It
has become necessary that I invite you to around table for mutual Reasoning.
Prior to this writing, I had invited Nana Addo too sometimes last year; as
contained in a piece titled; "As the clock ticks, will Nana Addo ever
learn?." I need to state this clearly lest some persons with itchy fingers
and acidic tongues begin to perceive my pen as being biased. And if they still
perceive it so, it may be due to their myopic perceptions.
Before
I engage on this journey of mutual reasoning, I would like to quickly rebuke
wholeheartedly the unpatriotic behaviours of Nana Yaw Osarfo Mafo, who hurl
stones and sachets of water at the minority regions in terms regional
contributions. His unpatriotic behaviours, although he claimed the tape was
altered, depict lack of manners in the pursuit of nationalism.
Equally,
the National Democratic Congress leaders/elders ought to caution their workers
of lawlessness now lest the situation exacerbates into a catastrophic scenario.
If these uncouth behaviours photo-shopping and voice doctoring are not nipped
in the bud now, one wonders what would happen at the heat of elections.
The
quest for change should not make us cast common sense to the wind.
"Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality," averred Edmud
Burke. Enough of these thoughtless and uncivilized behaviours.
President
Mahama, let us now reason. Agatha Christie once said, "Good advice is
always certain to be ignored, but that is no reason not to give it."
Permit me to remind you that you are NEVER the best president that Ghana has
ever had as being bandied about by your hypocritical and mendacious handlers.
Power is sweet; but its abuse leaves a sour taste on the tongue of whoever
abuses it. You may not be the worst president of this nation, but you would
surely agree with me that you are the luckiest of all.
Anyone
who disputes that your ascension to the presidency is not divine is either a
marina or alien to realities of life. In fact, Mr. President, you are a good
luck. However, your fervent quest for continuity through human efforts in a
divine position has brought you nothing but unceasing mess and a fading
popularity.
It
is an open secret that you facilitated your walk into the path of clueless;
due to your ‘Yen tie Obiaa’ attitudes.
Your purposeful actions and inactions have birthed frustrations in the land;
and thereby caused hatred in the hearts of many Ghanaians towards you. For
instance, you have never ceased to portray yourself as a President of only
Christians or an ethnic champion. At times one wonders whether you truly think
that you head a nation of multi-religious and diverse ethnic affiliations.
Please stop being a Christian or ethnic jingoist; be a Ghanaian president.
In
furtherance of objectivity, Mr. President, your deafening silence over the security
threats by your kinsmen speaks a volume of your intent towards the forthcoming
elections. Although we are used to your deafening silence; you did show it to
us during the malevolent saga of your aide, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah a.ka. Choboi,
former minister of Sports; even if you have no cause to be held responsible for
the balderdash utterances, you have the constitutional duty to caution them or
get them removed. Their songs of insults may be amusing to your hearings
because it is in tandem with your political aspirations; but I fear that if you
keep listening or dancing to it without any caution, you may end up in No-Man's
land. These babies with sharp teeth’s-become-political-thugs only know their
own limitations; they do not know what other people have in stock, in case decorum
is let out of the window.
Furthermore,
if your thought is that you will win the election as you did in 2012, then you
need to quickly discard such thought. Many Ghanaians now know that your
acquisition of shoes in the Flagstaff House has caused them ubiquitous
sufferings. If your wish is that, should in case you lose, Ghana should
disintegrate or cease to exist as prognosticated by some doom Sayers, then you
are probably not in touch with history. We had fought the (un)democratic war
and still exist; hence, this nation will live beyond you and your wish. A Ghanaian
sage once said, "In a time of political unrest, visit history to resolve
the mess; and in a time of political harmony, visit history to prevent the
mess." I am one of those Ghanaians with strong conviction that this nation
can NEVER disintegrate by God's Grace. This nation is bigger than anybody, regardless
of his political gamut.
Mr.
Mahama, I beg you to be a great man. How? A great man is different from an
eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society. You can be a
great man if you really ensure that the coming elections are freer and fairer
than the freest and fairest conducted in 2012; and making sure the elections
reflect the yearnings of many Ghanaians. Remember what Akufu Addo often says
that no Ghanaian soul is worth his political aspiration. Therefore, you must
enshrine all pragmatic steps to bring about credible elections; in order to
avoid post-elections violence.
In
time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. The truth is that you
probably mean well for this nation, but you have surrounded yourself with
sycophants and egocentric liars; who keeping deceiving you that all is well.
All is not well; our nation had been unhealthy before your administration. But
it has now been taken to the emergency unit. We hope it would not die in the
unit. If only you truly take time to reason with me, you would realize that
these sycophants have ruined your administration; except for a very few amongst
them. For the ‘ronadonic’ schemer, Rawlings’ regime to be compared to yours, it
means yours is enmeshed in a sardonic and pungent state of obtuseness.
In
conclusion, Mr. President, watch your thoughts, if your intentions are wrong
your actions cannot be right. Any discerning person that looks at the nation's
status quo in many sectors would surely see that we are in a mess. Someone
needs to clean up this stench of mess; and it seems you are honourably not fit
to do so. Your crass actions and inactions brought us here. And this clearly
brings to the fore the fact that "people who do not apply strategies end
up in tragedies." As we go to the polls again come December 7, hopefully
for free and fair elections, I wish you your best friend and cohort’s name - Good
luck.
