Francis Poku’s Dead Mafia At Work

There is no denying the fact that since Prof Mills held his press conference on the energy crisis and followed it up with a statesman-like visit to the Akosombo Dam, which brought to the fore the fact the energy crisis would stay with us for a long time, Francis Poku and his paid media collaborators have not had a minute’s sleep.

The solid impact of the actions of Prof Mills has so thrown the NPP and Francis Poku into a state of apoplexy such that not a day passes by without one propaganda mouthpiece of the NPP trying to divert attention from the energy crisis and its related matters.

First, they tried to open a chasm between the former president and Prof Mills by concocting some stories about how the former had berated the latter for not being up and doing.

Of course, Gina Blay’s Daily Guide provided the fertile soil for such a dead seed to be sowed.

Thanks to a very focused NDC, none of such stories touched us let alone ruffle our feathers.

Then, they moved to the former president having said some things in the Hague about a month ago.

Thanks to Tony Aidoo, who was out there with the former president, it has come to light that the stories were fabricated and planted by Francis Poku’s outfit in the Observer, Crusading Guide and Statesman.

Now, it is an attempt by some NDC MP’s to murder one of their own. Oh ho!!! Is that how low they want to stoop to conquer? The Observer and the Concord, are the papers that are being used to churn out the latest diversionary agenda of Francis Poku and it is a pity that Egbert and Alfred would allow Francis Poku to use them this way. How much are they paid for this kind of conscienceless work? Only they know. The Ghanaian Lens is not known to write short Front Page comments but for the reason that by 10. a.m. yesterday morning it was obvious that Egbert Faibille’s Observer and Alfred Ogbamey’s Gye Nyame Concord had been stripped naked for doing nothing but obeying the command of Francis Poku to divert attention from, the energy crisis, the water crisis, the crisis on the student front, the labour unrests as well as the fact that Kufuor and his government have reached their wits end as far as lying is concerned, we would cut short our comment and let our readers judge for themselves the characters that Francis Poku’s dead mafia are.

As for Francis Poku, The Ghanaian Lens will continue to sit and laugh at his outmoded and very predictable modus operandi.

And as for Egbert Faibille, Alfred Ogbmey, Kwaku Baako, Gina Blay and co, they are covered in soot and right-thinking Ghanaians no longer take them serious. Nothing, and we mean, nothing, is going to make the NDC fall for the diversionary move of Francis Poku and his agents and so they can continue with their diversionary tactics for all we care.
