Opanin Koku Anyidaho - I refer to your press release, which appeared in the general news section of http://www.ghanaweb.com/ of Wednesday, 23 July 2008, under the caption: "NDC: Arthur Kennedy’s Fallacious Statement."
May I very humbly point it out to you, that it would help you get your message across a great deal better, if you took more care with your punctuation? Do take a second look at what you have just written (or has been put out in your name, perhaps?), please!
And above all, always remember that it is not the "My-party-my-tribe-right-or-wrong" myrmidons, who will get Professor Mills elected this coming December - since they are likely to vote for your party's candidate for the presidency in December 2008: even if you were to put up the eighth wonder of the world, a newly-born 40 year-old baby, as your party's presidential candidate.
With the prospect of abundant oil and natural gas revenues to help transform Ghana into Africa's equivalent of Scandinavia's prosperous egalitarian societies, the independent-minded voters of Ghana, the "swing voters", are no longer prepared to tolerate those who are wont to continue leading our nation, as one that still worships at the "Cult-of-the-mediocre": because they themselves epitomise the mediocre!
And it is 'inconsequential' minutia, such as atrocious punctuation, which some will take cognisance of, in making up their minds in December 2008!
So, as we say in local parlance here: "Over to you, Joe Lartey!" Hmm, Ghana - aye asem oo!
Finally, please take note, that independent-minded Ghanaians don't give a toss which party comes into power in December 2008 - since in their view there really is no difference between the two biggest political parties in Ghana: the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and your party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
If the newly-elected regime then proceeds in a business as usual " Make-we-too-chop-Ghana-small" fashion, to play fast and lose with Ghana's oil wealth, the ordinary people of Ghana, will move swiftly to bring the 4th Republic to an end. Period.
We shall then set up a new 5th Republic, in which only two political parties will be permitted by law, to operate in our homeland Ghana - so they can be funded by the Ghanaian nation-state.
This will be to obviate the need for our politicians to resort to accepting "kickbacks": as a former party chairperson of the ruling party once said our hypocrite-in-chief, our current leader, has apparently been doing at the seat of government, the Osu Castle!
And the only two parties permitted in Ghana by law in the new 5th Republc, will be from the traditional two political-traditions of our country: the neo-colonialist Danquah-Busia tradition, whose progeny is the NPP, which toadies to Westerners and the interests of their local lackeys; and the Nkrumaist tradition, the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) which believes that the black African is very capable of managing his/her own affairs - and believes in self-reliance as the foundation for Ghanaian prosperity.
Your party, sadly, will have no place in the new 5th Republic - it being a creature of convenience: set up (according to the "bush telegraph!") with purloined state funds, with the sole purpose of ensuring the everlasting legal protection, of those who committed high treason on 31st December 1981.
So, Opanin, your party had better do better this time round, if it wins power again! Do stay blessed, my brother!
May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
