Fare Ye Effectively, Pricey President and First Lady – Half I – Ghana Information On-line
So quickly the drapers might be lowered to bring to a halt the political journey of His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that has spanned many years, having metamorphosed from a human rights advocacy to broaden into political activism, all for the love of humanity and Mother Ghana. This is one feat that posterity will lovingly smile at when historical past beckons! For such a terrific individual to be this a lot centered on loving his nation, there should be a formidable character that urges on when the going will get powerful. Yes, Her Excellency the First Lady, however femininity and the softness of a coronary heart that brims with love, she has been the rock that supported her husband, the President. In Akan, there may be an idiom that claims, “aboa a onni dua, Nyame na ɛpra ne ho,” to wit, “those who do not have support, GOD will help them!” Luckily for the President, he had each the assist of his GOD and his spouse, “Beautiful Rebecca”, as he fondly refers to her.
It has not been a journey free from hazards, rea life perils, ill-wishes, and evil character assassinations of all types. Once, when he first began campaigning to be the flagbearer of the NPP, a few years in the past, he obtained to a spot within the depth of a hostile evening the place he was supposed to fulfill with a bunch of so-called supporters that weren’t there. Then he was with three males, solely. It was darkish and treacherous, and as if the nervousness was not sufficient, the automotive they have been travelling in broke down! They needed to trek a distance to discover a place of refuge for the evening. Of course, such tales stay within the archives of silent reminiscences till somebody picks them off the shelf to inform a extra strong story. One of his companions, who narrated this story to me handed on a few years!
Yes, he fought for all, regardless of anybody’s affiliations. A gentleman from a unique political divide as soon as advised me how Nana Akufo-Addo ensured that the previous accepted a toddler from a one-night stand. He refused to surrender on the child’s rights. This gentleman is now a really grateful father, he says, as a result of that youngster is at the moment an IT guru, residing within the US and making thousands and thousands. Such tales abound in his many years on earth, and if you don’t like him for one motive or the opposite, at the very least, you ought to grasp that he’s a self-made individual, who had strategic companies and investments. I discover it troublesome to swallow the wrongful accusations that some unscrupulous people search to taint his achievements with. Being the astute lawyer that he’s, having served within the UK, France, and throughout West-Africa, he isn’t the one to leap in any case allegation to maltreat anybody at that. He has at all times believed in adducing proof earlier than prosecution. Those that have been hurling allegations in all instructions accompanied with acidic salvos and diatribes didn’t include a shred of proof to buttress their allegations, so when he referred some instances to the safety providers and the outcomes got here again clear, what was he anticipated to do? Whether the investigative our bodies colluded with the accused individuals to difficulty clear reviews of discovering, that’s for GOD to evaluate.
By the best way, when in Ghana, in any respect, have the safety providers been trustworthy with their jobs? To provide you with an instance, I’ve a brief story to inform earlier than persevering with with this text. I stay in a spot sandwiched between two very loud companies that play church music and highlife all through the day and evening. If you sat in my lounge, you’d assume that you simply have been in a pub of loud drunkards or at a method one race observe as a result of if the music didn’t startle you out of your thoughts, the drunken drivers with their altered exhausts farted their means down the street as they sped just like the roadrunner cartoon character! There was nothing that I didn’t do. I had assembly upon assembly with the Tesano Police Command and the DCE, however despite the guarantees to conduct raids on these amenities, all of them went to sleep. Their loud night breathing was even louder than the music! So, I known as a really huge pal of mine, the top of a safety establishment to hunt his intervention. The response he gave me was the worst of all, much more poisonous than the noisy surroundings I used to be complaining about; and I wanted he had not uttered a phrase! He advised that I purchased half packs of rice and rooster to distribute to the church noise makers and drunken patrons of the pub. Ah, what an insult! So, if such an individual was to conduct an investigation, what do you assume would occur? Let me go away the remaining as much as your creativeness!
You can hardly blame the president for the curvature of a canine’s tail. It could be very troublesome to straighten, excuse my French! (Sɛbe, me bo mo bɛ)
At least, he has completed his greatest. Nevertheless, he put measures in place to carry some type of decency into the system! That is to not say that he’s not fallible. Who on this world isn’t a sinner? You know, if we weren’t sinners, ALLAH would have changed us with sinners in order that they will at all times return to HIM and beg for pardon, one thing HE likes to grant. Yes, the President may need made errors! Yes, he may need made some judgements in error, however, then once more, is he not a Human Being? It is claimed that these with glass homes should not forged stones, and, verily so.
Look on the broader image and you’ll realise that his social interventions and infrastructural achievements are unparalleled in Ghana and in West-Africa. They will communicate for themselves and inform their very own tales! My pen can by no means write a concise testimony as a result of it’ll take volumes to speak, however suffice it to say that after we keep in mind His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, we’ll do not forget that as soon as upon a time, we have been struck with a horrible pandemic that instinctively kickstarted his empathy. Then we obtained free water and electrical energy to alleviate the destructive results on us.
I shall return…!!!
