Comrade, just read your article entitled, “The NPP Does Not Even Have A Prima Facie Case!”. Brilliant. Well done!
Take a look at Professor George B.N. Ayittey’s Ghanaweb article entitled: “President Obama’s Shadow on Ghana’s Elections”.
Note the subtle attempt at influencing the judiciary – by raking up the unfortunate past? Expect others to take the cue soonest.
This Supreme Court case is not really about “deepening Ghanaian democracy”. That phrase is deliberately deployed to give respectability to a selfish agenda, by clever individuals pursuing a political scorched-earth strategy.
It guarantees them the following of the decent-minded middle-class innocents-abroad in our midst, who actually care about Ghanaian democracy. Pity.
As an acquaintance of mine insists: “Kofi, there is definitely a plan afoot to destabalise Ghana, by some of the people around Nana Akufo-Addo”.
Their dream of lording it over Ghanaians by riding on the coattails of Nana Addo having been shattered, those incompetents are now deploying a refined version of the December 2008 Atta Akyea/Malik Yakubu Alhassan plan, to exploit the legal system to achieve their dubious ends.
To quote my acquaintance again: “One only hopes that the National Democratic Congress sees through this devious plot against Ghana, by these tiresome and arrogant incompetents”. Amen.
Nana Addo himself isn’t bad, Opanin. Its the arrogant and selfish lot around him who are the problem. And some of them are his blood-relations, alas.
Wish he would reverse out of this political cul de sac – and take the High Road to Mandela-type statesmanship, by conceding defeat. It would definitely earn him a place in the Pantheon of great Ghanaians.
One hopes, for Mother Ghana’s sake, that in the end these “false” (to quote the principled Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Afari-Djan) claims are thrown out by the Supreme Court.
If only the wise and patriotic J. B. Da Rocha were alive to call them to order – and put an end to their nation-wrecking brinkmanship. Poor gentleman’s probably turning in his grave. Hmm, Ghana – eyeasem o!
Best Wishes,
Kofi.
