Countrymen and women, loyalists and against people,
I know that quite are number of you were very impressed by Fiifi Asomdwehene?s performance at his so-called People?s Forum. I am surprised that you were so easily taken in by Fiifi shameful imitation of a concept I introduced. Now I know and I think you will do well to also realize that Fiifi is an imitator extraordinaire. For all the four years he served as Jerry Boom?s deputy dictator, he never bothered to even suggest to his master to meet with the people and answer their questions. I believe they knew that they could not answer any probing questions about why, for example, they thought that a Cotton could possibly produce rice at Aveyime. How could they also have answered or defended the identification haircuts they gave ?visitors? to the Castle. I know the idea of fielding questions from the citizens of Sikaman at a public forum never crossed Fiifi and Jerry Boom?s mind. They were so busy misruling us to think about it. But when they saw me answering questions at the People?s Assembly they got an idea: ?if we didn?t do it then, nothing stops us from copying it.?
