‘PROF CAN’T RULE GHANA’

The proxy battle ongoing in the government of the Atta-Mills-led-NDC has taken different dimension with even the Majority Leader Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, MP for Nadowli North venting his displeasure with the lacuna attitude of Mills.

It was reported that, the Majority Leader of parliament told the media that, the president has surrounded himself with sycophants, bootlickers, and oppressors who to him are recklessly dissipating the nation’s resources. Muntaka and the ‘diaper’ issues is a case in point.

Also critical is the explosion of Hon. Michael Teye’s disgust at the Mills ‘can’t rule Ghana’ attitude by stating that, “this is the time you have to prove your mettle, but I have not see it yet’. This is in sharp response to the Mills tortoise pace running of the country. The Daily Guide in its 2 Dec, 2009 issue NO 286/09 described the Hon. Michael Teye as the ‘arch anti-Mills campaigner in the 2008 presidential race’, but that will not becloud his genuine comments.

Looking at the performance of Mills and his vice Mahama within this year leaves nothing to be said. I must state my worry at the time when Mills in the rating of his performance during his 100 days in his office awarding himself ‘8’ out of 10.
This is disgusting for a president who has been given a one term of four years speaking voluminously in just one hundred days in office.

The hungers that pang at the stomach of the people who blamed the NPP-Kuffuor-led administration are still suffering with some scratching their butt as a means of satisfaction. There are still people in the villages and the urban areas whose source of drinking water is guinea-worm infested water. There are still people who sleep under the Achimota and the Adomi bridges exposed to all sorts of harm and risk.

Today, Samuel Okudzeto, the deputy minister of information speaks verbiage on radio stations in his defense of the ‘moribund’ Mills led administration. His incessant desire to defend a defenseless government has landed him uselessly and fruitlessly throwing tantrums to the public and unnecessary justification of their wrongs by invoking the past deeds of the NPP administration.

If Mills cannot discern between dire needs of the electorate and luxurious needs of the ruling class then he can definitely not control the ruin of power. If the people were satisfied with the NPP administration they would not have offered them the ‘stick’ and offered the NDC ‘carrot’. So what is the unnecessary justification that the deputy minister always resort to.

According to Alhaji Bature an activist of NDC, ‘President Mills and his vice, John Mahama may have no option but to bow out if things continue the way they are’.
Mills must be told that if he holds the fort well, ‘the impacts on our society and the economy will be huge and cross-cutting’ which will benefit the man walking barefooted to cultivate food to feed all of us.

Mills must change else the people will ‘starve’ them with power come 2012 and if care not taken forever. Don’t worry about me. I am a frustrated Ghanaian tired of the status-quo who sees the NPP and the NDC as the same in terms of everything.
