The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

The tension is normal in a litigation case so i don't see why people should worry about that.
Once the court works to perfection, this tension will never go to extreme.

It's sad how the very people elected to govern the nation, are the ones breaking the laws & causing divisions in the country.

In Africa,when they do their arbitration for the settlement of an impasse,it is always decided on who started it all and why it got started.
The tension mentioned here is simply an act of greed and the principle of "...President at all cost" if even people must lose their lives for his sake.

It is not the two parties that are our problem.The NPP and its attitudes to other political competitors is Ghana's problem.

When it was Nkrumah, it was the CPP.
PNC did not stay in power for long and was seenasa transsient opponent.
PNDC was a millitary administration.

NDC became its next target of lies etc.

Why does the NPP think that if they are not ruling the country, then Ghana will not survive?

It is time for Ghanaians to call a spade a spade and stop blaming or placing blames on other parties other than the NPP.

It is an eye-opener for people like me who are floating voters to remember the NPP's behaviour and yet wanting us to accept them as democratic when they are not.

GOD BLESS OUR DEAR COUNTRY.

See how incoherent you sound. Any way, entertain yourself by fooling yourself. To be honest, are you ever a floating voter? Whether you vote the NPP or not, it can see win elections without your vote. Look who is talking. Reliving an issue that is long forgotten and has no relevance to today's politics. Go ahead in trying to make the NPP unpopular, you will still frustratedly find yourself being nothing before the decimal point. Go way you.

Mrs Bob Millar you have failed to nib the real cause of the problems in Ghana in the Bud.
Let us call a Spade a Spade.
If you disturb a sleeping dog long enough it may wake up and bite you in the foot.
Ghana has a Bad Democracy and the world watches her silently.
Democracy must not be allowed to stand in name only in Ghana but in practice.
The year twenty twelve was a strange year indeed in otherwise a peaceful Ghana. Our President shortly before his demised,he has been touted as strong, suddenly dies to be replaced rightfully by his VP. In fact earlier that morning I read on Ghana Web that Atta Mills was traveling to Nigeria that day, if that was true reporting, then how did his death come so soon?
Was he sick or was he poisoned? God Knows the answer to this question.
Now comes an election and Mahama is against Akufo-Addo, but Mahama will do whatever it takes to rule Ghana, including may be paying off Afari-Gyan the EC strong man, but if this is the case then I have lost faith in Ghana's Democracy.
Democracy is government elected by the people and for the people.
If Ghana is today on a rocky paths, then Mrs Bob-Millar this is the real reason.
Now our Supreme Court has the last dance to the stanza, and they must dance the walls very carefully well.
Now over to you Kofi Ghana.

Where are all these "thin tanks" short on foresight, ideas and ideals getting their sources of funding to be popping up left and right in Ghana?
Like everything Ghana, these political party affiliated groups do come out with some of the most grotesque shenanigans during or right after elections. NPP and NDC did not set the path for social and economic discourse in Ghana based on tribal and or political party membership; it started when as a nation we chose not to use our collective human power but relied on a few with guns and ideas fed from outside Ghana to engage in the 1966 coup. Since then Ghanaians with access to guns and or politicians who control Ghana's Armed forces and the security entities have had their way with everything Ghana. The NDC and NPP pull the strings of Ghana's puppets claiming to be foot soldiers while others have hitched their tents with the NPP and NDC because of possible table crumbs they hope to catch at the tables of the NPP and NDC parties. There are other political parties in Ghana but because it surely takes brains, intellectual honesty, ideas and ideals and time/patience, Ghanaians choose not to wait but to get what they want here and now. Do we as Ghanaians living here in Ghana not see nepotism, bribery and corruption each day? We choose to ignore them because these party thieves are just reflections/mirror images of our hopes and desires. The Christian Bible forewarns us about money being the root of a whole lot of mess and yet we never paid heed to this simple warning.
Ghana's political parties are not willing to kill to gain power because of their love for or of country but because of their close proximity to the national coffers and all the money our so-called donor countries offer.
Let’s stop blaming the inner Ghanaian in all of us on only some who have finally made it to the top of the political stage and are about to steal and or have retired from the arena of unbridled stealing. Is there any shame in Ghana? Why would the Chief Justice of our Supreme Court Ms. Georgina Woods keep collecting her salary and or sitting in judgment of anything Ghana when she was compromised by Kufour’s land for cronies gift giving? Does she not still command respect in the high echelons of Ghana's social order. We have no shame and like typical blacks we allow the portions of our brains for reasoning and intellectual examinations to rot while we rely on tribal and political party affiliations to carry us through life. Ask anyone with brains and they are bound to tell us free and effective institutions of state that operate without political interference is the route to development any where civilization abound. In Ghana we certainly chose bottom feeders as our heroes; Kufour J.J. Rawlings, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, Kennedy Agyapong and others who deserve not the stage they mount or the audience they control.

The world and, indeed, the business community are watching Ghana. Before the 2012 election the world's business community had regarded Ghana as a tranquil country; this is no more. The tension is real in the country. It is proving that, after all, African nations are all susceptible to self-inflicted harm. The main cause being the insatiable lust for power and money - in Africa power and money are mutually related, heavily - by the protagonists. The protagonists see politics as the fertile ground to amass wealth; because of that it is creating unnecessary rivalry among the Parties. The problem is, it is the ordinary people who put the Parties in the place of authority who suffer. Sometimes they may ask themselves; is it worth it? It is not disrespectful to say; If our politicians have senses they should stop squabbling and wait for their turn to rule. Our economy and people's lives are at stake and need saving.

Afari-Gyan has grossly betrayed the trust that the people of Ghana gave him. One day he should be charged in court for almost bringing peaceful Ghana to a brink of civil war.
