Life is a drama full of tragedy and comedy. One can learn to enjoy the comic episodes of others but be warned; do not dare do so at the expense of an ex-military officer. Known for singing passionately to solicit votes from potential electorates, Captain Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey has descended heavily on individuals who have tagged him as a �political comedian�. Effah-Dartey (rtd), who is aspiring for the position of General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) insists anyone who believes or calls him a comedian must be insane. �Anyone with that mindset is not serious and has a problem mentally. When anyone calls me a political comedian, meaning that I haven�t made any mark in politics...that is wrong,� he said on Adom Fm. The �Ma Twen Awurade Anim� (I�ve waited upon the Lord) crooner however pointed out that his proclivity to sing during campaign times has won him several ballots. �During NPP�s internal election, I won with 12, 000 majority in Berekum. And at every rally at Berekum that I sang �Ma Twen Awuraade Anim��I won massively. In 2004, I won 19,000 of the majority in Berekum. So if anyone calls me a political comedian, then that person envies my success in politics�and it�s a negative, uninformed and unwise statement,� he added.
