Insultingly, as though he was not speaking to the very electorate who made him President, President Mahama had the effrontery to flaunt before Ghanaians the unlawful acquisition of acres of land for cocoa farming in abuse of office under Articles 68 and 284 of the 1992 Constitution as an excuse for the indigent cocoa farmer to accept the government’s breaches of trust on the agreed producer price for the 2025/2026 season.

The objective truth vindicating me on the failure of the Asantehene’s Bawku Mediation came out of the President’s own mouth to the Chiefs of the Upper East Regional House of Chiefs on 10 February 2026 and is available on the electronic media that mediators whether traditional or whatever form of mediation cannot usurp the functions of arbitrators or adjudicators in making decisions binding on the parties to the mediation process. The law is the law!

President Mahama could have enforced the law on the existence of only one recognized Bawku-Naba as Overlord of the Bawku Traditional Area without enhancing the status of Alhaji Seidu Abagre “as a rival Bawku-Naaba for the Mamprusi people” as no such status is known to the law. The only lasting solution to the Bawku Affairs is to enforce the existing law in strict compliance with the 1992 Constitution and the laws of Ghana without reference to electoral political objectives. 

The Bawku conflict is a different identity based and intractable conflict which has also seen political interferences under the 1992 Constitution which eventually led the country to the violence of October 2024 and where we are today trying to resolve the same conflict outside the framework provided for such conflicts under the 1992 Constitution.     

I congratulate President Mahama for violating his own rules and promises in giving IGP Yohuno a two-year post-retirement contract. This is a typical example of the President’s exhibition of fidelity to his family, friends, and cronies as the core principle of his reset government agenda thus far. We-the-People can never be deceived all the time.

The approval by Parliament on Tuesday 18 November 2025 of a waiver of a 20% withholding tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) on the income of TCS, amounting to approximately $10.46 million was made on a contract adopted and renegotiated by President Mahama’s government based solely on the benefits accruable to the family, friends, and cronies of the government and the reciprocal diplomatic and international relationship capital to be gained from the transaction for the Ghanaian and Indian governments.

IGP Yohonu has been desperate for a post-retirement contract from the day of his appointment and is not, therefore, in a position to stand his ground to defend the responsibilities enjoined on him by Article 202 of the 1992 Constitution against presidential pressures or directives from his subordinate, a COP acting as the National Security Coordinator receiving instructions directly from President Mahama.

President Mahama needs to show leadership as a servant of the sovereign people under the 1992 Constitution by being humble to take personal responsibility for the catastrophe at the El Wak Sports Stadium that resulted in the avoidable deaths of six elector compatriots, and apologize to the affected families and the nation instead of spinning away as usual and trying to pass blame to the victims who had no control over the venue and planning of the recruitment exercise that led to the avoidable incident there.

President Mahama, nominate a new Chief Justice for approval by Parliament without any further delay while your Attorney-General gets the frivolous, vexatious, and abusive application of the court process by Mrs. Torkornoo thrown out of court soonest in the interest of national security and the supremacy of the 1992 Constitution. Ghana First!            

Every reasonable and objective non-partisan reader of the ruling refusing bail in the case under discussion cannot fail to appreciate that Judge Samuel Bright Acquah does not possess the learning, integrity, and high moral character to remain on the Circuit Court let alone to be elevated to the Superior Court of Judicature. I hope and pray to God that Animal Farm is not the country President John Dramani Mahama wants to leave for Ghana as his legacy under Superior Court Justices like Samuel Bright Acquah.

By parity of reasoning, the President who is the recipient of petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice will be abusing his oath of office to obstruct the right of a citizen petitioner to prosecute his petition against the respondent Chief Justice by accepting her resignation after  the determination of a prima facie case, the appointment of the pursuant committee to inquire into the petition and her suspension from office. What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

Mr. President, be even handed and crack the whip to recover all loot from the OSP and earn the nation’s respect this time round in your tenure. Vindicate the electorate’s trust in you and anchor the NDC on solid grounds for 7 December 2028. Mr. President, I will stand by you all the way in any genuine endeavour by you to fight corruption in Ghana. We can only achieve this by, Putting Ghana First!

President Mahama, deal with the payroll “economic crime scene” at the OSP which made a favourable decision for your benefit first and establish your credibility to deal with the irregularities at the NEIP, and the annulment of all appointments made by former President Akufo-Addo after 7 December 2024.

The empty rhetoric of inheriting politico-economic crime scenes has been part of the rhetoric of every new government under the 1992 Constitution since 7 January 2001 to date, and that is precisely the reason for the electorate wagering their luck with President John Dramani Mahama again on 7 December 2024 upon his can-do promises. Please, brother, walk your pre-election can-do talk!

The profane declaration of Ken Ofori-Atta as a fugitive from Ghanaian justice by the OSP during the tenure of the John Dramani Mahama government discloses the true nature and character of the Special Prosecutor as a double agent serving the politico-economic interests of the deep state elite in both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to scam the citizens of this country in the name of the fight against corruption.

President John Dramani Mahama if you are not part of the exhibition of the coup mentality by your appointees and other underlings of your government, then you need to crack the whip to call them to order, and to redeem your image by setting up an independent enquiry to establish the true facts no matter where the truth may lead. We the People want a Ghana that is reset forward and not backwards as all the indications are pointing to. Mr. President the time to act is, now!

The President needs to walk his talk by ensuring that all those involved in this despicable invasion and other invasions of citizens’ rights and freedoms are brought to trial before the ordinary courts in accordance with the due process of law. Ghana must reset forwards and not backwards to yesteryears! That is what the electorate voted for and not media psyops to deflect the enormity of such unlawful acts by government assets and agents.

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.

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.

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.
