Complacency and over bloated confidence can be very dangerous! The
Government and the NDC party must know that the battle line has being drawn
(for a very longtime). In fact it has been drawn on January 7, 2009, and has
been further activated by the election of the flagbearer of NPP, the
vindictive lousy, arrogant, inefficient and dangerous Nana ŒKapwepwe¹ Akufo
Addo.
The unleashing negative propaganda and outright lies have been intensified
in recent times. The NPP is using the media houses of their equally corrupt
heads/editors like Kwaku Baako aka MR DOCUMENT and other identifiable bodies
to do the dirty job for them.
I do not know how serious the Government and the NDC Party is taking the
revelation by the Daily Post ³How NPP plans to kick NDC out of power.² The
daily post has vivid details about NPP¹s modus operandi. The ball is now
squarely in the court of the Government and the NDC Party.
I will briefly compare NDC to the Democrats of the U.S: while the Democrats
virtually turns to Former President Bill Clinton for advice even to the
extent that he is now leading their campaign onslaught forpresident Barack
Obama and the Democratic Party in this Nov Mid-term elections in which they
find themselves in a very tight corner, some NDC government functionaries
and party executives are busy going round denigrating Former President
Rawlings for their stomach¹s sake. The Democrats are using President Bill
Clinton as campaign strategists and tapping his experience, charisma and his
star power to try to turn the midterm in their favor. The earlier we put an
end to this disrespectful, selfishness and self-destructive behavior, the
better for us.
We must effectively tap into Dr. Jerry John Rawlings¹ experience,
popularity, drive, charisma and energy to prosecute the 2012 election for
the betterment of Mother Ghana.
I was surprised to hear from a friend that she did not vote in 2000, 2004
and 2008 elections. Her reasons were very simple; former President Rawlings¹
name was not on the ballot paper! Because according to her, President
Rawlings is one person she believes truly have the people at heart. No doubt
this lady is an independent with no affiliation to any party whatsoever. I
believe there are many more people like my friend.
We must all remember that election is about numbers. The earlier the
Government and the NDC as a party revise their notes and treat President
Jerry John Rawlings¹, the founder of the NDC Party as an asset and with
respect, the better. The NPP is very much aware of the popularity, the
sincerity and the charisma of JJ and they are doing everything possible to
make him unpopular if they ever want to get to power. Unfortunately some of
our NDC folks either cannot decipher the nefarious intents of the NPP or
they are opportunists who just want to fill their stomachs (like their NPP
folks) and have joined the NPP bandwagon.
The earlier the Government and the NDC tap into the potentials of Dr.
Rawlings and use him to the benefit of the party and Ghanaians in general,
the better for us all.
Instead of insulting former President Rawlings and his wife Nana Konadu
Agyemang, I want the Government and the NDC Party¹s Communication team to
take Dr. Tony Aidoo¹s advice of putting their house in order and ³gird their
loins² to avoid the ³suffocation of Ghanaians under an avalanche of NPP
orchestrated lies and propaganda.²
May God forbid, ifNana ŒKapwepwe¹ Akufo Addo in the unlikeliest event should
win the 2012 election, a lot of government and party officials must be ready
to spend time in Nsawam ³Training College². These officials must not deceive
themselves that if they treat former NPP government appointees and officials
with kids¹ gloves, they will also be treated as such...they (NDC government
and officials) will be laughing at the wrong side of their mouths.
We must all remember the looting of Ghanaians¹ properties (Lands and
Government Bungalows etc.) and the stealing of the taxpayers¹ money by the
former NPP government.
NDC must note that the Danquah-Busia (bomb throwers and looting brigades)
and their power hungry cronies are extremely dangerous, self-centered and
wicked beings that cannot be trusted! Trusting them will be at one¹s own
peril!
Those who have ears let them listen!
