RAWLINGS IS A GIFT-N D C,MAHAMA.
IT is said that a fly
that does not listen to advice follows the corpse to the grave. But all is not yet
over, until it is over. Before I display this piece to my gallant readers, let
me warmly welcome His EXCELLENCY John Mahama to his new office as he has been
heard calling on God on most platforms for wisdom and strength to complete his
term and if possibly the next one. I think God will answer your prayers so that
you will drive us safely to our destination [development, unity, peace among
others] amen.
I was very happy when H/E Mahama within his early days in
office as president following the sorrowful, painful departure of our beloved
peace maker-late John Mills calling on traditional rulers, religious leaders as
well as civil society organization to correct him if he goes wrong. If H/E
really wants as to trust him, then this is the right time for him to do justice
to the numerous calls from individuals, religious and traditional leaders so
far as the alleged leaked tape of Yaw Gyan is concern. A quick one your Excellency-this
is what many are asking for {sack him, suspend him, arrest him,etc} I am not
prepared to talk about the tape for now, but what am interested in is to appeal
to H/E to do justice when the need arises regardless of who is involved .Hmm I
think suspending him for now and instituting an independent investigation is the
best way to go. This case is of
national interest and should be treated as such. It should go beyond Lartey-the
national security coordinator.
“Had I know” as a saying usually comes surprisingly and sometimes
painful. The best way to dodge this is to listen to advises. Many are those who
are still trying to come to terms as to why the founder of the NDC took on his
party leaders shortly after the 2008 victory. I think these persons need not to
doubt over it as things have started explaining itself. Former president Rawlings
in his usual biblical speeches warned the NDC to be careful of –greedy bastards,
traitors, moles, among others. But for lack of wisdom and wrongful display of pride,
the
leaders rejected him and called him all manner of names. Has the NDC started
crying foul over the leak tape?, did I hear the party accusing the NPP of
paying 200million cedis to the impersonator for that harmful tape? Hahahaa this
is just the beginning .I think more are yet to come and it will come in a
painful note {had I know} and that will be at the last hour-so for you to escape
these, then listen attentively to former president Rawlings.I was not surprise
when Rawlings called on Mahama to restore integrity in the presidency and the
party if he wants to win because Rawlings can see at far. So is Yaw Gyan
playing any role in the castle? Did I hear that he is one of the presidential
advises? hmm “asembeba dabi”
Rawlings- I believe does not need a pesewa from the state at
this time of his life. He is out there doing his usual work- fighting for the
common man like me. So subjecting him to all manner of insults would do him no
harm. For some of these young ministers, the less you talk about them, the better.
I wouldn’t blame them so much because they always insult and go freely unpunished.
Your Excellency, Rawlings is the best man for you to consult and listen to. Think
of it now-it is not late. Were all NDC
members happy for Rawlings presence at the Kumasi congress?your Excellency
what is happening to Kofi Adams suspension?we are watching. I believe Yaw gyan will
also get
his share. To my fellow NDC youth, I have something to share with you. Keep on
reading. ASSALAMU-ALAIKUM.
TRUTH-THE HOLY WEAPON.
