In the past seven and half years, Ghanaians have experienced “a bitter lesson
of leadership” from the New Patriotic Party and President Akufo-Addo as
foretold by Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe. Every sector of our lives have been
attacked, from our freedom of speech, human rights, traditional settings,
judiciary and the economy.

All the “strong men” who hitherto spoken truth to power in this country have
been cowed into submission. President Akufo-Addo has shown that he is power-drunk and allergic to criticism and discerning views. The economy has been run down, inflation is exceedingly high, unemployment, interest rates, exchange rates, and the debt-to-GDP ratio are all at records high, our environments have been degraded, forests have been destroyed for personal gains, and state lands are mercilessly captured as if there is no tomorrow.

Nepotism, cronyism, and ethnocentrism have been normalised and forced down our throats by the current government. Intolerance has become the hallmark of our president.

There is no future for Ghana and its youth; the only available future is the one
saddled with unimaginable debt, hopelessness, uncertainty, apprehension, and
trepidation. Some traditional leaders are been treated with disdain due to their
geographical locations and spoken languages, while others are elevated and
celebrated on the basis of their geographical locations and the languages they
speak to serve the president’s parochial interest.

As if these were not enough, the president and his inner circle have made
efforts upon efforts to bequeath our natural resources to their unborn
generations with the Agyapa as a conduit. They have also tried to allocate key
state institutions to themselves to enable them to continue controlling and
milking the state even in opposition, the PDS and SML scandals are on my mind.
This sense of entitlement by the president and his cohorts is appalling,
disgusting and nauseating.

We may have had some corrupt officials in the past, but never have we had a
a president who collateralized the country’s future revenues for loans to be spent. In the present, never have we had a president who tries so hard to
bequeath the country’s natural resources to his generations yet unborn, never
have we had a president who tries hard to allocate vital state institutions to
himself and his cronies in order to be able to control and plunder the country’s
finance long after they are out of power.

It saddens my heart that some Ghanaian youths whose own futures are being
destroyed by this greedy and avaricious NPP government are the same people
defending them. Let us not, out of some hatred for a particular party, destroy
our own future and that of our children.

As a Ghanaian, I feel terribly sorry for the future of this country. Ghana would
not have a future if we do not come together and crush the NPP in the
upcoming 2024 general elections.

I crave the indulgence of Ghanaians from all walks of life to put our religious, political, and tribal differences aside. Let’s take a minute and think about the direction of Ghana and the futures of our children, and crush the NPP on December 7, 2024. Let us spoil the rod and save the child instead of sparing the rod to spoil the child.

To the academics, traditional rulers, religious leaders, farmers, traders,
students, market women, drivers, the media, lawyers, security personnel,
civil servants, youths, and all other Ghanaians, let’s put aside our emotions
and come together to crush the NPP to save Ghana.

We cannot sit unconcerned, throw our hands up in despair, and do nothing. The rot must be curtailed. Even though we are being ruled by an arrogant dictator, we can take solace from the fact that we are not under a military regime. Therefore, we have the opportunity to stop this moving train of national destruction on December 7; let’s do it for ourselves, our children, and Mother Ghana.

We cannot allow the current status quo, where a few have a sense of entitlement and feel they are at liberty to do whatever they like with impunity, to perpetuate. Future generations will not forgive us if we do not act and
stop this dangerous trajectory Ghana is currently being compelled to take.
Any logical, clever, and well-meaning Ghanaian who is not participating in the
plunder of our limited resources will tell you that Ghana is on its knees and
needs to be rescued.

A vote for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will embolden the NPP and their protagonists to continue mismanaging the economy and plundering national assets and eventually succeed in implementing their diabolical agenda of bequeathing our natural resources to their descendants through the dubious Agayapa deal.

The fact is that in the highly unlikely event of Dr. Bawumia winning the 2024
elections (perish the thought); the status quo will remain the same. Ghanaians
will be denied any form of accountability from corrupt government officials.
In fact, it will continue to fester.

Let’s take a minute and think about our dear country, then come together and
crush the NPP on December 7 to save Ghana from total destruction.
