Mr former president of the republic of mother Ghana, Flt. Lt. Jerry JOHN Rawlings, I salute your majesty where ever you may be around the globe. I am grateful to your immense contribution to Ghana in terms of democracy and development. You are such a dedicated person so far as Ghana democracy and development is concerned, and may the almighty God reward you for that and live long to see all your dreams come true. I must also, commend you for mustering courage during the eight-year rule of the New Patriotic Party NPP under the leadership of his Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor.
Mr Rawlings, as I have already stated, since your childhood to date, you have sacrificed a lot, that is, you were imprisoned and your finger nails were wickedly removed but the GOD that sent you to his people did not fail you in any way. He still spares you life and now you are looking gentle and handsome, healthy physically but inwardly you are not. One can only understand you if such person put his foot into your shoe. You always fight against corruption and freedom for your beloved country, Ghana.
In spite of these, I should be humble to say that all these require time and patience. It is often translated from our Ewe local language that, "patience made it possible for one to get an ant's intestine". The cat I am trying to let out of the bag is that, during the 2008 general elections, some newspapers published on their front pages that electorate should not vote for the National Democratic Congress NDC because when they did, you the former president, Jerry Rawlings, would only take over. Having heard those political utterances, I asked myself these questions: What would provoke you from taking over power from the then candidate Mills? Who may second the idea of going back to those days despite it brought us grate benefit today? When will such taking of power take place? Why would you flout the demands of the1992 constitution of the Republic of mother Ghana? Where can this happen and how would the outside world see us as Ghanaians?
Mr Rawlings, I am of the view that President Professor John Evans Atta Mills was a teacher and a civilian. Despite that he is slow, BUT sure of what he is doing. He shall surely deliver on his campaign promise made to Ghanaians during the electioneering campaign. He should please be given the chance and peace of mind to govern because majority of Ghanaians had seen his competency of taking them to the promise land at the end of his term of office. I am not happy about the sentiment you have being expressing about President Mills and I humbly request that if there is any advice to be given to him, it should be given in closed door as well as settle all grievances there. This is because, it is the hope and wish for your enemies to break the party and prevent it from implementing your democratic ideologies. Let us not let the vulture sit on our fence and the enemy rejoices in the downfall of the party. Let us stop the factionalism among the party and unit to build the true better Ghana.
Mr Rawlings correction in the party does not call for a quit. I humbly beseech you to return your heart and soul to the party for a better Ghana agenda. Thank you very much.
