'Ghanaians Earnestly Yearn For Akufo-Addo's Presidency' (Part 1)
'A human being may get rich through bloodshed and
betrayal but the control button for true joy and
the consequences of man's actions are completely
outside his/her latitude of influence'. It is
nearly two years ago when our Former President,
Professor John Atta Mills suddenly died. Prior to
his death, Ghanaians had been made to believe that
the late President was hale and hearty.

We, members of Ghanaians Earnestly Yearn for Akufo
Addo's Presidency are therefore deeply alarmed and
shocked at the ineptitude and seemingly lack of
forthrightness being exhibited by the Security
Agencies in conducting investigations into the
sudden death of the former President. The general
apathy exhibited by the Security Services has
given room to speculations that they are in league
with the Ruling Party who we suspect played
leading roles in dispatching the former President
into his untimely grave.

The restrained hand of justice in bringing to book
acts of impunity, some of which bordered on
treasonable felony has fuelled our speculation
that the President and his political atavists are
sacred cows and therefore untouchable. Any
Ghanaian who does not subscribe to the
Mephistophelean ideology of the NDC is treated
with scum as a second rated citizen in the country
of his birth. President John Mahama divisive
policy has pitted Ghanaians against themselves.
This is a dangerous phenomenon.

We, the members of Ghanaians Earnestly Yearn for
Akufo Addo's Presidency are displeased with the
way and manner the Security Services have handled
the death of Former President, Professor John
Evans Atta Mills. We cannot fathom the sudden
inertia which has crept into the various branches
of the security services, making it almost
impossible to function at its optimum.

We recall with nostalgic feelings the exploits of
past members of our security services which made
them the cynosure of all eyes and envy of other
countries. Where is the policeman whose nickname,
'Abban' became a household name in the country? He
had the temerity to arrest the driver of late
Prime Minister, Dr. K.A.Busia car for a traffic
offence. The heavens did not fall! Sadly today,
this pride has been eroded under the clueless and
whimsical government of President John Mahama.

Today, we have a President who commented on the
death of his predecessor with utter detachment.

'It is often said that in adversity, there are
opportunities. God has been good to our party. The
death of President Mills has opened a door of
opportunity for me to become President' (President
John Dramani Mahama). Juxtapose the President's
statements with that of Anita de Souza own that
'if former President Mills had not died at the
time he did, it would have dimmed the chances of
the NDC', and you cannot but come to the
conclusion that the former President did not die a
natural death.

We, the members of Ghanaians Earnestly Yearn for
Akufo Addo's Presidency are extremely shocked that
the Police have not deemed it imperative to invite
both the President and the NDC's Women's Organizer
for questioning. We are more than convinced that
President Mahama knows more than he has told the
nation. We are equally more than convinced the
President was deeply involved in the death of his
Predecessor. We therefore call on the Security
Agencies to perform their constitutional duty
which they have sworn to do by inviting the
President to shed more light on his statement.

Even though it is appointed unto man once to die,
no one, not even a conscienceless person jubilates
at the death of his or her enemy. Muslims do
accept the passing away of a loved one as the will
of Allah and do not spend longer period in
mourning the dead as the Christians do.
Nevertheless no Muslim will ever make any such
reckless remarks as were made by President Mahama
and the Women's Organizer of the NDC, Anita de
Souza. The statements could at best be described
as callous devoid of feelings, most especially
when viewed against the background that the late
President did not attain the expected age of
Seventy Years as stated in the Holy Bible.
President Mahama's reckless statement that God has
been good to the NDC by taking the life of
President Mills gives cause for concern.

Those statements by President Mahama and Anita de
Souza reveal a grand conspiracy hatched by highly
placed persons at the Presidency to do something
sinister about the dwindling fortunes of the NDC.
So, what did they do? They dispatched former
President, Professor Mills to his early grave. You
may choose to call it 'mercy killing' if you
like.

We are asking the Security Agencies what they are
doing the death with all these evidence starring
them at their faces.

We of the Ghanaians Earnestly Yearn For Akufo Addo
President are convinced beyond all reasonable
doubts that the unfortunate and foolish act of
making the former President go through vigorous
exercises at the KIA prior to his departure to the
US for medical treatment and after his arrival
were all geared towards exacerbating his illness
to make him succumb to his untimely demise. Could
any top member of the Party including current
President John Mahama give Ghanaians one tangible
reason why they did what they did?

We are therefore calling for the arrest of all
protocol officers and top members of the NDC on
the day the President departed from the country
and when he arrived from his medical trip abroad.

We are at a loss as to why the Security Agencies
have deliberately turned a deaf ear and blind eye
to the inconsistencies in two statements made by
President Mahama in connection with the death of
his predecessor, John Evans Atta Mills. The first
one was made on the day he was sworn in as
President. And what did he say? He said he had met
the former President on the morning of the day he
was officially pronounced dead in company of the
then Chief of Staff, Henry Martey Newman in the
late President's office. There and then, his
former boss had asked both of them to represent
him at a public function holding at the
International Conference Centre. Having
successfully completed the assignment they
returned to give feed back to the late President
in the latter's office.

Then came the mother of all blunders. In an
interview with Shaka Ssali of VOA Straight Talk
Africa fame at a latter date, President Mahama,
who perhaps was suffering from selective amnesia
perjured himself by stating that he observed that
the late President did not come to his office on
Monday, 23rd July, 2012. He, then Vice President
Mahama went to his office and found a memo from
the late President asking him and the Chief of
Staff to represent him (the late President) at a
public function holding at the ICC. During that
interview, President Mahama never made mention of
having met the late President before and after the
assignment. Why? A credibility doubt is created
here and it is something the security agencies
should focus their investigations on.

Why did he omit the fact that he and the Chief of
Staff had met the former President on the day he
(former President Mills) died? The answer is
simple. It was because no such meeting took place
.

It is pertinent at this stage to introduce another
aspect of deception and cover up by top members of
the NDC. Haruna Iddrissu, the youthful
Communications Minister, who we learn is nursing
presidential ambition would not be left out of
that political quagmire. He said he was part of
the delegation that represented the President on
the day he, Former President Mills died. But he
gave the venue of the function as the Arts Centre,
Accra.

Again we ask: Why are there many discrepancies in
the various accounts? Why do we have different
venues for a single function? Those omissions,
falsifications, misrepresentations, distortions
and blatant lies speak volumes of mischief and
conspiracies that went on behind the scenes for
which the security agencies must do well to unmask
so as to bring perpetrators of such a heinous
crime to justice.

We are not the least bemused at the treasonable
felony committed by the security capos on the day
before the former President 'officially' died.
Ordinary Ghanaians know that armored vehicles are
used to guide the residence of an incumbent
President. There cannot be two people holding the
same office.

We therefore cannot fathom the reason that went
into dispatching those armored vehicles to guide
the residence of the then Vice President John
Dramani Mahama at Cantonments at a time when the
former President was supposedly alive. Such
infractions portend grave danger for the country.
