I am often amused to hear such influential young people from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the current main opposition party, facing the question of whether the memory and honor of the late President John Evans Atta-Mills have been preserved. properly preserved, especially by the leaders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), currently in power – (See "Let us remember Atta-Mills for it to be respected, respected, if you do not." can not or not – Ghanaweb, from Ablakwa to the NPP. "com 19/07/19). This is undoubtedly the most ridiculous public statement made by a key member of the National Democratic Congress, the main opposition party in the country. On this last point, some observations may be relevant here; and the first is that if the leaders of the NDC really wanted the image and honor of the first elected Ghanaian leader to be dead, the death of man would not continue to remain a mystery . the rest of the Ghanaian public and members of the global community in general.
You see, Mr. Ablakwa, you do not preserve the honor, the dignity, and the memory of a leader whom you claim to cherish publicly and pontifically by showing a total lack of solicitude for the shameful and shameful way in which your alleged political hero met his death. And then, the second-in-command of the deceased president jubilated on the airwaves to wildly and harshly celebrate the death of his former boss, mainly because, according to the sinister and selfish opinion of Vice President John Dramani Mahama, presumptuous act of Divine Providence to have dismissed the then president, Atta-Mills, to give way to the glorious emergence and advent of Ghana's first postcolonial leader, born after the reaffirmation by Ghana's sovereignty over the British colonial regime.
Indeed, if the deputy of the National Democratic Congress of Tongu-North really stood in the memory and honor of the brilliant and highly honored former tax law professor of the country's flagship academy, namely the University of Ghana, Mr Ablakwa would be since long ago, we are calling for an official investigation into the chain of strange events and strange circumstances that led to the death of the former lieutenant-bow of the Former president Jerry John Rawlings. But, perhaps, we must also make it clear that, as President of the Democratic Republic of Ghana, retired Professor Atta-Mills had neither been particularly distinguished nor credibly acquitted. Mr. Ablakwa might have chosen to forget that, but the rest of the Ghanaian people have not at all forgotten that it is President Mills, at the time, who had shamelessly and outrageously forced Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome to steal from spending 51.2 million GHG of Ghanaian taxpayers' money as long as this mega-thief could play with the laws of the country; that is, until the auspicious and, in retrospect, apparently timely intervention of President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
If MM. Mahama and Ablakwa really want to know what divine predestination or intervention really looks like, they should look at how Ghana's former attorney general and attorney general attained the presidency. We must also emphasize the fact that, as a leading jurist and scholar, President Mills was an inexcusable mocker who actually incited the young Mr. Ablakwa and Dr. Edward Kofi Omane-Boamah, then appointed to junior positions. in his government, a shocking, depraved and disgusting challenge to an order of the Supreme Court of Canada in the Obetsebi-Lamptey case against Okudzeto-Ablakwa and Omane-Boamah. This is the kind of scabrous memory I have of this man every time the name of the late President Mills is mentioned.
In any case, the creation of a foundation on behalf of the late President Atta-Mills should not be solely focused on the presentation of annual conferences in memory of the man. On the contrary, it should also involve the raising of public funds for the maintenance of the Atta-Mills Mausoleum at Geese Park or the so-called Asomdwoe Park. You see, he was perhaps a man of mild manners, perhaps chiefly provoked by his well-known chronic ill health, which would come partly from smoking; But it is also important to point out that as Vice President of President Rawlings, the dynastic heir of the infamous Swedru Declaration was not remarkably known for being a peaceful or loving man. peace. To be certain, it is under the eyes of these two "revolutionary" spearheads that the punitive hairstyle, known as "Haircut Identification", by which any enemy perceived leaders of the National Democratic Congress, the Majestic Personification of the North Korean-style Democratic Republic of Ghana, her hair was literally scraped off with a broken bottle. Are the previous examples of political barbarity what the former deputy minister of education would like Ghanaians to preserve and cherish?
