Ghana Also Yearn For Change! by movers(m): 9:06pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
My Ghanaian friend sent this piece to me and I was amazed at the similarities of the two scenarios 1. Buhari is 72 years; Nana Addo will also be 72 years when Ghana goes to election next year. 2. Jonathan is 58 & John Mahama will be 58 years next year. 3. Jonathan took over after death of his boss under bizarre circumstances, same as John Mahama. 4. Jonathan was going for his 2nd term same as John. 5. The PDP has the umbrella as it’s symbol, the NDC has same. 6. The NDC has red, white, black & green, the PDP has similar colours. 7. Nana Addo is going for President after several attempts, Buhari is doing the same. 8. Jonathan & John won against Buhari & Nana Addo under bizarre circumstances. 9. Both Jonathan & John's government have been cited for massive corruption, mismanagement of economy & bad governance. 10. Jonathan & John are very close friends. 11. They both have well-endowed wives with limited education 12. A wind of change is blowing, Ghana don’t disappoint! 1 Like |

I guess your friend failed to tell you that this was a change of guards from a group of people who had ruled Nigeria since 1999? movers: NPP, CELEBRATE YOUR WELL DESERVED VICTORY...WE SHALL JOIN YOU IN 2016 I have heard of massive jubilation by NPP members in Kumasi over the opposition victory in Nigeria. The opposition in Nigeria defeated the incumbent PDP which ironically, has the same ideological base as the NPP. We are not oblivious of the support the PDP gave to NPP in Ghana towards snatching the presidency from the NDC in 2000. That was why Obasanjo was quick to support Ghana with Peugeot cars for the police to boast the standing of NPP government in the eyes of Ghanaians. Obasanjo supported Ghana at the time when his own police force was ill equipped. We are aware of PDP's association with the NPP and the NDC's affinity to the ACP. The shoes were on different foot this time around, with the NDC's friends coming from opposition and winning the elections in Nigeria and the NPP's friends carrying the umbrella and being defeated at the polls. Who doesn't want to be associated with good news, in case it has what it takes to infect? Therefore, the NPP is happy because the umbrella (like the NDC) has suffered defeat in the hands of an older person (like Nana Addo) I think certain comparisons are petty and so l dont intend to discuss them here. I have read of the 'solomonic' theory, suggesting that Africans are electing older men to rule them and so Nana Addo was also going to be elected. Well, they forgot to add that Africans are also going for the giants from the North and so JDM is winning the elections. Hope you see why l hate that analogy because Nana's height and his geographical origin will cancel the 'opposition and solomonic' theories. I encourage the NPP to celebrate. Let the NDC be the disadvantaged now. I encourage the NPP to bank their hope on the simple reason that what happened in Nigeria becomes their abracadabra! Let them invoke the name of Buhari and ACP to win the elections. In fact they can even go to the extent of changing their symbol to a broom like they did desperately under the Great Alliance to see if victory will smile at them. For us as NDC people, it is a wake up call! When Ebola struck the West African subregion, we prepared to prevent it and to combat it if it should show its ugly heard! Once we are aware of a given disease, we develop the needed vaccine to immunize ourselves against it. The disease could develop different strains but once we are conscious of its devastating effect, we won't sleep till we contain it. We are aware of the striking similarities between the symbols of the NDC and the defeated PDP. We are aware of the circumstances that led both GEJ and JDM to power. We are also aware that the factors that prevailed in Nigeria culminating in the defeat of Jonathan are not the same as ours but we would assume that ours is even worse and that the odds are against us. We want to believe that defeat is awaiting us and as a party in government, we are lucky unlike Goodluck, to make amends. We have the disease and we have the medicine. We shan't ignore to dress the wound appropriately and that's what will draw tears from Nana Addo's eyes as he limps to retirement. For your information, the NDC will leave no stone unturned; we shall bend double to break our backs in fulfilling our pledge to the people. We will cross rivers, we will go through the valleys and climb the mountains. We will tumble several times to where each and every single soul lives to spread our message and to show concern. We will search every alley and every street to give hope to the hopeless. We shall sleep in rocks and in tress to identify ourselves with the downtrodden, they are our allies. With humility, we shall listen and never do what 'killed' the unlucky Goodluck. Goodluck would have been happier if he had a lifeline like that of the NDC. We will go through hell to bring victory to NDC and all Ghanaians. We will stretch our hands in building bridges till they become weary and numbed. We are inspired by the insults from our opponents, we are inspired by the threats on our lives and the lives of our beloved ones if we should lose power to them. So what do we do? Die to be victors than have our lives mesmerized by some heartless people. Go on, NPP, celebrate 'your' victory today as we work for ours in 2016 Cc: KingGenius |
