I DO NOT HAVE CLEARANCE
And when finally we met at the gargantuan Adabraka office to deliberate on ways of communicating to the electorate and Ghanaians, it turned out that victors and some of their supporters wanted to use the occasion to tease losers and their supporters. A move I consider still as unnecessary and uncalled for, in view of the circumstances under which some won and others lost. As was expected by many, I protested but the powers that be had their way and got a few to tell the untrue side of the stories.
I was expected to be the first speaker on this wrong item at this great gathering. Calmly, I heard myself saying, 'I do not have clearance to speak on any issue' People agreed to this freshly acquired mature stand acquired from the versatile politician and leader; Cat killer, Terminator and Wayoo Wayo. At any point in politics, one is bound to carry himself as a hero until there is opportunity to interact with a more senior, experienced and performing politician like Dr. Kwabena Adjei. Though he lost the election, I personally and believe same with my other team members have no regrets at all being part of his campaign. It was a schooling experience in politics.
Internal party issues are suppose to be kept internal and nothing more or less. This very good lesson bars me from stating the nitty gritty of the KUmasi Congress. All that can be said is that, the defeat was bad base on the crooked turf on which the competition was organized. The man Wayo, from where I sit is too strong and fit for his age. He has shown that on any day, he can compete and sail through, all things being equal.
I do not intend to write much but I cannot end without commending his respect for basic principles of life and adoration of truth at all times even at the peril of his life and position. As he puts it, "I am putting my truth barometer before you for anybody to challenge it" Unfortunately, I guess this congress was not about truth and principles that established our party but about bread and butter. Provision of fish and not lessons on fishery. Lest I forget this one too, "I do not need to be a Chairman to complete the rest of my life at 72 Years but I want to be Chairman to end what I have started in the NDC" My humble understanding is that, he will survive in strength and good health after Kumasi 2014.
Once I have clearance, or I get some bread and butter, I will link up with you and let you in on the murkier side of the events before, during and after congress.

KILLING THE KILLER OR SUICIDE 1
I greet you once again my people of Biakoye constituency/District, especially the NDC family. This is another opportunity to set agenda for rumour mongers and mis-interpreters who ply their trade out of malice or clear ineptitude. Just remembered Mr. Francis Ontoyin. I do NOT want to be seen as one of those rumour mongers though. My only intent is to attempt to analyse the preparation, organization, conduct and outcome of the 23/08/2014 NDC conference held at Worawora.
I must admit that some of the results were shocking while others were very obvious. I was personally heart broken by the results from two positions. Though the defeat of Simon Twumasi was much expected because of the myriad of allegations, accusations and insults to which he resolved not to respond to, it was not out of place for the delegates to associate him with the errs smeared on him. I expected the delegates to have voted for him to vindicate him because i know he is a good man. The performance of Alhaji was not surprising though painful. Agbeko Emmanuel was not my favourite but I must admit he put in a lot of efforts some of which may spell doom for the party and constituency towards 2016. I wish my NEW Chairman well in his administration.
After stepping down as a branch chairman about a year ago out of fear of defeat, I least expected my own Brother Cephas to contest as a Constituency Vice Chairman, but politicians as we are, do not fear defeat. Ameglah was meant to become the Vice Chairman considering the massive support from the youth. Special thanks to Boosey his campaign coordinator at Kwamekrom.
Iknow you are waiting for the Secretaryship but hold it. I will tell you about that in another piece likely to be Part 2. Moro himself knew he was not on the ground. He has always been a good friend but not a supporter. The most painful defeat by all standards is that of Nartey. He is a hard worker who put his all into his campaign but as usual some killer killed the innocent hard worker for Akpalu. I pray Akpalu comes with a clean hand and mind to do decent politics for the good of Biakoye. I wish him well.
Let me end this first part by touching on the victory of Aniewu over Nicho and Gyan. Gyan has been in for long and should have understood that the YES programme pegged the age of youth at 35 years. Seke just as Kwame is hard working but Kwame beat him with just a vote. May he succeed.
At vetting, Aniewu and Nartey were nearly disqualified kind courtesy the mind opf god. The deceptive campaign with Nartey, the blurred fotos and the vile messages all contributed to his loss. In the face of all the accusations, that single vote gave Kwame victory. I know you are asking about 'the mind of god' May be in Part 3, I will explain.
I can understand the losers because I have lost before. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. Eye zu, Eye za.

IT IS THAT TIME AGAIN mach8860
December 29, 2010 will forever remain indelible on my mind in my political life. It all started from December 23, 2010 when I arrived at my constituency to help with preparation towards the District Assembly election . The stakes were very high and I knew very well the possible outcomes but I had to make a choice for or against the state.
A decision for the state was suicidal and against was homicidal. I chose to sacrifice my head for the state but made sure I caused no harm to the people I was fighting for. Just as I expected, it was a disaster.
The evil one had a diabolic plan which he skillfully executed against an innocent and very inexperienced patriot. IT IS A LESSON; I know . Experience is a great teacher. My headache from the episode is the bad blood sown and thriving between a section of my clansmen and me. At no point did they know nor considered me as a traitor until that bitter episode. One day, the TRUTH will be told by the liar, hoping it will not be too late.
It is that political season again; innocent souls are at their mercies again. They dream in the morning, afternoon, evening, night and dawn. Their dreams are meant for your good and not theirs. All of a sudden, people you have lived with for over 30 years begin to see you in their dreams and it always will require the intervention of a man of God or god. A refusal will always result in a temporary or permanent divorce leading to enmity.
Alignment and re-alignment of camps is expected. Experience has shown that there will be a lot of talking about people and things. Politics is interesting especially to the by-stander. Some have made it ugly and unattractive to the decent minded for their selfish gains, but the decent have tried and are still trying to keep it clean for the youth to join. Politics, no matter how decent is not for the feeble heart, nor is it for the timid. It is for the smart, decent and considerate.
In course of the ongoing National Democratic Congress (NDC) restructuring, I will entreat aggrieved youth of Biakoye to stay calm in the face of negative scheming started from the Branch elections especially within Tapa. A hard and satisfactory worker needs no brute to be retained. Which ever way things are put, the people of Biakoye will have to make a decision that will be with them for the next 4 years. There will be no need for anyone to come back to express regret. The decision time is NOW!!!
October 23 2014 at Worawora should start that history of making Biakoye NDC peaceful, united and attractive. If you are a delegate, prepare your mind to united Biakoye NDC and if you are not, adopt a delegate and preach the message before they come with their usual booty. We cannot afford to destroy our youth before doomsday. Your time to act is NOW!!!
Whiles thinking of our party, do not also forget our communities. Very soon, there will be District Assembly elections in our electoral areas, please remember to vote for progress, development and unity. Eschew pettiness and think of your community, the youth, women and children.
Well, reading can sometimes be boring so let me allow you to rest as this is our first after that long break. Before, I forget, remember their tricks, dreams, direction and tactics NEVER change. GOOD NIGHT!
