Maybe somebody failed to tell the NDC Party that the election was held on December
7th, 2012 and it was awarded the prize of victory through the benevolence of Dr
Afari Djan whose carelessness has left the country sitting on pins and needles
waiting for the Supreme Court to sort things out after the mess left behind by the
Electoral Commission led by him.
What does the NDC want from Ashanti region? The region is part of Ghana and a
stronghold of the opposition NPP so what? Don't we have the right to vote for any
party or individual we want to vote for? What is this "Ashantiphobia" nonsense going
on in Ghana spearheaded by the NDC Leaders? As the party in power, NDC is supposed
to bring the country together after the elections but it seems they are bent on
dividing the country on their obnubilate statements weaved intricately in
insuniations.
One of the NDC Newspapers falsely reported about five days ago that, people in
Kumasi were celebrating after the Blackstars were eliminated from the AFCON by
Burkina Faso. This was patently not true but it has become the agenda of the NDC
propaganda machine to expose Asantes to ridicule by creating enmity between the
Asantes and the rest of the country. There is no city or region in Ghana that
supports the Blackstars more than the Ashanti region. Why refer to Blackstars now as
the Asante Blackstars? Is it because the Coach is an Asante? Some of us went into
deep depression after we lost to Burkina Faso and it hurts for a section of the
populace to write as if the Asantes are unpatriotic.
What did we do wrong for a kinchin jacobin like Haruna Iddrisu to ask the Ashanti
Region designated Regional Minister whether Northerners and Ewes are safe in Ashanti
Region? Is there a tribal war going on in Ashanti region where Northerners and Ewes
are being killed that has not been reported? This atavistic nonsense from a swollen
headed idiot Haruna Iddrisu cannot be swept under the carpet because there seems to
be a real agenda by NDC to isolate Ashanti region from any developmental plans by
this government. Why is Haruna not asking his Asante wife whether the Northerners in
his wife village who are cocoa labourers have been killed. My dyslogistic with
Haruna is based solely on his childish vituperations and not his tribal or political
affiliations. I've heard Haqruna has Presidential aspirations and if this is how he
wants to achieve his aim, then he has shot himself in the foot.
Let the NDC take it to the Bank that, Ashanti region will continue to vote for NPP
no matter what and if that is a problem for them, maybe then we would not mind
seceding from the country Ghana and we will do well on our own. Asahanti region as a
country will be an oasis of utopia on Africa continent.
Ashanti Region is the safest place for any tribe in Ghana because of the nature of
Asantes. We have all tribes in every town and city in the region who have lived
harmoniously with Asantes without any recorded tribal conflict with anybody losing
his or her life and it is rather unfortunate a Minister who should know better is
beating tribal war drums. Let Haruna be aware that, Northerners are safer in Ashanti
region than they are in his own Northern region. It is only in Ashanti region where
the Ewes Chief and other tribal chiefs are recognized at Manhyia Palace and
admitted to participate in all deliberations at the Asanteman Council.
Let's assume if Mr Sarpong would have said Northerners and Ewes were not safe in
Ashanti region. What would Haruna have done as a Minister? Will he have called for
repatriation of Northerners and Ewes to their regions or he would have called for
the Army and the Police to go to Ashanti region and protect the Ewes and
Northerners?
Let's thank God that despite the way we vote in Ghana, we still can live together
without killing each other based on our tribes or the party we support and Haruna
Iddrisu should be ashamed of himself for trying to create a problem where none
exist. If he wants to protect the Northerners, he should rather go to the North and
protect them from their own chieftancy disputes that have been the bane of the
Northern regions underdevelopment and not Asantes, OH!! PLEASEEEE.
Justice Sarpong
