Asiedu Nketia
We have pointed it out for the umpteenth time that the way some political elders talk especially in the run-up to the December polls denies them of the reverence which goes with the age bracket in which they fall.
They appear to be challenging the state of sovereign Ghana by their reckless utterances.
Of course they do not qualify to be role models for our youth.
The Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has gained notoriety for spewing insults on the political space, something which all well-meaning Ghanaians should condemn.
For him to show the kind of disrespect to the Vice President is the height of his irresponsible conduct.
To Asiedu Nketia, politics is about insults but not the exchange of ideas to help the citizens to make informed decisions.
We urge Ghanaians to ignore characters like Asiedu Nketia who beat the war drums when there is no spark in the horizon because his wife and children live in Toronto.
This man even had the audacity to insult the late President Jerry John Rawlings, the man who brought him from obscurity to see the light of civilisation. Asiedu Nketia has simply become a political bully, by simply casting an “Indian spell” on followers of the NDC who celebrate his tomfoolery.
We think the “Indian spell” must be working on the NDC flagbearer. We hope Ghanaians heard John Mahama when he said if he is elected again, he would revive the Black Star Line and Ghana Airways. What does John Mahama take Ghanaians for? After insulting us that we have short memories, John Mahama speaks as if he just descended from the moon.
This NDC flagbearer, once upon the time was Vice President and President, but he did not look in the direction of these defunct state owned enterprises.
As the electorate demand of him some policy interventions to counter the growing popularity of Mahamudu Bawumia, John Mahama is dancing to the slogan of the National Security Ministry to “see something and say something.” That is why John Mahama and his NDC are struggling to tell Ghanaians “something” to prove to the electorate that “yen so yɛ wo krom”, in other words we are on the campaign platform too. The NDC lacks innovation and, therefore, have just “copied” Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s style of electioneering.
If one copies someone’s work, that person cannot do it better than the one who holds the copyright. It was quite pitiful Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang’s tour of markets in Accra. While her opponents in the NPP are on foot exchanging pleasantries with the electorate, she decided to be in an open top V8, indicating that she cannot stand the stress of the campaign.
John Mahama and the NDC can adopt the strategy of scandal-mongering to paint the Akufo-Addo government as a “monster”, but the more Okudzeto Ablakwa and his cohorts engage in the grand propaganda against the NPP, the more the party is growing and attracting the entire citizenry.
What the trends indicate is that John Mahama, Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and Asiedu Nketia will “explain tire”. We gear up for the shocks of December 7, that will send John Mahama on permanent retirement.
