Will voters turf out the ruling NPP from power in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections?

Dear critical-reader, one wonders whether or not, voters will turf out the ruling NPP from power, in the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.

As it happens, ordinary Ghanaians are a mostly patient lot, who, for the sake of ensuring that their Motherland continues to remain a peaceful nation, in which citizens can co-exist happily, side by side, have remained long-suffering for the duration of 8-year cycles, while waiting for the opportunity to boot out successive governments-of-the-day, from power, in national elections to select new parliamentarians, and a new president, for their Republic, since the 4th Republic came into being in 1992.

It also has to be pointed out, that of all the many sins of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) regime of President Akufo-Addo, the most egregious, has to be the disgraceful revisionist attempt, by today's progeny of Dr. J. B. Danquah, who currently  dominate our system, to rewrite our pre-independence history.

Yes, Dr. J. B.Danquah was a highly intelligent gentleman, who was a scholar of some note. No question. That cannot be taken away from him, and no sane educated Ghanaian, for party political point-scoring reasons, should engage in what would amount to intellectual dishonesty, by not accepting that bald historical fact.

However, in terms of his contribution (or lack thereof), to the fight for freedom from foreign rule during the British colonial era,  far from being a fighter for independence, in the struggle to rid ourselves of the British occupiers of our Motherland, Dr. J. B. Danquah, was in fact, a fifth columnist, who was a known paid human-asset of sundry Western intelligence agencies, which, like him, actively sought the physical elimination of Kwame Nkrumah, by any means deemed necessary, for that dark end, at that material time.

To call such a turncoat, and traitor, of the very worst kind, a hero of our struggle for independence, is an insult to the memory of all the farsighted and wise voters, who, in elections in 1951, 1954 and 1956, rejected Danquah and Co's vision of a post independence African nation-state, which would be a federation, dominated by elitist individuals.

That would-be intolerable-abomination, was meant to be a federal state made up of pre-colonial tribal entities, which would exist for the state-capture rent-seeking benefit, of the progeny of that era's ruling elites, at that material time, and collaborative non-royal educated elitist individuals, who happened to be wealthy property owners. Hmmm, 3y3nsem piiii, oooo, Ghanafuor.

It also has to be pointed out, dear critical-reader, that neither did Dr. J. B. Danquah win any election that he contested in, as a candidate, after Ghana gained its independence, in 1957. Ordinary people in our Motherland Ghana, aren't stupid, koraaa, oooo. Yoooooooo...

That is why they will turf out today's greed filled progeny, of the selfsame traitor, and turncoat, Dr. J. B. Danquah, who now dominate our byzantine system, riddled with unprecedented high-level corruption, and have grown super-rich from bankrupting Mother Ghana, to enable them send their personal net worth, to stratospheric heights, at society's expense. The sods.

Furthermore, it is obvious, and plain as daylight, dear critical-reader, that having experienced life under Dr. J. B. Danguah's present-day progeny, most Ghanaians now understand perfectly, why the selfless Nkrumah, not the self-seeking Dr. J. B. Danquah, is in the Pantheon of the 20th Century's greatest leaders, and will draw needed lessons from that, accordingly.

For that, and many other reasons, too numerous to list in this shortish piece, dear critical-reader, as sure as day follows night, the vast majority of voters will elect to cast votes to end the NPP'S disastrous big-thieves-in-high-places-governance, in polling station, after polling station, in the December 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections!
