate. Act now or they succed in enriching their propaganda.
