It’s becoming more obvious than a sore thumb on a drummer’s hand that Zu-za has got themselves a candidate that’s just not doing the trick. I mean, let’s face it. They are like a team in a football match that thought they were 4 nil up, only to realise their star striker has two left feet, and now they are scrambling as the clock ticks down.
It’s like watching a team try to pass the ball, but they keep fumbling. They know it. They can feel it. The handwriting is on the wall. And trust me, it’s not a Shakespearean sonnet, it’s more like a grocery list with one item: “We are losing!”
For a while, Zu-za was strutting around like a peacock, certain that their victory was all but guaranteed. They had their flags waving, their slogans chanting, and their confidence soaring. But then boom! Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia gets the nod from those riding the Elephant as their flagbearer. And just like that, the wind went out of their sails. You could practically hear the collective gasp. Suddenly, they looked like a confused tailor trying to sew with a spoon. Their numbers began to take a nosedive faster than a pigeon chasing after crumbs in Makola Market!
Since then, they’ve been seething, fuming, and probably googling “How to win an election when your opponent is crushing it.” But the more they gnash their teeth, the clearer it becomes that their frustration is less about their own candidate and more about how Dr. Bawumia has thrown a spanner into their well-oiled, over-confident election machine. It’s like they thought they were on a comfy trotro ride to victory, but suddenly, they’ve been dropped in the middle of a rainstorm with no umbrella.
As the election draws closer and the critical issues of the nation surface like a restless fish in shallow water, it’s becoming clearer that Zu-za’s chances are slipping away. Every new debate, every fresh policy discussion, every hard question pushes them further into the shadows, like a misplaced slipper under a bed.
The Asomdwekromanian voter is no longer the easy-to-impress fan they once were. Gone are the days when you could wave a flag, play a catchy tune, and expect everyone to fall in line. These days, the electorate is sharper, more discerning, and they’re not falling for the same old tricks. The people are watching closely.
You can’t just waltz in with the assumption that because it has been eight years of the other party’s governance, it’s automatically your turn now. Oh no! The Asomdwekromanian voter isn’t having any of that. If you come to them with empty hands and hollow promises like 24-hour economy, they will simply send you packing.
They are looking for something more substantial, something more meaningful and someone who has the mindset of possibilities and the dedication to actually push Asomdwekrom forward on the global stage. You can’t just hand them a basket and expect them to fill it with hopes. When a wise child is in the house, your mouth will be full. In other words, the people want results, not rhetoric.
And that, Abusuapanin, is where Mr. Ogwanfunu is finding himself in a fix. His grand attempts to bamboozle the electorate, to hoodwink them into giving him another shot, are falling flat like a pancake without yeast. It’s like he is shouting into a megaphone, but the battery is dying. Every time he tries to charm his way back into the hearts of Asomdwekromanians, the question arises: What’s your plan? And silence is the response. It’s like a fisherman casting his net in an empty sea – lots of splashing, but no fish.
Meanwhile, Dr. Bawumia is playing chess while the rest are playing checkers. He is the cool, calm, and collected candidate who is not just talking about problems, but offering clear, concise, and credible solutions. As the election edges closer, expect the Elephant to kick their voter engagement strategy into high gear like a trotro driver trying to beat the 6 p.m. traffic in Accra.
The game plan is simple: speak to the people directly, give them the facts, and lay out a future that is bright and attainable. As an Akan proverb literally translates, “Men pay with silver, but women with gold.” Bawumia knows the stakes are high, and he is not playing small ball.
In the next three months, it is going to be all about cutting through the noise, rising above the fray, and explaining to every Asomdwekromanian why Dr. Bawumia is the right choice for president. It is about providing solutions that resonate with everyday life – solutions for jobs, for education, for healthcare, and for the economy. These aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the building blocks of a future that is going to take Asomdwekrom from a “middle-income” tag to a nation that is competing on the global stage like a heavyweight boxer who has had his morning waakye and is ready to take on all challengers.
Dr. Bawumia represents a new dawn. A chance for Asomdwekrom to reimagine itself, to leap into the 21st century with both feet firmly planted in innovation and progress. His track record speaks for itself, and compared to the former president, he is the more credible and responsible choice. This isn’t about sentiment; it is about vision. “Deɛ opɛ sɛ ɔdaadaa Nyame, ɔdaadaa ne ho”—he who tries to deceive God, only deceives himself. Zu-za may try to spin tales, but Asomdwekromanians won’t be fooled this time.
So, as we inch closer to December 7, the all-important voting day, remember this: Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is the leader with the heart, the brain, and the vision to guide Asomdwekrom through the complexities of a rapidly changing world.
Don’t vote for nostalgia or empty promises. Vote for progress. Vote for possibility. Vote for Dr. Bawumia, and let’s put Asomdwekrom on the path to greatness! If there is no progress, then there is no point in walking in circles. The choice is clear. The decision rests with you. Let’s choose wisely for Asomdwekrom!
See you next week for another interesting konkonsa, Deo volente!
