It is amazing just how easily some Ghanaian politicians can delude themselves. If that were not the case, how could the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), possibly think that their party would be returned to power again, by voters, in this December's presidential and parliamentary elections?
Is that not whistling in the dark and wishful thinking? Big, time? Hmm, Ghana - eyeasem o: asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa.
The bald truth, is that both the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) - the two corrupt and opaque political parties that constitute the NDC/NPP duopoly, which have dominated our nation's politics since the 4th Republic came into being - are no longer fit-for-purpose entities.
That is why the truly democratic, non-tribalistic and patriotic one-nation-politicians in leadership positions in the two parties, ought to summon the courage to wrest control of their parties from the iron-grip that the ruthless vested interests - which control both parties from the shadows for private gain at public expense - have on the two parties.
They must then carry out root-and-branch reforms in their parties, and rid themselves of the super-greedy, verbally-aggressive, violence-prone and criticism-averse hardliners, in their midst.
Until they carry out those much-needed reforms, which will make them truly tolerant one-nation political parties dedicated to the well-being of Mother Ghana, and committed to the welfare of all the people of our country, none of the two constituent parties that make up the corruption-riddled NDC/NPP duopoly, deserve to govern Ghana again. Period.
Luckily for ordinary Ghanaians, the era of impunity in our homeland Ghana, could finally draw to a close: for, if elected, Nduom, who is selfless, dynamic and principled will serve as a unifying and disciplined leader whose presidency will be truly world-class.
He will ensure that all those involved in high-level corruption are always prosecuted when caught ripping Mother Ghana off.
A government of national unity made up of Ghana's best brains - regardless of party affiliation - led by Nduom, is the alternative to the NDC, not the NPP as presently constituted.
The question is: Why would Ghanaians return President Mahama and his party to power again - after their party has been in power for eight long years: during which the eardrums of hapless Ghanaians have been assaulted by story after story of egregious high-level corruption?
Who in this country is not livid that dishonest companies like Smarttys Management and Productions Limited have been able to rip-off the enterprise Ghana and gotten away with it - because their promoters happen to be the cronies of some of those in power at the moment?
And who has not felt insulted by the various Kweku-Ananse-stalling-schemes employed by that scoundrel Woyome - the so-called NDC "financier" - who swindled Mother Ghana out of the sum of some GHc51 million: and yet still continues to sleep in his own bed despite ignoring the Supreme Court's ruling that he refunds the money?
Woyome is one of the reasons why so many Ghanaians want the NDC out of power - so they can finally read his long list of compromised big-shots who aided and abetted him to swindle Mother Ghana: and how much they were each suitably rewarded for their hard work on that viper's behalf.
The plain truth is that millions of ordinary people simply want the NDC turfed out of power- so that President Mahama's regime is probed: and all those who have served in that administration found to have stolen taxpayers' money prosecuted and jailed for their crimes against Ghanaians and their nation.
That is why the NDC's leadership need to understand one thing clearly: Even if their regime succeeds in turning Ghana into a paradise-on-earth before the December presidential and parliamentary elections are held, the vast majority of ordinary people will still vote against them, in the December elections.
Many Ghanaians have neither fogotten, nor forgiven, the insufferable, unspeakable and unpardonable arrogance, of the Stan Dogbes - and the actions and inactions of the greedy and corrupt denizens of the corridors of power at the presidency: over the years since the NDC assumed power nearly eight years ago.
Ridding Ghana of the greed-filled NDC is what the December presidential and parliamentary elections are actually about for many voters - in case the Stan Dogbes haven't cottoned on to that yet.
Many Ghanaians want genuises like the Stan Dogbes out of government - and in jail if they are guilty of amassing wealth unlawfully.
Hopefully, on polling day, millions of voters will remember that Paa Kwesi Nduom, intends to probe all the regimes that have held power, since the 4th Republic came into being, should he become Ghana's next leader - and vote massively for him to finally become President of the Republic of Ghana, when he is sworn into office on 7th January, 2017. Hallelujah. Amen.
Now thoroughly fed up with the Mahama regime, the vast majority of ordinary Ghanaians just want his hard-of-hearing regime to leave the scene - because they feel that Mahama & Co have overstayed their welcome: and voters will therefore make sure that their departure is signed and sealed on polling day this December. End of story. Case, closed.
