A KOFI ANNAN PRESIDENCY IN GHANA WOULD INDEED BE TRULY PHENOMENAL!

Mr. Kofi Annan, the former U.N. Secretary General, is so right in what he is reported to have said recently in Ireland - an Obama presidency in America would indeed be "phenomenal."

The irony, for many a discerning and patriotic Ghanaian, is that one of the tragedies of our time, is the unfortunate fact that Mr. Kofi Annan has not sought the presidency of our country.

For many such patriots, in seeking the presidency, Mr. Annan would literally be coming to his country's rescue, at its time of greatest need - for, like an Obama presidency in America, a Kofi Annan presidency in Ghana, would also be "phenomenal", indeed.

It is a position he is so eminently qualified for - and what a phenomenal change it would be for our homeland Ghana, if this dignified, honest and competent patriot, became Ghana's president, somehow: against all odds.

He has more gravitas than all the members of our political class combined - a truly world class statesman who commands the respect of all the world's leading politicians. It is such a pity that some wealthy Ghanaian patriot has not seen it fit to bankroll Mr. Kofi Annan to run for the presidency - a position he is the most qualified Ghanaian alive today, to occupy. No question!

It will not come as a surprise to me, for example, if even the many "My-party-my-tribe-right-or-wrong" myrmidons who flock to www,ghanaweb.com (those infernal narrow-minded and partisan individuals, who wear blinkers permanently and will not recognise the truth, if they were to bump into it, at Kajetia or Makola market, in broad daylight!), would not support a bid by Mr. Kofi Annan for the presidency - for, it is just so clear that Mr. Kofi Annan as president of Ghana, would, indeed, be truly "phenomenal."

Hmmm, Ghana - eyeasem oo: asem ebaba debi ankasa! May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
