Why is the NDC always on the attack in every conversation, intellectual debate, political discourse, and beyond? Do they engage in any intellectual debate at all, and if so, with whom, where, and when?
The NDC, from their leader, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, to their most ordinary supporter on the street, seem to believe that they were born out of violence, specifically coup d’état, giving them the innate right to attack in all they do.
Is this belief not pure madness?
When I hear them on the radio as guests or phone-in callers, all I often hear is the ranting of someone who assumes the audacity of a macho man or a lawless person who can have their way in everything.
They often make no sense to me at all. They can hardly present their views calmly without issuing threats and spewing lies and trash. Why are they like that?
These are the people who want to rule Ghana, individuals with little to no intelligence but overflowing with lies, aggression, and all political negativities one can think of.
They lie to Ghanaians as if we are all fools with short memories.
Yes, they take us for fools, otherwise, their leader, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, wouldn’t publicly assert that Ghanaians have short memories and that he would lie during political campaigns to win votes.
Shall we be fools if we fall for the lies Mr. Mahama and the NDC continually tell in hopes of winning our votes and gaining political power?
How shameless can they be, claiming ownership of policies and social intervention programs not initiated by them but by the NPP?
How do they expect me, the proud and fearless son of Kumawu/Asiampa, Rockson Adofo, to take them seriously as politicians capable of governing Ghana?
The writer doesn’t buy into such NDC nonsense and lies, he must confess.
The economic hardship in Ghana is not unique but a worldwide phenomenon worsened by corrupt politicians that deserve condemnation.
Fellow Ghanaians, please don’t fall for the sweet lies, intimidations, confrontational attitudes, and balderdash spewed by the NDC to win your support in the upcoming general election.
As always said, I would be the biggest fool to not acknowledge that almost all Ghanaian politicians are corrupt and evil. However, some are more corrupt and evil than others. In this case, we should choose the lesser evil.
The NPP appears to be the lesser evil in this case. They are more competent, innovative, dynamic, and dedicated to serving the nation better than their shallow-minded NDC counterparts who lack clear policies and programs, unable to explain their proposed policies like the 24-Hour Economy and the fight against illegal small-scale mining (galamsey).
Fellow Ghanaians, please don’t cheapen yourselves by falling for the NDC's flattery and lies.
I rest my case.
