An election loss feud, hurled before the SUPREME COURT

A party’s resolve for LEGAL clarity after an electoral game


There she stood, a journalistic story teller i.e. PETITIONER


In print and online, feeding the avid readers, RESPONDENTS


Fellow journalists filed AFFIDAVITS/ENTRIES, strong & good


But hers came tops after COLLATION FORMS were released

DUPLICATE award that night for politics and court reporting


TRIPLICATE to the above, our 2014 best journalist authored


Completing Graphic’s QUADRUPLICATE swoop that night


KPMG counted pink sheets as did the GJA with submissions


At least with no fear of CONTEMPT, concerns fair and square

In came the OBJECTIONS post Aku’s deserved triumph


Finally, in came the awards panel to OVER RULE them all


With no proof of tampering with PINK SHEETS/AWARDEES


Right indeed were the records on the DECLARATION SHEET


With ADDRESSES full of humility presented on Joy FM SMS

EXHIBITS of her hard work are engraved in the Daily Graphic


No ‘COUNSELS’ however critical, can smear the GJA verdict


Awards PANEL decision, t’was final, t’was right, t’was Aku


A thorough AUDIT of her zeal and deserved accolade


And even post the triumph, Aku’s EXHIBITS aren’t contestable

Moving On Up – ON ON YOU GO!
