It baffles me when such speech is delivered by the President of Republic of Ghana at the twenty-ninth anniversary of the New Patrioyic Party (NPP). It is a fallacy to say the next NPP presidential candidate will win 2024 general elections. Even a child in this country knows the NPP government has disappointed Ghanaians and does not deserve to come to power again.
Moreover, I never doubted the speech of Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo because, a President who is capable of declaring “All die be die” when he was yearning to be made a leader some years past is now going against all he clearly stated as his reasons for contesting. He had said he held the welfare of Ghanaians at heart but we see the opposite.
A president who never sympathises with the families of killed and maimed citizens during the 2020 general election at Techiman South. He did all he could to attain power but he lacks the nitty grities of leadership.
A president who never shows concern when journalists were threatened and beaten.
A president who can take his bath in the sky with billions of money when his children are starving of hunger and sitting on bare floors and bad structures to learn at school.
This same President was able to chase Mr. Dumelovor from office as the Auditor General. A man who was serving as a Ghanaian before his forced leave only to return as a Togolese.
It was alleged that this same President was able to frustrate Martin Amidu to resign as the Special Prosecutor of Ghana.
For NDC to wrestle power from this drunk with power political party, it must arm itself well to face them boot for boot. But the speech of some of the top gurus of the NPP is very dangerous to the democracy of this nation.
The likes of Ursula Owusu can have that audacity to say Ghana belongs to them, NPP and they have taken their country.
A president who prefers building a National Cathedral to job creation when in an actual sense God never begged him for a home because He is not homeless and is capable.
To conclude, Nana Addo’s speech is a fuel to manipulate the 2024 general election like he and his cohorts did in the 2020 election.Until Jean Adukwe Mensa is removed from office, she will manipulate figures again because when she was dragged to court, Chief Justice Anim Yeboah was there to defend her.
The speech of the president must not be taken for granted, measures must be put in place by the NDC to curtail the ploys of the NPP
