GHANAIANS AND THEIR NATION HAVE SIMPLY HAD ENOUGH!

Massa, let me put it in a nutshell – so that it will be short and sweet. Under the NDC, the very lifeblood of our country was being sucked out of it because we had to make regular payments on our unsustainable external debt. Commodity prices were also nowhere near the record levels they have been under this most profligate and incompetent of regimes.

The present regime is one whose members did not have the nous or the gumption to fight for debt cancellation when some of us were doing so publicly in our writing in the 1990’s – because we understood, correctly, that it would give a nation like ours the maneuvering-space to enable us experience growth.

Having become the beneficiaries of the foresight and hard work of others, have they not taken us right back to square one again – by piling up yet more debt: to the extent that today, Ghana is suffering from “debt distress” to use a euphemism much-favoured by the World Bank and the IMF to describe country’s struggling or unable to meet interest payments on their external debt?

Now that the world is going through a recession, and commodity prices have plummeted, we need to have a regime that is not as profligate and above all led by a someone like Professor Mills - whom we all acknowledge, is one of the most honest politicians Ghana has ever had in its history.

Yes, Nana Akufo Add is a fine gentleman - but unfortunately for him, he came to the fore in his party eight years too late, and only after it had succeeded in bringing Ghana to a dead-end. We cannot let a political party, which although is made up of many decent individuals, is however sadly dominated by a few powerful, ruthless, greedy and crooked tribal-supremacist politicians - who in the short space of eight years, have succeeded in dividing a united nation of diverse ethnicity as never before, in our entire history.

Massa, with respect, Ghana cannot possibly survive a MK 11 version of the last eight years of unparalleled greed, incompetence and the nauseating tribal-supremacist nonsense we have had to endure, all this while.

No one would have minded even if our lame-duck “Hypocrite-in-Chief” had left his Kokofu-football politics to simply appointing his fellow tribesmen and women to fill all the top positions in the public sector as long as they were qualified - because they are all Ghanaian citizens too.

However, he did not stop there - he and the ruthless and unprincipled cabal that surrounds him in the presidency, had to go to the extent of hijacking the entire machinery of state to further the outrageous and treasonable ambitions of some of his tribal Chiefs - and offend the sensibilities of the entire nation, for eight long and painful years.

Massa, Ghanaians, are a people who aspire to living in a society that is a meritocracy - not a serfdom. They are unwilling to become the serfs of any traditional rulers - who in the 21st century ICT age, seek to return a democratic nation that had Nkrumah as its first leader, to the pre-colonial feudal era. What perfidy.

The only people who refuse to accept that it is in the long-term interest of our country that Ghanaians turf the NPP out of power, are those insufferable and tiresome “My-party-my-tribe-right-or-wrong” myrmidon-types – who are too thick to think for themselves and too blind to notice the gang-rape of mother Ghana that has been going on these last eight years. Hopefully, you aren’t one of those, too? Massa, we have had enough!

Hmmm, Ghana – enti yeawiaye paa, enia? Asem ebaba debi ankasa! May God bless and protect our homeland Ghana, always. Long live freedom! Long live Ghana!
