Why President Akufo-Addo Must Rein In The Bernard Antwi-Bosiakos And Kennedy Adjapongs

If we are to prosper as a people, our homeland Ghana must have a tough-minded leader, who has the strength  of character needed to discipline those he appoints to help him govern the nation.

It  is for that reason that many independent-minded  Ghanaians, who care about preserving our country's natural heritage, back President Akufo-Addo 100%. The paradox, is that some of those selfsame Ghanaians - including me -  also loathe the president's party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), passionately, for patriotic reasons.

That loathing for the NPP, results directly from the fact that the party and its antecedents have a history of embracing vile tribal-supremacists, whom not  many decent people would ordinarily  associate with -  because of their addiction to the use of violence, both verbal and physical,  as political  weaponry.

For such patriotic Ghanaians, it is heart-wrenching that a political party with so many decent people in its membership, also has uncouth and ever-boastful characters, such as the Bernard Antwi-Bosiakos and Kennedy Adjapongs,  wielding  great influence over it - yet it is a party that never tires of telling the world that it is anchored  on the twin-bedrocks of the  rule of law and individual liberty.

If President Akufo-Addo does not rein them in, and discipline them,  then, as sure as day follows night, in the final analysis, it will be the egregious actions, and unpardonable  inactions, of the Bernard Antwi-Bosiakos and Kennedy Adjapongs, which  will prevent him from having a legacy as a great president. Definitely. Hmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem o: asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa.
