In his New Year Message to Ghanaians captioned : "You are either with me or with Rawlings", a fierce critic of former Military Junta Leader, Jerry John Rawlings and former President John Agyekum Kufuor --- "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Appiah Boateng, popularly known by Ghanaians around the World as ("Kwame Mayor"), a former Ghanaian-American Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate - turned Candidate for Governor of California who ran on the ticket of CPP in 2004 and 2008 at Nhyiaeso Constituency, in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, has publicly said on his Campaign Website : WWW. KwameforPresident.Com that he has "taken over the New Patriotic Party, NPP" in order to wrestle power from Rawlings' faction of the NDC --- describing some members of the NPP as "Chicken and Cowards" for always allowing Rawlings to terrorize them "as if there are no brave men with balls within the NPP, like former President John Agyekum Kufuor, the "Great Judas who collected his Money after the gruelsome executions of the Brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa and Rear Admiral Joy Amedume and others".

Fearing that the White House may classify Jerry John Rawlings' faction of the National Democratic Congress, NDC as a Terrorist Political Organization in Ghana) --- (It should be noted that the NDC faction led by His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills is Democratic than Rawlings' Terrorizing faction) --- after the Capture of Nigerian Terrorist who allegedly purchased his ticket in Accra and U.S. concerns of all forms of Terrorism, including Political and Narcotic Terrorism, the Great Politician, who had earlier, contemplated joining the NDC (to ease Political tension in Ghana and more importantly, to prevent Civil War in the Country), announced that he would pay the Presidential filing fee to run for President of Ghana on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana's 2012 elections --- once again, reminding Ghanaians : "You are either on the Democratic side of Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, or on the Terrorist side of Jerry John Rawlings".

Saying that the NPP needs intelligent and brave people like Obetsibey Lamptey, Major (Retired) Quashigah, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, Dr. Nyahoe Tamakloe, "Lawyer Sir John", Nana Addo Danquah, Alan Kyeremateng, etc, --- (instead of callous, selfish and greedy people like former President Kufuor who acted exactly like Judas and collected his money after the cowardly executions of the brave Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwa Afrifa, Rear Admiral Joy Amedume, Felli, Odartey Wellington to mention but a few --- and instead of other malicious and greedy people like Stephen Asamoah-Boateng "Asaabe" and Kwadwo Mpiani who pose obstacles to NPP) --- the 2004/2008 CPP Parliamentary Candidate for Nhyiaeso Constituency in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, said that he has set up Exploratory Committee to seek the 2012 Flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) --- blasting the current NPP Political Leadership of "Political Cowardice" in the face of NDC's provocative harassments, beatings, and intimidations against Civilians which, in the words of the first indigenous African to (symbolically) run for a higher Public office in the history of America, (a one time Precinct Captain / Non-Paid Volunteer for President Barack Obama's 2008 Campaign) --- NDC's actions, if left un-checked, could be tantamount to "State-Sponsored Terrorism".

The "People's Mayor" accused His Excellency, President John Evans Atta Mills' administration of political vendatta against him, "just because I still continue to condemn Rawlings and Boakye Djans' Human Rights abuses".

"Mills' government obviously does not want me to serve Mother Ghana just as the wicked and malicious former President John Agyekum Kufuor did to me out of Intellectual Cowardice and fear of Genuine Democracy and fear of American style of Freedom of Expression", charged the Ghanaian born U.S. educated, dubbed "America's Mandela" --- the Intellectual Architect of several ideas implemented by former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

"They, NDC Folks don't want me to talk about Human Rights issues and a (few) of the NDC's Security Mafias have allegedly asked some of their insiders not to entertain me and their conspiracy to censor my Political Writings and Democratic as well as Human Rights activism have been exposed internationally", said the Great Politician.

"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, Great Grandson of Asante Adonteng Puduo Royals and War Generals from Bamang, near the famous Kente weaving Town of Bonwire, whose very biological ancestors gallantly led Asante wars against Colonialism and Imperialism perpetuated on African soil by "Our White British Brothers and Sisters", has assured former Military Junta Leader, Jerry John Rawlings and former President John Agyekum Kufuor who was a one time PNDC Member who callously, selfishly and greedily accepted a position from Rawlings - (suspiciously after Okatakyie Akwasi Amankwah Afrifa and Rear Joy Amedume and others had been unfairly and cowardly executed during Boakye Djan-Rawlings' AFRC days) --- that they have nothing to fear because he, ("Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor) has no plans today, tomorrow or in the near future to put Kufuor and Rawlings on trial, "since vengeance is in the hands of God Almighty, and not in the hands of Man", repeating his usual public admonition that "An Eye for an Eye would make all of us blind and a Tooth for a Tooth would make all of us Toothless".

Returning to his intent to contest for the 2012 NPP Presidential race, the American-trained Ph.D. Student in Political Science at the prestigious Claremont Graduate University (CGU) and Alumnus of the equally Prestigious University of Southern California (USC), noted that Politics in Ghana today is shaped not by ideology but Pro-Rawlings on one side and Anti-Rawlings on the other side.

" I bring into the NPP, Pan-Africanist Flavour" which is missing in the Party, to complement the Party's excellent credentials on the noble ideas and ideals of Democracy, Freedom, Liberty and the protection of Human Rights as well as Civil Rights which are very dear to me !!!, said the first Ghanaian born to (symbolically) run for Mayor of Los Angeles who once upon a time, fearlessly and courageously stood up against a [few] Political Terrorists in the United States of America who put him on un-conscionable and un-American "Political Trial of the Century", but they, (the Political Terrorists) were morally and ethically defeated --- (sincere thanks to the Civilized Democratic government of the United States of America and President Bill Clinton's White House which ordered the Justice Department to investigate allegations of politically-motivated torture and persecution against the first indigenous African to (symbolically) make a political statement to run for a higher Political office in the history of America - since America's Independence from Great Britain in 1776.

Asked why a CPP Activist wants to become NPP's Presidential Candidate, the Politician who marketed himself as the "Intellectual Re-Incarnation of Ghana's first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah remarked :

"Ghanaians should never forget that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Dr. J.B. Danquah once worked together within the UGCC".

" I obtained my first NPP Card on or around 1996, " Osagyefo Dr ". Kwame Mayor, who was a young Student Lieutenant for Mr. William Ofori Atta (Paa Willie) during the days of United National Convention (UNC) and who also, was a former Student Member of the People's Movement for Freedom and Justice, revealed to Ghanaians.

" Moreover, Ghanaians should [never] forget that Kufuor's government systematically stole my ideas", said the talented Politician.

" Intellectually, I am the un-disputable architect of several published ideas implemented by former President John Agyekum Kufuor's government, powerful ideas which have tremendously benefited Ghana, (for example : My Platform that called for the "Importation of South Africa's Model of "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" to Ghana --- (which I personally gave to President Kufuor in 2000, in Los Angeles, California in the presence of several Eye-Witnesses) - before he (Mr. Kufuor) became President of Ghana); Erection of Statutes for the Martyred Judges; My registered mail to the office of President John Agyekum Kufuor and published news that called for Voting Rights for Ghanaians living abroad; my public call and published news in for example, Ghana's Daily Graphic that called for Cash Transfer to the Poor to ensure Equity, my public call; registered letter to the office of President John Agyekum Kufuor, as well as published news to revive Dr. Nkrumah's original idea of a Continental African Union Government and to establish a United African States (UAS); my public call and published news to build "State of the Art Presidential Palace in Ghana to attract Tourism like the White House", my public call and published news that urged Ghana to enter into the age of "Civilian Nuclear Power", my public call and published news that called for Annual Yaa Asantewaa Festival to remind Ghanaians of the African struggle against Colonialism and Imperialism, my public call and published news that urged Ghana to recognise her Heroes and Heroines - (which logically prompted Kufuor's administration to institute awards for the "Nation's Heroes and Heroines"), said the "People's Mayor

"NPP may choose to go to the extent of inviting Samia Nkrumah, since her brother is trying to convince CPP members to join NDC", said the Politician who reminded Ghanaians that Ghana's first President, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah once worked with the "Big Six", including Dr. J.B. Danquah.

"Folks, as long as Rawlings remains in Ghanaian Politics, the Nation would be divided into two (2) Camps : Anti-Rawlings and Pro-Rawlings or Pro-Democracy vrs. Anti-Democracy or Pro-Human Rights vs. Anti-Human Rights.

"Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor is a Centrist and die-hard Human Rights Activist and Champion of Democracy as well as Champion of Freedom".

"As a Centrist, Kufuor and Rawlings would have a big role in my future government --- on condition that they behave themselves as Elder Statesmen, and eschew selfishness, greediness, arrogance as well as mischief and "Boom-Boom Speeches", said the "Politician of the People, by the People and for the People"

"When Things Fall Apart in Ghana , a Centrist Politician like "Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Mayor can hold it", the Politician said on his Political Campaign Website : WWW. KwameforPresident.Com

[IN ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT] : ==========================

The Politician says : " I am Not Fighting Rawlings Over Young West African Woman, and "Neither I am Fighting with Ex Minister, Dr. Richard Anane Over White American Mistress".

Claiming on his Campaign Website : (WWW.KwameforPresident.Com), that he has never personally or physically met the Mistress of disgraced former Ghana's Minister of Health and Roads and Transport, Dr. Richard Anane, his political opponent during Ghana's Parliamentary elections, but acknowledging that the White American Mistress or the "Second Wife" of Kufuor's controversial ex-Minister found his ("Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor's) number in the public domain and called to wish him well in his "David and Goliath" 2008 campaign to un-seat (Dr. Anane who failed to wear condome and after impregnating his Mistress, allegedly, tried to run away from Moral Responsibility !!!) --- Populist Politician and Ghanaian born Candidate for Governor of California, "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Appiah Boateng, ("Kwame Mayor"), judged by many Ghanaians and Americans as the epitome of "Ghana's Most Handsome Political Face", publicly set another record straight in his alleged "clash" with former Ghana's Head of State and Military Strongman, Jerry John Rawlings over a West African Beauty Queen both of them know and whose Country is not far away from Ghana ---- The Politician insists that he is a Platonic Friend of the neighbouring West African Beauty Queen in question, and strongly believes that Rawlings also is just a Platonic Friend of the same West African Lady.

Once again, praising his one time nemesis, former President Jerry John Rawlings as a Man who is devoted to his wife, Mrs. Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings --- (perhaps in the same way as "Shakespearen Romeo was devoted to Juliet"), Ghanaian born Candidate for Governor of California and a former Ghanaian-American Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate, "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor, has publicly denied rumours circulating within Ghanaian Communities around the World that his legendary criticisms of former Military Junta Leader, Jerry John Rawlings, stems from the fact that he and Rawlings both know a neighbouring West African Lady, and that he "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor knew the pretty Lady first !!! ---(long before Jerry Rawlings also met the same Lady whose Country is not far from Ghana.)

The Maverick Politician replied "No Comment" when asked whether the Lady he and Rawlings happen to know by coincidence is from Ivory Coast, Liberia, Togo, Sierra Leone, Guinea or Gambia.

" The said West African Lady is just a Platonic Friend since she knows my Girl-Friend. I knew her several years before Rawlings also got to know her on Platonic basis", explained the populist Politician.

"Rawlings is devoted to his wife, Mrs. Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, and it should be emphasized that Rawlings and the said West African Lady are purely Platonic Friends, therefore, there is absolutely no truth to the rumours that Kwame Mayor and Rawlings are fighting over the same beautiful West African Lady ", the Great Politician explained, adding "I fight on Moral and Ethical grounds".

"Once again, it is absolutely false that I have been criticising Rawlings on the Political Front because of the attractive West African Lady both of us happen to know by co-incidence", the "People's Politician" publicly told Ghanaians.

"I have been attacking Rawlings and Kufuor on Moral Grounds and Principles", said "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor.

[IN YET, ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT] :

The Ghanaian Native who served as Precinct Captain in Long Beach, California, for President Barack Obama's 2008 Campaign to the White House, and who is currently running for Governor of California to succeed the "Terminator", Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, says "it is time for President Barack Obama to reciprocate his visit to Ghana and invite Ghana's President, John Evans Atta Mills for a State visit to USA".

" Frankly speaking, "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor deserves a Nobel Peace Prize in his own right", the Politician publicly told the Noble Prize Committee.

"Once again Folks : You are either on the side of "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor or on the side of Jerry Rawlings", the Politician ended this interview.

"Without Brave Men like "Osagyefo Dr" Kwame Mayor and Obetsibey Lamptey, most NPP Folks, who are usually afraid of Jerry John Rawlings will allow the NDC to steal the 2012 election", warned the "People's Mayor" on his popular Campaign Website: WWW.KwameforPresident.Com
