Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents as you know,
I am on leave. I am taking time to rest my mind, body and soul. Within this period, I am supposed to stop thinking about you and all the problems you expect me to solve. I simply have to stay home and enjoy myself while spending some quality time with Mama Tess ? aided, of course, by a few bottles of Alomo bitters.

I am really having a good time. But I can?t wait for this short vacation to end for me to go out there and start campaigning for the upcoming elections. I just can?t wait to go out there and slug it out with all those pretenders who think they can sweet-talk their way to the Castle to sit on the Black Star Stool. As I?ve said in a previous letter, but for Fiifi Tata Mills, I would have impressed on the Electoral Commission to call off the elections and declare me unopposed simply because I feel that there is no real competition out there.
