New Patriotic Party flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is horoscopically not a Presidential material because none of his names starts with the letter J, a strange prophetic music has hinted. According to the song, which is titled �The Letter J,� President Mills will successfully rule for an eight-year term before Jehovah, who is God Almighty, will decide whether to continue making J-prefixed, named people presidents or break the cycle for Ghana�s Fourth Republic. William Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is scheduled to retire from his pursuits of the presidency if he is unsuccessful in the 2012 Presidential elections. According to the song, whose composer and singer is Michael Adangba, the Fourth Republican political leadership of Ghana easily bridges with the biblical pastimes of God which revolved round people whose names start with the letter J. In the song�s first verse, biblical account is traced to Jehovah, who created the world and later chose Jacob as his faithful Friend. Jacob in turn chooses Joseph as his beloved son. When the devil wanted to test the faith of men, Job was chosen to prove the devil wrong, the song points out. It continues that, when God�s chosen people, the Jews, were journeying to the Promised Land from Egypt, they met the walls of Jericho. Joshua, who was then the leader of the Jews, led them to circle the wall until it collapsed. At the end of the first verse, the chorus goes: �who Jah bless, no one curse, Obia Nyame ehyirano� Nipa ntumi nsei no.� In verse two, the song pointed out that when the Jews came to settle in the Promised Land, they made Jerusalem their capital city. �When Jehovah wanted to dwell among men, he chose Jesus his begotten son,� the song highlights. It continues that Jesus was mysteriously born to Joseph who was a native of Judea. Incidentally, Jesus� brothers were James and John. The Messiah was also baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot. �When all others failed to compile the Bible, only King James, succeeded,� is how the song�s second verse closed. In the third verse, Michael Adangbe traces a strange umbilical cord between Ghana�s Fourth Republic and Jehovah�s J-dominated biblical pastimes, with an emphatic prediction that John Evans Atta mills will successfully have a second term. Starting from the inception of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), Michael Adangba, who engineered the song in his own studio and did all the vocals himself, reminded that, �Not too long ago when there was no justice in this country, Ghana, Jehovah chose Jerry John Rawlings.� Jeremiah John Rawlings successfully staged the defining coup in June. Interestingly, Rawlings was nicknamed Junior Jesus by Ghanaians at the time. Upon his returning the country to democracy, he peacefully handed over to John Agyekum Kufuor in January 2001. John Kufuor had an eight-year term and handed over to John Evans Atta Mills in January 2009. �By God�s grace, John Evans Atta Mills will end his turn successfully,� the song prophesied before it concluded by asking if Jehovah would install another J-named person as President after Ghana�s current J-named President ends his eight year tenure, or change the pattern for Ghana. In an exclusive interview with The Enquirer, Michael Asangba posited that if God chooses to continue with the J-domination of the Presidency, then John Mahama of the NDC could be the next in line. The most proximate J-named person in quest of the Presidency from the NPP is John Alan Kyeremanten. He only gets the opportunity after William Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo contests a second time in 2012.
