BAWUMIA NOT FIRST INCUMBENT CANDIDATE TO CONCEDE DEFEAT BEFORE DECLARATION OF RESULTS IN GHANA
The inerasable truth is that Dr. Bawumia is not the first incumbent Vice President and presidential candidate to concede defeat to his opponent under the 1992 Constitution to reduce electoral tensions in an atmosphere charged with suspicion of the ruling government intending to rig presidential elections.
WE-THE-PEOPLE MUST WATCH EVERY STEP PARLIAMENT TAKES UNTIL ITS DISSOLUTION
With a vote of no confidence in both the President Nana Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and the Speaker Bagbin-led Parliament on 7 December 2024, We-the-People who have proven our capability to take our destiny into our own hands must remain ever vigilant against further abuses during the balance of the tenure of the President and the 8th Parliament.
CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT-ELECT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA FROM MARTIN AMIDU
President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, I congratulate you with all my mind, heart, and soul for your perseverance and for this victory that will allow you to make a positive and beneficial impact on the lives of the ordinary citizen on the streets as President of the Republic of Ghana. There is great enthusiasm and hope in the air for the people of Ghana, the ECOWAS sub-region and Africa in general for the peaceful election and change of government at the ballot box as portending an African renaissance of good governance under your leadership.
ORDINARY GHANAIANS: CONGRATULATE YOURSELVES FOR A SUCCESSFUL VOTE ON 7 DECEMBER 2024
Election 2024 is done and Mother Ghana has won. I am confident that the moment came yesterday for our nation Ghana to decide in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side. We had some cause, and some great decision to make yesterday which we have made. The election yesterday does not conclude the struggle in the strife of truth with falsehood that offers our nation the bloom or blight. The struggle with and for the people, however, continues unabated until our destiny of victory is achieved.
WHY MARTIN AMIDU CANNOT SUPPORT MAHAMUDU BAWUMIA’S CANDIDATURE AT THE 2024 ELECTIONS
I cannot as a person born in the then NT recommend Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as a person with the trait of honesty, integrity and selfless service exhibited by our forebearers from the NT to the Republic of Ghana to be elected on 7 December 2024 as President symbolizing a representation of northerners on an NPP ticket for Ghana. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is not only an opportunist and pretender, he has lost track of the high moral character associated with his own biological family and the forebearers of Northern Ghana.
AKUFO-ADDO AND BAWUMIA’S TIMING FOR COMMISSIONING PUBLIC PROJECTS INSULTING TO ELECTORATE
The corrupt and looting government machinery of Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia are so power drunk that they only see the ordinary Ghanaian as a zombified idiot whose vote can be bought after dangling a few television pictures, news broadcast, and other media propaganda of completed and uncompleted projects to becloud his memory. Let us defend the Constitution by demanding probity and accountability, now on 7 December 2024! Let us defend the Constitution by demanding probity and accountability, now on 7 December 2024!
APPLAUD GJA’S SCEPTICISM ON POLICE LIAISON OFFICERS FOR SELECT MEDIA HOUSES
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts! The Ghana Police Service would not have been selective and overlooked extending an invitation for such an engagement to the Media Coalition as the professional umbrella bodies of the media industry in Ghana representing the interests and concerns of media practitioners and media houses in Ghana if the invitation and proposals were actuated by the national interest and not a politically partisan election agenda under the smokescreen of impartial policing.
TIME TO DEFEND CONSTITUTION AGAINST NANA AKUFO-ADDO’S LONG GAME OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE IS NOW
The deep polarization and intense emotions generated by the governance of the country under the Akufo-Addo/ Mahamudu Bawumia administration shows that the future stability of the 1992 Constitution is dependent on how free, fair, and transparent the 7 December 2024 elections are seen to have been managed and conducted by all the public institutions entrusted with supervising the elections. The time to defend the 1992 Constitution against election interference is NOW!
MAJORITY LEADER’S MEMORANDUM TO RECALL PARLIAMENT IS NEEDLESS NOW
Convening parliament for two days only may be convenient for the finances of the Members of Parliament, otherwise I see no rational reason for wasting the public purse just a few days to the 2024 elections. Apart from providing a provisional budget for the incoming government on 7 January 2025, there is no emergency necessitating the Speaker wasting public funds to abridge the fourteen days to recall Parliament before 7 December 2024 for a two-day session.
GOVERNMENT MUST ACCOUNT TO ELECTORATE FOR VIOLENT CONFLICTS BEFORE 2024 ELECTIONS
We the People delegated our sovereign power to the incumbent government at the polls on 7 December 2020. It is, therefore, imperative that the President and his Vice-President, the anointed successor, prove themselves as having provided the most competent leadership during their tenure by transparently accounting to We the People for how they managed our security in the past eight years and still brought the country to the Bawku crisis with nine other violent conflict points in several other regions before the vote on 7 December 2024.
IS BAWUMIA MOST COMPETENT CANDIDATE ON HUMAN SECURITY FOR 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS?
Bawumia needs to move away from the Kamala Harris rhetorical style of campaigning and speak directly to the public on his security and intelligence capabilities and policies that will bring the numerous violent conflicts throughout the country where curfews have been imposed under control and stop the unwarranted and needless killing which the failure of the Government has unleashed on the country within its tenure.
COMRADE JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS, THE ORDINARY GHANAIAN MISSES YOU ALREADY JUST FOUR YEARS ON
Just in four years, Ghanaians are missing you as the most honest Ghanaian leader of integrity under the 1992 Constitution, a hard taskmaster, with a heart of tolerance and magnanimity. We are still looking beyond the horizon and wondering when salvation will come to Ghanaians again under the 1992 Constitution you gave to our homeland Ghana. I salute you Comrade, and assure you that as long as we live on this earth we shall continue to fight, fight, and fight for the egalitarian ideals that underpinned our revolution.
RE-OPENING OF UER COURTS - JUDICIAL IMPARTIALITY IMPOSSIBLE UNDER A CHIEF JUSTICE LACKING INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY
A Chief Justice of any country who does not know the history and geography of her country and acts discriminatorily, unfairly, and without candour in the performance of her administrative and supervisory functions is clearly unfit to be the head of the administration of an independent judiciary. The empanelling of justices by her even to sit as justices of the superior courts to exercise the judicial power would be open to and actuated by arbitrariness, capriciousness, and incompetence to infect the independence of the courts as adjudication institutions.
WAS OCT 2024 BAWKU CONFLICT RESULT OF GOVERNMENT INDOLENCE AIMED AT DEC 2024 ELECTIONS?
The fact that the acting President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, stands to be a beneficiary of the Bawku Traditional Area crisis precipitated due to the indolence of the Government only two months to the 2024 elections should the registered voters in the six constituencies in the UER be unable to exercise their franchise freely and fairly, comes into focus with his inaction as acting President during the October 2024 conflict period.
SPEAKER’S FOLLY OF SHUTTING DOWN PARLIAMENT AND CLOSING ALL COURTS IN UPPER EAST REGIONAL CAPITAL
But for the folly of the NDC and the Speaker of Parliament, the House would have been in session and holding the Chief Justice’s administrative action of closing the High Court and other courts in Bolgatanga and its environs to account for her actions on the spurious reasons assigned and the unprecedented nature of her action in the history of Ghana taken so close to an election on 7 December 2024 that must be free, fair, and transparent under the 1992 Constitution.
SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT MUST OBEY AND ENFORCE DECISIONS AND ORDERS OF SUPREME COURT NOW
The Kabuki dance of writing a letter numbered PS/DC/24/234 dated 18 October 2024 to the Registrar of the Supreme Court returning Court processes to the Registrar and applying to the same Court to set aside its ruling and orders is over. The Speaker has no authority to hold the nation to ransom by obstructing the functioning of the constitutional system or any of the arms of government during the pendency of a constitutional matter before the Supreme Court. The Speaker needs to show cognitive maturity now!
PULLING 1992 CONSTITUTION FROM BRINK - NEEDLESS OCTOBER ADVENTURISM IN PARLIAMENT
The Speaker of Parliament needs to think long before side stepping the orders of the Supreme Court through subterfuges to preside over pushing the 1992 Constitution into the inferno of implosion instead of defending it as his oath of office and the Constitution demands. The stability and survival of the Fourth Republic of Ghana must take precedence over transactional politics, opportunism, and adventurism by groups of political elites bent on serving parochial and short-term self interests instead of the interest of the citizens of Ghana.
POLITICS OF DESPERATION FOR POLITICAL POWER IN GHANA - SITTING MPs AS INDEPENDENTS
The 2024 elections in Ghana must be fought and won on the integrity, honesty and policy programmes of the various candidates and their political parties. The unnecessary hyping of national tensions and promotion of violence which has the propensity to implode the 1992 Constitution just for the sake of raw power for its own sake without the interests of the citizens at heart must stop. Beware of 4 June 1979! Beware of 31 December 1981! None of the two major political parties will win when they undermine and facilitate the implosion of the 1992 Constitution.
MARTIN AMIDU THE COWARD, THE TALKATIVE, AND THE LIAR
I am not a coward or a liar in the terms of the question posed by Michela Wrong in her seminal book on corruption – “It’s Our Turn to Eat.” Like German Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, I am quite happy to be called a coward because my strategic and tactical objectives are beyond their comprehension. Kofi Attor, the Speaker of Parliament’s Chief of Staff, also knows that I am not a liar. As a shot across the bow, Joy FM and Kofi Attor may wish to read the tip of the iceberg reported on: Alban Bagbin admits he is corrupt (audio) - Graphic Online. The evidence has always been in plain view all over the internet.
SPEAKER BAGBIN, THE NDC, AND THE “DIRE NEED OF FUNDS BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS”
The NDC can close its eyes to their self-confessed corrupt Speaker refusing to divulge his ailment for which the taxpayer doles out millions of cedis and foreign currency in Dubai but can use the “dire need of funds because of the economic crisis” as a reason for rejecting the tax waivers it has similarly approved under the NDC and NPP Governments until the dawn of the next elections in a few months time on 7 December 2024. Every patriot has a duty to ensure that the 1992 Constitution is defended, and the electorate is not Zombified into merely voting for rhetoric instead of on credible and cogent facts, and evidence meriting their votes.
NDC SUPS WITH THE DEVIL AT CHURCH ST OFFICES OF AHWOIS AND THEIR COHORT
The possibility that in addition to whatever health problems of John Mahama may be known to the Ahwois and their cohort, is there also a kitchen cabinet plan to send John Mahama to sleep early, like Professor Mills, should he perchance win the 2024 elections, to make assurance double sure that their enterprise for their surrogate to become President before 2028 and, therefore, face no opposition for the nomination as the 2027 NDC flagbearer?
LGBTQ+ AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL ELECTIONEERING IN GHANA
The NDC and the NPP appear to be so invested in their opposing positions and the desire to use the dynamics of gay rights to win political power that they have not stopped to think about the consequences of their actions to the sustenance of constitutionalism, democracy, and the rule of law. The elders in the room who could have sought a compromise appear to have taken sides leading to both sides engaging in a dialogue of the deaf.
TO AVOID POLITICAL SUICIDE, NANA AKUFO-ADDO WILL NOT ASSENT TO THE LGBTQ+BILL
“Self-preservation is the first law of nature”, and it would be political suicide for Nana Akufo-Addo to assent to the LGBTQ+ Bill being passed by Parliament into law. Nana Akufo-Addo’s long game, the aura he has built around himself as a democrat in the Western tradition, and all the ingratiation efforts he has invested in, will come to nought should he assent to the Bill upon passage. The fact that other citizens knew the difficulty the Bill was going to face when it got to the desk of the President was articulated by no less a person than Minority Leader Ato Forson.
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND THEIR RUNNING MATES - JOHN MAHAMA’S CHOICES AND OTHER MATTERS
The problem with the manner the NDC Press Release was couched is that from my personal experience whosoever has been nominated by John Mahama as his running mate must have been invited and offered the nomination and he or she must have accepted the nomination already. The Ahwoi’s and their cohort, who now claim ownership of the NDC, speaking through Kwasi Ahwoi, named Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the successor to the National Democratic Congress flagbearer John Mahama after 2024. John Mahama is tied to their apron strings.
NANA AKOMEA - BEWARE QUOTING ME OUT OF CONTEXT FOR SPURIOUS REASONS
The NPP and the NDC should be careful about quoting what I said or wrote in the past out of context to spuriously support allegations of corruption or mismanagement against each other for the purely propaganda purpose of deceiving the electorate for their votes and abandoning them thereafter. I hope that when eventually I determine by a considered examination and analysis of the facts and evidence the most corrupt of the two political parties, they will each accept my verdict without question since I have become their authority on this issue.
BAWUMIA’S COPYCAT VISION SPEECH MIMICS UNFULFILLED TEAM AKUFO-ADDO RHETORIC OF 2016 AND 2020
As Ghana gets closer to the 2024 election season the NPP and the NDC are deploying various deceptive tools to win over the electorate whom they will each forget after securing the votes of the electorate to come to power for the next three years until the next election year. The 2024 elections should be won by established facts and projections with high degrees of probability for actualization. Ghana must always come first!
UDS KEYNOTE: CITIZENS’ ACTIONS, INDEPENDENCE OF STATE INSTITUTIONS AND ELECTIONS 2024
The 2024 elections are not going to take place in a vacuum. They are going to be informed by thirty years of electoral history under the 1992 Constitution. The Fourth Republican Constitution, 1992 underscores, like the three preceding Republican Constitutions, the sovereignty of the people as the foundation of the State. The citizen has since the 1969 Constitution been accorded a sovereign right to seek interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of the Constitution in the Supreme Court with guarantees of fundamental human rights and freedoms subject only to the provisions of the Constitution.
OFFICE OF SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IS DISCRIMINATORILY CORRUPT TO CORE
A Special Prosecutor abuses his mandate and commits the very suspected corruption and corruption-related offences he is appointed to fight against when he willfully and intentionally abuses his office for whatever consideration in aid of the cause of close associates by arresting, searching, detaining, and interrogating their opponents in the pretended name of fighting corruption and is discriminatorily corrupt to the core.
AKUFO-ADDO HAS ANOINTED BAWUMIA AS HIS SUCCESSOR TO BREAK THE 8
It is time to take seriously the warning about the intention of Nana Akufo-Addo to abuse the spirit of the 1992 Constitution so he can achieve an outcome at the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections favourable to him as an insurance in his retirement. Ghana’s democracy, the rule of law and constitutionalism enshrined in the letter and the spirit of the 1992 Constitution must be defended by all patriotic citizens even if the heavens fall.
LAST HURDLE TO MAKING OR UNMAKING NANA AKUFO-ADDO’S LONG GAME TO BREAK THE EIGHT
Mahamudu Bawumia is a safe pair of hands to give Nana Akufo-Addo the third term in office he seeks using a surrogate. Whether Nana Akufo-Addo will succeed in actualizing his long game with Mahamudu Bawumia at the 2024 elections will unfold after his nomination on 4 November 2023. Nature’s justice will ultimately determine the final verdict.
