It is truly disheartening that the devil we once knew is now being hailed as an angel, simply because of a few shortcomings in the previous NPP administration led by President Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
But let us be clear and unapologetic: no government in our Fourth Republic has been more responsive to the needs of ordinary Ghanaians than the NPP.
Every meaningful social intervention—Free SHS, NHIS, the Youth Employment Agency, Metro Mass Transit, Free Maternal Care, DRIP, to name but a few—was boldly implemented under NPP leadership.
Contrast this with the bleak and painful era under John Mahama. His administration subjected Ghanaians to untold hardship: crippling power outages, a stagnating economy, soaring cost of living, and a clear disregard for the welfare of citizens.
Teacher and nursing trainees were abandoned, left hopeless—mere collateral damage under Mahama’s regime of indifference.
This is the same man who unabashedly likened himself to a “dead goat,” openly declaring his apathy towards public sentiment and suffering. Such arrogance must never be forgotten.
And yet today, Mahama is somehow seen as a redeemer. Every reckless decision he makes is met with silence and applause.
He has terminated the appointments of over 5,000 legitimately recruited public servants, dismissed all Army Chiefs not nearing retirement, and removed the leadership of key security agencies—all without accountability. And still, Ghanaians remain silent.
He has politicised the office of the Attorney General, directing the discontinuation of civil and criminal cases involving individuals affiliated with the NDC.
Meanwhile, illegal mining (galamsey) and its devastating impact have intensified—yet once again, there is hardly a whisper of concern.
What truly breaks the camel’s back is the revelation from Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, a respected Member of Parliament.
As Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, he informed the nation that an aircraft allegedly involved in international cocaine trafficking was permitted to land and depart from our soil under the current regime. And still, Ghanaians remain silent.
How ironic that in this same Ghana, ordinary citizens are imprisoned for possessing small quantities of marijuana, yet the government turns a blind eye while being implicated in high-level narcotics operations.
Enough is enough. The youth of this nation stand resolutely with Rev. Ntim Fordjour. We demand full disclosure, accountability, and justice. The silence must end. The hypocrisy must stop. The time to act is now.
