region labouring in the scorching sun, with many of them, with their
children on their back as they carry loads of goods on their head to
make ends meet, I ask myself.....
"What shall it profit a Northerner to vote for a heartless,
purposeless, shameless, clueless, vision less and a hopeless
Northerner as a president to worsen his/ her living conditions"?
Even a "wakye" seller from my Zongo Community will be
smart enough to detect that investing in guinea fowls that can
disappear to Burkina Faso within the twinkle of an eye is a bad
business. It's unfortunate that John Mahama who is not competent
enough to even run a Super market has rode on the back of ethnicity,
vote buying and vote rigging to be President of a great nation like
Ghana.
Today John Mahama who claim to be a youth, born in
the era of modern Ghana, and not from the Gold coast, colonized Ghana,
has left the youth in a state of despondency, with his crass
corruption, mediocrity, self denial, economic mismanagement,
institutional lawlessness, and misplaced priority.
You can use the national coffers to buy cars for
university ladies and chiefs for votes. You can use the national
coffers to compromised the Electoral Commission to rig an election in
your favour, but it you can never succeed as a leader when you and
your cronies eat the "meat down to the bone" in the name of dubious
judgement debts.
First of all, is it a crime to be an Akan? Are
Akans not Ghanaians? In any case, the Akans form the Majority of
ethnic groupings in Ghana. The Akans cover five regions out of the ten
regions of Ghana, from Brong Ahafo, Ashanti, Eastern, Western and the
Central region. According to the Current national population census,
the Akans form 43% of the national population. If the NPP is truly an
Akan party, the NPP will win every credible general elections till
thy kingdom come.
It was the so called Akan party, under J.A kuffour
that initiated the free maternal care that benefited Ghanaians from
all walks of life.
When the so called Akan party of the NPP administration introduced
the National Health Insurance Scheme, both Northerners, voltarians and
other minority ethnic groups benefited from it and continue to do so.
The school feeding programme the NPP introduced
cut across ethnic lines. Up till date, Ghanaians from different ethnic
groups are benefiting from the National youth employment programme the
NPP introduced. It was the so called Akan party under J.A Kuffour
that injected millions of Cedis into the Keta sea defense project.
If the NPP happens to be Akan dominated party and
will continue to serve the best interest of Ghana, then so be it!
When I took on the stomach politician of the moment, Dr. Nyaho
Tamakloe, for his flawed allegation of ethnic imbalance of the NPP
national committees, a person whom I used to mistaken to be a rational
being by name C.Y Andy. K called me a bloke and a fool. I thought
he'll be smart enough to attack the substance of my argument, not
knowing that he is too ethnocentric minded to be logical and objective
in attacking me.
The facts that some tribal bigots use this web to
make disparaging remarks about other ethnic groups doesn't mean that I
should allowed it to blind my sense of objectivity and join the chorus
of that absurdity. C.Y Andy K, you should rise above the morass of
ethnicity and start visualizing your people as a one common tribe
called Ghana, regardless of the tribal arrogance some tribal bigots
unfortunately display on this plat form. C.Y Andy K, be the change you
want to see. Don't behave like those you criticize.
I refuse to throw out the baby with the bath
water. I'd rather support the cause of the so called Akan party, the
NPP that serves the best interest of the state rather than to support
the NDC that collaborates with Roland Agambire and his Azontaba group
to loot the nation at the expense of the North. When the swindler of
the century, Alfred Agbesi Woyome through the assistance of government
officials duped the state, did Voltarians benefitted from the booty?
It's pathetic how Northerners who are in charge of the SADA, are
milking the coffers of this initiative extremely dry to the
disadvantage of the North.
I urge the NDC and John Mahama to back their
rhetoric's with action by making voltarians and Northerners feel they
really have their interest at heart.
C.Y Andy K, before you insult me next time, you
need to connect your tongue to your brain. SMH! (shaking my head!!!!).
