Ho, May 16, GNA – “Dr Kwabena Adjei, National Chairman of the ruling NDC, has noted
that the Foot Soldiers concept is the baby of the NPP and not known to the party. He
stressed that the first party to use the phrase was NPP and not NDC, and "any group
or persons wearing that tag is more of NPP than NDC" (Ghanaweb May 16, 2010).

NDC foot-soldiers be policymakers
Foot-soldiers go say run Mills run
Mills dey run naked from the Castle
Foot-soldiers say Mills eat phlegm
Mills happily go eat political phlegm

When JJ Rawlings is very quiet
The Indemnity Clause is working
The FIRE-ing of Ghana is at hand
The fire that burnt the JUDGES
The fire that burnt his Ridge Palace
Yet his cars & boxes walked away
JJ is FIRE-ing NDC foot-soldiers
JJ the ever whining hypocrite
The richest bully with a voice
Has not questioned foot-soldiery
Has not condemned the goons
NDC foot-soldiers running amok
JJ is happily fueling foot-soldiery
JJ the fireman is behind it all
The eternal Obonsam fireman
Rawlings is FIRE-ing anarchy
FIRE-ing anarchy against Mills

And elitist thieves fuel JJ’s fire
The thievery elites of our time
Dokita Kwabena Adjei
Doctoring political lies
Hospitalizing blame-game
Elitist thievery politicians
The bane of Mother Ghana
Killers of all our dreams

Our Dokita is doctoring lies
Dokita must call into question
Question NDC’s foot- soldiery
Thugs in the pay of Rawlings

Dokita calls NDC thugs angels
The violent NDC foot-soldiers
We call them NDC miscreants
We call them NDC assailants

Dokita calls them NPP’s children
We call them NDC’s bastards
JJ the bulging dog birthed all
JJ is behind it all fueling fires
Fires that are burning Mills

Dokita calls them NDC cadres
We call them NDC thugs
Hopeless foot-soldiers
Wedded to AFRC thugs
Wedded to PNDC’s WDC/PDC
The sons of who born dogs
JJ is behind it all fueling fires
Fires that are burning Mills

Dokita calls them NDC activists
We call them NDC anarchists
Wedded to AFRC thugs
Wedded to PNDC WDC/PDC
The sons of who born dogs
Bulging dog JJ is stoking it all

Eh! Massa Ghana hard oh
Yes, Ghana hard proper
Hmm! The thievery elites
Yes, the educated thieves
Na dem dey cause am oh
My brother dem be thieves
Educated thieves proper
They love power and wealth
Now you hear Dokita Adjei
I don hear am well well
The man be wise fool oh
Well he play blame game
Now NDC foot-soldiery be NPP
But that na lie oh proper lie
Foot-soldiers be NDC thugs

NPP activists no be NDC ones
NPP activists no dey like toilet
NDC foot-soldiers dey eat toilet

NPP activists no dey seize toll-booths
NDC foot-soldiers seize toll-booths

NPP activists no dey seize rice farms
NDC foot-soldiers dey seize rice farms

NPP activists no dey steal cars
NDC foot-soldiers dey steal cars

NPP activists no dey attack DCEs/MCEs
NDC foot-soldiers dey kill DCEs/MCEs

Mills’ tree is already dead
Planted in sordid phlegm
Drowned by political phlegm
Mills the walking-living dead
Chained to greedy bastards
Monitored by JJ’s foot-soldiers
