Analysis shows that the political elite of the new government uses the time between the first transition SONA and a change of government from one of the two political parties to make sure that it is their turn to squander public money, before the electorate switches governments. While the political elite are busy at the trough eating their turn from the public purse, political party cards and political affiliation matter more than citizenship of Ghana.

Mr. President, be even handed and crack the whip to recover all loot from the OSP and earn the nation’s respect this time round in your tenure. Vindicate the electorate’s trust in you and anchor the NDC on solid grounds for 7 December 2028. Mr. President, I will stand by you all the way in any genuine endeavour by you to fight corruption in Ghana. We can only achieve this by, Putting Ghana First!

President Mahama, deal with the payroll “economic crime scene” at the OSP which made a favourable decision for your benefit first and establish your credibility to deal with the irregularities at the NEIP, and the annulment of all appointments made by former President Akufo-Addo after 7 December 2024.

The empty rhetoric of inheriting politico-economic crime scenes has been part of the rhetoric of every new government under the 1992 Constitution since 7 January 2001 to date, and that is precisely the reason for the electorate wagering their luck with President John Dramani Mahama again on 7 December 2024 upon his can-do promises. Please, brother, walk your pre-election can-do talk!

The profane declaration of Ken Ofori-Atta as a fugitive from Ghanaian justice by the OSP during the tenure of the John Dramani Mahama government discloses the true nature and character of the Special Prosecutor as a double agent serving the politico-economic interests of the deep state elite in both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to scam the citizens of this country in the name of the fight against corruption.

President John Dramani Mahama if you are not part of the exhibition of the coup mentality by your appointees and other underlings of your government, then you need to crack the whip to call them to order, and to redeem your image by setting up an independent enquiry to establish the true facts no matter where the truth may lead. We the People want a Ghana that is reset forward and not backwards as all the indications are pointing to. Mr. President the time to act is, now!

The President needs to walk his talk by ensuring that all those involved in this despicable invasion and other invasions of citizens’ rights and freedoms are brought to trial before the ordinary courts in accordance with the due process of law. Ghana must reset forwards and not backwards to yesteryears! That is what the electorate voted for and not media psyops to deflect the enormity of such unlawful acts by government assets and agents.

The inerasable truth is that Dr. Bawumia is not the first incumbent Vice President and presidential candidate to concede defeat to his opponent under the 1992 Constitution to reduce electoral tensions in an atmosphere charged with suspicion of the ruling government intending to rig presidential elections.

With a vote of no confidence in both the President Nana Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and the Speaker Bagbin-led Parliament on 7 December 2024, We-the-People who have proven our capability to take our destiny into our own hands must remain ever vigilant against further abuses during the balance of the tenure of the President and the 8th Parliament.

President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, I congratulate you with all my mind, heart, and soul for your perseverance and for this victory that will allow you to make a positive and beneficial impact on the lives of the ordinary citizen on the streets as President of the Republic of Ghana. There is great enthusiasm and hope in the air for the people of Ghana, the ECOWAS sub-region and Africa in general for the peaceful election and change of government at the ballot box as portending an African renaissance of good governance under your leadership.

Election 2024 is done and Mother Ghana has won. I am confident that the moment came yesterday for our nation Ghana to decide in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side. We had some cause, and some great decision to make yesterday which we have made. The election yesterday does not conclude the struggle in the strife of truth with falsehood that offers our nation the bloom or blight. The struggle with and for the people, however, continues unabated until our destiny of victory is achieved.

Fellow Ghanaian Citizens, I normally do not speak in public - as you know, I prefer to write. But today, 7 December 2024, is an important day in our country. Election 2024 marks a critical point in our constitutional history. This is your opportunity to hold Akufo-Addo’s government to account by refusing them another term of office.

I cannot as a person born in the then NT recommend Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a person with the trait of honesty, integrity and selfless service exhibited by our forebearers from the NT to the Republic of Ghana to be elected on 7 December 2024 as President symbolizing a representation of northerners on an NPP ticket for Ghana. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is not only an opportunist and pretender, he has lost track of the high moral character associated with his own biological family and the forebearers of Northern Ghana.

The corrupt and looting government machinery of Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia are so power drunk that they only see the ordinary Ghanaian as a zombified idiot whose vote can be bought after dangling a few television pictures, news broadcast, and other media propaganda of completed and uncompleted projects to becloud his memory. Let us defend the Constitution by demanding probity and accountability, now on 7 December 2024! Let us defend the Constitution by demanding probity and accountability, now on 7 December 2024!

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts! The Ghana Police Service would not have been selective and overlooked extending an invitation for such an engagement to the Media Coalition as the professional umbrella bodies of the media industry in Ghana representing the interests and concerns of media practitioners and media houses in Ghana if the invitation and proposals were actuated by the national interest and not a politically partisan election agenda under the smokescreen of impartial policing.

The deep polarization and intense emotions generated by the governance of the country under the Akufo-Addo/ Mahamudu Bawumia administration shows that the future stability of the 1992 Constitution is dependent on how free, fair, and transparent the 7 December 2024 elections are seen to have been managed and conducted by all the public institutions entrusted with supervising the elections. The time to defend the 1992 Constitution against election interference is NOW!

Convening parliament for two days only may be convenient for the finances of the Members of Parliament, otherwise I see no rational reason for wasting the public purse just a few days to the 2024 elections. Apart from providing a provisional budget for the incoming government on 7 January 2025, there is no emergency necessitating the Speaker wasting public funds to abridge the fourteen days to recall Parliament before 7 December 2024 for a two-day session.

We the People delegated our sovereign power to the incumbent government at the polls on 7 December 2020. It is, therefore, imperative that the President and his Vice-President, the anointed successor, prove themselves as having provided the most competent leadership during their tenure by transparently accounting to We the People for how they managed our security in the past eight years and still brought the country to the Bawku crisis with nine other violent conflict points in several other regions before the vote on 7 December 2024.

Bawumia needs to move away from the Kamala Harris rhetorical style of campaigning and speak directly to the public on his security and intelligence capabilities and policies that will bring the numerous violent conflicts throughout the country where curfews have been imposed under control and stop the unwarranted and needless killing which the failure of the Government has unleashed on the country within its tenure.

Common observation throughout socialization in life and common sense teaches that intractable and intense emotional conflicts even when they appear to have been resolved leave residues which inform the next cycle of conflict between the same adversaries or their proxies. Whatever the short-term objective that the Speaker and his supporters have achieved, it will take an exceedingly long time for the centre to hold again now and in future Parliaments unless greed gives way to the love of our homeland Ghana.
