Dear Grandpa/ Nana Akufo -Addo
I have decided to write to you despite all odds. I know some people will bash me for doing this but sir I lay more claim to you than them. No fears though, I will be very circumspect in my diction. That is because you have not ascended to the high office of the land yet. I believe climbing mountain Everest would have been easier. Nana, I am short of words in describing you. Your qualities and virtues; I have the privilege of knowing you first hand so I can vouch for you. Let your humility guide you. Always. Many do not know this aspect of you. Earlier reports of you in the media in the PNDC/NDC era denoted you as an arrogant human being. Apuuuuuuu!!! Few saw when you volunteered to walk to enable the lawyers in the Attorney General’s department to use your official vehicle. Kw3333!! I was there. I saw it.
Nana, I read about a few uncouth people calling you Grandpa. It is a privilege. You have earned it. We look to you. Sir, permit me to address you as Dad; after all you are my daddy’s age mate and Legon mate. Don’t mind them!! They wish they could be called Grandpa but alas nothing for them. I dare call you Grandpa because I have three kids and in the Ghanaian tradition, if I see you as my daddy’s friend, then I call you “Uncle”. My kids will call you Grandpa. I told them about “Dumsor” in Ghana.
They laughed and asked “ daddy, what is Dumsor?” I replied “ it is the act of turning the light on and off at the whims of nobody.” They laughed and asked “ daddy, who is the president of Ghana?” I answered, “Drop that yam”. Actually I meant drop “Mahama”. Nana, I believe if you have the interest of Ghanaians at heart (which you do), you will tackle “Dumsor “ with all the seriousness it deserves.
The economy runs on power (not superficial power or that thing that makes some humans go crazy); electricity. It is the major concern of the citizens of Ghana, to be able to enjoy electricity not only for business but also for pleasure. I pray and plead do not make promises like your predecessor. Do you read the newspapers? So so promises. He even promised not to promise again. Then immediately he promised. Ghanaians are very hardworking people. Don’t joke with that unless the EC comes into play. They can visit you with the Israelis and vehemently deny. You did a good job in court. The court processes. Alhaji Bawumia. I digress. Please focus on true governance. Streamline politics. Call your corner to order when applicable. Please do not allow for any nonsensical behavior especially from the young. You have strived to be called a Statesman. I want to add Luminary. Nana, I know what you can do. Please do not allow for corruption. Unfortunately, a man named. Gentle K allowed for some members of his government to buy state properties at prices unimaginable. Do not allow same. Any member linked anyway somehow to you, involved in corruption should face the court in a fair and just trial. No vindictive politics. I am begging off you. No chaskele court ooo.
Education. Education. Education. You have already stated what you want to do. I will not visit it. Improve the educational system of the country. I am counting on you. You can do it. FREE EDUCATION!!!
Nana, please rewrite Ghana’s blueprint for development. Please set us on a fast track to development. The whole system must be revamped. For the betterment. I am counting on you. Please!!
Don’t fail us, sir. We are counting on you. If and if you fail, then it only goes to prove what some posited all along: that you are equally “sikadicious”. If you intend to fail too, then please note, you will equally have the blood of innocent citizens of Ghana on your hands.
Nana, no kpa kpa kpa!!
Please, do well to put to rest the abounding and sailing rumors concerning you and Ex-Prez K4 and the current suspended chairman and suspended Gen-secretary.
Nana, I wish you well.
I am only a messenger.
I have come to deliver.
