Even though I wish the president well, I however have a problem with government communicators (present & past) who are always quick to dispel such rumours. Why? If I may ask, are presidents not humans and theretofore may fall sick now and then? Let's trying to stop politicizing almost everything in this country.
NDC is very desperate, making unpleasant and distasteful propaganda. An incompetent political Party often resorts to baseless polemics and propaganda to make political points. In the absence of her ability to produce or formulate good policies, ideas, and programs, that is what the NDC does best. Once upon a time, a very sick President was made to demonstrate physically at the airport, that all was very well with him, in terms of his health conditions, but only for him to pass away a few days later. All these have been on the ticket of the NDC before. That notwithstanding, it's no wonder that that is the trademark of the NDC.
Hmmmm, so the president knows how to visit his sick friends at the hospital but four girls were kidnapped and killed yet he hasn't seen the need to visit. Innocent people were shot at ayawaso wuogon and up till now he hasn't visited the victims. Just about two three weeks ago our northern brothers and sisters were flooded and many deaths were recorded, he never visited. If he really didn't go for treatment but merely visited a sick friend it means he is very very wicked president to Ghanaians. He only has time for his family and friends, so those who say he is forming family and friends government have been vindicated. They are so insecure to the extent that even when the truth is clear they try to make it false.
If your mom is dead and you claim she is still alive and kicking, night is drawing near and when all your friends go home for their lunch, we shall see who will give you lunch. I remember Professor Mills was sent to UK for check up, when he came he was running on the tarmac to prove he was so fit, it was not less than two weeks and he was gone. This make have already started sleeping at almost every function he attends, of course one can say it is old age. The same person keeps fumbling with words. Recently he was saying, God brought NPP to power because God wanted Ghanaians to appreciate the good work of John Mahama when he wanted to say the opposite. He is visibly mentally retarded right now. The earlier you sent him back to UK for treatment the better. We don't want to bury another one. Anyway, my elder brother is ready to take over.
For me, if the president is ill or not is not my problem as anyone can be ill at any time. My beef is that he should not have gone to Nyaho clinic. He should have gone to Korle Bu, Maamobi Polyclinic or even Achimota hospital. We should stop this attitude of elevating our presidents and government to a different level than other in the country. I was not happy when Bawumia was taken to the hospital in London. I will also not be happy if Mahama is ill whilst in government and taken to a private hospital or taken outside for treatment. They are superintendening over these very hospitals they are running away from. If they think they are doing a good job, they should go to these places and not leave it to only us as they are not better than us. Indeed we will have to rise up as a people and demand accountability from our leaders. As i am at it, they should not also take their children to schools outside the country when they are in governemnt.
My Prayer for the president is psalm 35 Contend , O Lord with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and buckler; Arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my Soul you are my salvation; May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruined be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind with the angel of the Lord driving them away; May their path be dark and slippery with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, May ruin overtake them by surprise and may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation.Do not let them think aha just what we wanted or say we have swallowed him up. O Lord you have seen this do not be silent ,O Lord awake and rise to his defence, Contend for him, vindicate him in your righteousness O Lord my God! May the enemies never get peace in JESUS NAME I PRAY!
