Fellow Asomdwekromanians, let it be shouted from the rooftops and tweeted from every phone that the mischievous hands of those under the eagle-headed umbrella are behind the so-called ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book, a document flaunted like a peacock by Zu-za activists and their cronies, strutting in vain attempts to dazzle the public. Oh, how they are excited, as if they’ve discovered a drug that could cure death!
What sensible group would capture their grand scheme to loot state assets in a book for all to see? Even those afflicted with foolishness wouldn’t broadcast their plans to steal from the state and circulate such a document. It’s akin to an armed robber announcing his robbery plans in the town square. Isn’t that sheer lunacy? It’s like writing a “How to Rob a Bank for Dummies” and leaving copies in the bank lobby. Who does that?
The book is nothing but a chameleon, changing its colors and contents daily. The authors tweak sections, add fictitious details, and embellish their tales. This book deserves no more than a place in the dustbin, among other discarded fabrications. It is like a decaying fish, its stench growing more unbearable with each passing day. Who knew fiction could smell so bad?
When it comes to crafting false narratives, members of Zu-za are veterans with a history as spotted as a leopard’s hide. They dragged Candidate Nana Dee through the mud with wild stories about his health, concocted in the dark corners of their headquarters. Like puppeteers, they pulled the strings of deceit, hoping to dance Candidate Nana Dee out of the political arena. They probably thought they were auditioning for a soap opera!
Remember Steve Mallory and his Africa Watch magazine? Zu-za hired him to publish tales of bizarre and serious medical conditions supposedly plaguing Candidate Nana Dee. These stories, birthed from the Zu-za’s head office of lies, were passed to Africa Watch, all to paint Candidate Nana Dee as unfit for the presidential throne. They spun a web of deceit as intricate as a spider’s, yet just as fragile. It’s a wonder they didn’t throw in a storyline about alien abduction for good measure.
But Asomdwekromanians saw through this charade and gave Candidate Nana Dee Addo the most resounding victory in our electoral history, with more than a million votes difference between him and the Zu-za candidate. It is an open secret that President Ogwanfunu is not in the best of health, but it would be the peak of recklessness to embellish his condition for political points.
Unlike the Zu-za, those riding the Great Elephant have refrained from such callousness. They are like the mighty oak, standing firm against the winds of slander and falsehood. They are too busy working to ‘break the eight’ to have time for fairy tales.
It is obvious that they are cut from a different cloth. They are the beacon of truth in the fog of deception, the lighthouse guiding the ship of our nation through stormy seas. While Zu-za members are busy crafting bedtime stories, Osono members are building a better tomorrow and also inspiring hope in the youth with their “It’s possible” mantra.
Truth be told, the same architects of lies about Candidate Nana Dee’s health are the masterminds of the fictitious ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book. They heralded Candidate Nana Dee’s rise with deceit and now they bid him farewell with another web of falsehoods. But their attempts will fall flat this time, like a bird with broken wings. Their deceit is as transparent as glass; their malice as obvious as the midday sun.
Zu-za, with their history of fabrications, remind one of a spider, tirelessly weaving webs of deceit to ensnare the unsuspecting. Yet, just as the sun rises to dispel the morning mist, the truth will always outshine their lies. Zu-za’s deceitful book is like a mirage in the desert. It is attractive at a distance, but empty upon approach. It is a house of cards, destined to collapse under the weight of reality.
In the grand theatre of Asomdwekromanian politics, the Zu-za has chosen to play the role of the trickster, spinning tales as tall as the Baobab tree. But we, the discerning public, see through their masquerade. Their book of lies, though adorned in the robes of truth, is but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And just as the wolf’s true nature is revealed in time, so too will the hollowness of the ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book. They are like jesters in a royal court, entertaining no one but themselves.
As the Akan proverb goes, “The ruin of a nation begins in the homes of its people.” Let us not allow Zu-za’s falsehoods to infiltrate our homes and hearts. Instead, let us rise above their deceit, standing firm in the knowledge that truth and justice will always prevail. The ‘Agyapadeɛ’ book, much like Zu-za’s previous attempts to deceive, will ultimately crumble under the weight of its own falsehoods. We will stand tall like the mountains, unshaken by the tremors of deceit.
Our resilience is like that of the river, which carves through rock, persistent and unstoppable. Zu-za’s lies are but pebbles in our path, easily swept away by the current of truth. Let us hold fast to our principles, for in the end, it is the truth that will set us free and guide us to a brighter future. And perhaps, one day, Zu-za will realize that the truth, unlike their fiction, never goes out of style.
See you next week for another interesting konkonsa, Deo volente!
