It is cynical for Akufo Addo’s cronies like this impudent Yaw Osafo Maafo to continue his stupidity and his regional xenophobic sentiment by thinking that they have absolute hegemonic powers over those they deem as their political enemies. Instead of Akufo Addo cronies raising the dust of their tribal xenophobia and building a strong peaceful unity for the 2012 general elections to bring the party back to power, Yaw Osafo Maafo is using his stupid outbursts to incite idiotic comments against those they classify as their political archrivals. I have a message for him and his cronies: Alan and his followers are not deaf. We will speak up sooner rather than later; if they think they are above reproach and if they also think that respect is a gift which one should get by using intimidation and foolish utterances, then they are fooling themselves and fooling themselves badly.
During the NPP parliamentary primaries this Akufo Addo’s political sycophant and advisor Yaw Osafo Maafo, who believes Ghanaian politics is not about patriotism but about business, has started making his Akyem tribalistic comments against Alan’s supporters secretly. We are not deaf, at the appropriate time I will respond to his lunatic and feeble-minded comments. Osafo Maafo and his boss Akufo Addo will feel the detestation forever throughout their entire political careers. I will surely promise them that one dare not fuck around with us; if they cannot take the heat that will come after them they had better stay out of the kitchen because we are doing the cooking.
If this Akufo Addo and his cronies think they can continue to conduct the political campaign as they did in 2008 by aiming at reviving regionalism thereby bringing back their Akyem mafia politics and by continuing to be a disenchantment, it will be disastrous to them for the 2012 general election. Osafo Maafo and his Akyem cronies have the tendency to design a strategy that would appeal to the sentiments of their people thereby inciting ethnic disaffection in order to achieve their selfish political interests. While pretending to be fighting to unify the party and the dilemma they themselves caused in 1979, they are actually doing just the opposite, creating ethnic division to mislead the public. Alan is not one of these notorious hypocritical politicians who possess demonic spirit win power; he is not a politician who will use whatever is handy and the things that are handy in the eyes of many politicians are voodoo rituals to win the power for either the presidential nomination or to become president.
So again for Osafo Maafo’s current and future information, Alan’s supporters will never allow Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen to even think again and again of sacrificing so much as an ant for political rituals to win the NPP presidential nomination or the presidency of Ghana. Alan is not a hypocrite. As the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 12;13, “Let as hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Alan fears God and Alan will continue to obey God’s rules and love Him. Alan is unlike other hypocritical Ghanaian politicians who perform political rituals and make sacrifices for power and later give thanks secretly to their voodoo gods and solicitors. These false political prophets will then again later go to the church and also give thanks openly to God by saying, Thank you Lord! Thank the Lord!!. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! for helping me to secure my party’s nomination or to become the president. Those hypocrites – do they really think that God doesn’t know them better? God sees all and will render His judgment on them soon.
