The Liars are the NPP Treasure Hunters

The Idiot-of-Irmo, South Carolina, just published an article captioned “NPP Now a Party of Liars…” (See Starrfmonline.com / Ghanaweb.com 11/14/15). He is so full of his own self-importance that he chooses to call it a “statement” or “press release.” He also used this occasion of his characteristically intemperate tirade to inform those who give a hoot that he has now moved to the State of California to ply his trade. And so I guess now we’ll apt to rename him the Cretin-of-California. I thought the California Gold Rush occurred in way back in the nineteenth century. But with Treasure Hunters like McHypocrite, you never know. There may be a cache of “precious yellow” hidden somewhere. Not long ago, the naturalized Asante native of Fante-Asebu informed the world that he had invested too much of his “treasure” in the New Patriotic Party to part ways with the same. In short, if he cannot ride in the saddle of the horse he paid so dearly to help purchase into the Jubilee-Flagstaff House, none else would be permitted to do so.

The Cretin-of-California also claims to be exasperated by what he terms as the “politics of insults” that has taken full grips of Ghana’s most progressive party; and yet, he has the impudence to call the New Patriotic Party’s 2016 Presidential Candidate “Mr. All-Die-Be-Die.” Now, this is the undeniably uncouth language of a hypocrite; and yet, the medical-license-renting charlatan would have his audience believe that he is generously endowed with an acute sense of moral integrity which he, somehow, shares with most of the leadership of the party. How pathetic! I bet if INTEGRITY smacked him upside the head tomorrow, he would not know what hit him. He might even accuse Nana Akufo-Addo of having dispatched a squad of “Akyem-Mafia goons” to his new California residence, wherever it may be, to do him in.

Well, if the Cretin-of-California does not know this, then he ought to be informed in plain language – there is such a thing as judicially admissible “circumstantial evidence” in the matter involving the brutal acid-dousing assassination of Mr. Mahama Adams, the Upper-East’s Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who was viciously ambushed by elements of the party widely alleged to be members of the Kufuor-Kyerematen faction. But what bears repeating here, for the umpteenth time, since the Cretin-of-California and his ilk appear to be clearly deaf and woefully bereft of good conscience and moral integrity, is the fact that in the wake of the brutal assassination of Mr. Mahama, Mr. Paul Afoko, then substantive NPP National Chairman, went public and claimed that his criminally convicted younger brother, Mr. Gregory Afoko, had not in any way been involved in that indescribably savage attack, and that the latter had actually been fast asleep at the time of the occurrence of the same. The NPP National Chairman had also added that the motorbike by which his younger brother could have committed such heinous crime, had been thoroughly examined by the police in the Afokos Bolgatanga home, some five-hundred miles away from Elder Brother Paul, and found to be ice-cold. What this clearly tells any critical thinker is the fact that the Afoko Brothers had evidently been poised to committing what Americans call the “perfect crime.” They had hoped to handily get away with Mr. Mahama’s murder and possibly lavishly celebrate such bloody deed at some point in the near future.

Well, as I have often insisted, Divine Providence/God, unlike the Cretin-of-California, is not that stupid. For not only would Mr. Gregory Afoko be shortly arrested and named prime suspect in the assassination of Mr. Mahama but, even as I write, the ex-convict would be placed in police and judicial custody and be awaiting trial. We have also since learned, via media reports, that Mr. Gregory Afoko had actually misdirected police detectives and investigators to the home of one of his accomplices, Mr. Asabke Alangdi, and succeeded in affording the latter temporal room for escape. As of this writing, Mr. Alangdi and his wife were reported to be still on the run, having left behind the couple’s breastfeeding infant. Unless he is the pathological buffoon that he has always been widely known to be, no man of “integrity,” a word he likes to nauseously throw about, can boldly look Ghanaians and his fellow political travelers in the eye and confidently claim that there is absolutely no evidence, whatsoever, linking Chairman Paul Afoko to the brutal Mafia-style assassination of Mr. Adams Mahama. The slain man was also widely known to be the arch-nemesis of the suspended National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party.

There is a maxim which runs as follows: “Show me your friend, and I’ll tell you your character.” Well, Dr. McHypocrite has every right to call Nana Akufo-Addo “Mr. All-Die-Be-Die,” but the fact of the matter is that those among the NPP top-hierarchy doing the actual killings belong to the Kufuor-Kyerematen faction of the New Patriotic Party, of which group the Cretin-of-California is a “leading member.” There is another wicked irony here; the former Idiot-of-Irmo, South Carolina, claims that the turmoil rocking the New Patriotic Party has been largely generated by the influx of too many Nkrumacrats belonging to the rump-Convention People’s Party (r-CPP). But the fact of the matter is that his own closest lock-step buddy, Dr. McNasty (aka Tarzan / Dr. Charles Wereko-Brobby) recently confessed that he has always been a Leftist of CPP and NDC leanings. Dr. Wereko-Brobby, as we all know, was suspended from the party some two years ago. And so upon what basis of “integrity” does the Cretin-of-California stand to impugn the integrity of the respectable men and women who constitute the membership of the NPP-NEC and the party’s National Council? And who, by the way, is the Cretin-of-California?
