John Mahama
If Ghanaians have forgotten so soon, we will remind them about some of the painful experiences they endured when John Mahama was President from July 2012 to January 7, 2017.
We urge Ghanaians to remember what John Mahama said during the heat of dumsor that the charging of cell phones was consuming so much energy and partly to blame for the load shedding. We warn those excited about the return of John Mahama that mobile phones that are more now than 2016 will consume more power, and it is clear that again he will be at sea in resolving any power crisis.
We are not very happy about the way the NPP government has been handling some aspects of the conduct of public policy such as the handling of debts owed bondholders and food suppliers, but we expect the NDC, if their members are patriotic, to provide us with workable alternatives instead of turning these problems into campaign tools.
The NDC and its leadership in Parliament spare no efforts to mobilise to commiserate with some members of the National Food Suppliers Association who had picketed at the offices of the National Buffer Stock Company.
We wonder what will compel reasonable human beings to sleep in the open for three days or more in a chilly weather because the government owes them about GH¢270 million. Will their children in secondary school expose themselves to this health risk because they feel aggrieved?
The behaviour of these food suppliers can only be informed by politics and indeed the NDC type of politics. No wonder Kwaku Amedume, spokesman of the National Food Suppliers Association is alleged to be a card bearing member of the NDC, and in all his posturing that the government owes them so much to gain public sympathy, the underlying reason is to use the situation to cause disaffection for government.
This man who calls himself spokesperson of the food suppliers knows that whatever government owes you is as good as money except that it takes time for it to be honoured.
Those who massed up at the National Buffer Stock Company are not true business people but NDC members doing the bidding of the opposition party.
We can assure the NPP that more of such things will be happening in the coming days as the NDC is desperate for power. The NDC is a strange group of human specimen ready to sacrifice their good name for political power at all cost.
Let the NDC be assured that their propaganda and misinformation strategies will fade away like the corn husk fire which Ewes call “agobo dzo”.
