MONEY TALKS Akuffo Addo buys Nationawide PrimeTime to Launch Campaign

It has been revealed that the Former Foreign Minister of our dear nation, Nana Akuffo Addo is about to capture the airwaves this evening. From 6:30 pm this evening the obviuosly loaded nana Addo will set out to explain to Ghanaians and especially NPP delegates why we should vote him to be our president. .And how much does he acquire the airtime for? .... a cool $4000. This figure look huge but i can asure you that he can afford three times that much. And am i shocked that the political class seem to be willing to go all the way to aquire political power? No! There is so much at stake and the upcoming elections in 2008 will be an almighty blood battle to win power.Expect more of such spending spree in the coming weeeks and months as the race for the flagbeareship of the Npp hots up. The NPP will surely ling the money spoils they have amassed in power to keep themselves whre the money is. So if anyone hears a muffled voice with a serious tone on their radio this evening ;be informed that it is Nana Addo Calling.

CPP WAKING UP

It is probably the Best new our jubilee year. It is an auspicious year and it will be an appropriate time for the party founded by the Great Nkrumah to wake up and take its rightful place in the political landscape of this country.

Over the last few weeks the CPP has been enjoying a lease of positive media attention. The party has been in the public space for more good raesons than any other cause. Any body who wacthes the political scene in Ghana will attest tonthe fact that when such things happen then it means there is a fundamental shift in the political dynamics of this country.

The 50th Annivessary celebrations has refocused more attention on the graetness of Nkrumah and what he has achieved for this country. Every one looks back with pleasant nostalgia of the really good old days. The detractors of Nkrumah ,try as they could did not succeed in eroding the solid reputation the Great Man built for himself accross Ghana and Africa.It was such a beautiful sight to watch all the leaders of Africa converge on the Independece Park and pay deserved tribute to the Great Man and thank him for his help in the liberation strugle all over the continent. Also the recently ended AU summit in Accra where our current president (as the Host) and majority of the presidents gathered failed miserably to come up with a decision on a Continental Union government showed how forward looking Nkrumah was when he proposed a union government in 1957 at the time of Ghanas Independence.

Again this resurgence of the CPP is a sign of the yearning of ghanaians to have another party that will bring a new dael and attitude toi the table.And CPP seems to be best placed to fill this gap.

I am hoping those in authority will not blow this opportunity and capitalise on the groundswell of sentimental affection that is being shown. The leadership of the CPP must match this show of support and interest with equal harwork and organisational prowess.

PLEASE DO NOT LET OSAGYEFO AND THE PEOPLE OF GHANA DOWN ;CPP!!!

KARL ROVE RESIGNS

So finnally the brain of Mr. Bus has left the Neocon Nest.This is a huge blow to the increasing vulnerable Bush administration in its dying last years. In a move to save the precious little reputation Rove has left, he has resigned citing personal and familiy reasons. Mr. Bush says it is a major loss for his administration and he aint kidding when he says that.

CRAZY SYSTEM (FUEL PRICE INCREASES)

Today I sat in a public transport bus (actually they are all privately owned) from home on my way to work just as i do everyday;the only difference was that a huge argument ensued among the driver and his conductor on one side and the passenger on the other over fares. the arguments were so fierce and heated that it threatened to boils over into fisticuffs. Theres was this wily man who was really boiled over and threatened fire and brimstone. This is the perennial bickering that follows any increase in gasoline prices whether announced or unannounced. The Killer govern met are uncoceruered about all this because those in government will not bear any burden whatsoever. It cost me 18000 cedis to commute to and from work every single day from my 900000 cedis allowance .(which is in a 2 months arrears anyway )
