PLOT TO DISGRACE MAHAMA ACTIVATED -Appointees, Family & Friends targeted

Having succeeded in using half-truths and sometimes outright lies to bait Ghanaians into voting out his government, the governing New Patriotic Party has activated another devious tactics aimed at painting President John Mahama and his administration as the worse thing to ever happen in Ghana.

Headlining these crude political antics is an elaborate scheme by the Akufo-Addo government to use the power of state machinery, the media and other assigns to desecrate and denigrate ex-President Mahama, his immediate family, appointees and his supposed friends.

Leading this latest attempt to smear Mr Mahama is no less a person than President Akufo-Addo himself who threw all courtesies to the wind and launched an unrestrained onslaught on the ex-president’s record in office during his maiden State of the Nation Address.
The President’s attacks on Mr Mahama’s record without acknowledging the ‘good works’ he has been bequeathed came days after the two Ghanaian statesmen at the inauguration of Gambia’s newly elected President, Mr Adama Barrow; ceremoniously embraced each other before the cameras to the admiration of all.
Whilst many heaped praises on the two and predicted that, that was a sign of cordial relationship between President Akufo-Addo and Mr Mahama, little did those who held this view knew the President had planned to start vile campaign against the former President and his administration.
Aside setting up Mr Mahama for public ridicule that he wanted to purchase his official residence, President Akufo-Addo and his henchmen in government also tried to accuse officials of the previous administration of stealing 200 government vehicles.
When former deputy Chief of Staff, Mr Jonny Osei Kofi, exposed them with documentary evidence, the Akufo-Addo government resorted to using officials of National Security and NPP vigilante group, Invincible Forces, to terrorize NDC members in the name of retrieving missing government vehicles.
The government has so far been embarrassed as it ended up apologizing to persons whose vehicles have been forcefully seized, and in some instances, NPP activists who led such illegal ‘operations’ have been sued.
With all these antics failing, the Akufo-Addo administration has resorted to using the Economic and Organize Crime Office (EOCO) to go after some officials of the Mahama government in a desperate move to get them implicated and eventually jailed for corruption.
To sustain his negative tag of the Mahama government, President Akufo-Addo in his first State of the Nation Address painted a “gloomy future” he says the previous administration had left behind.
Deliberately ignoring the unmatched infrastructural achievements of the outgone NDC government and the seemingly impressive economic fundamentals, President Akufo-Addo chose to only highlight the shortfalls of the Mahama administration.
While it is on record that, it was the Mahama government that negotiated a 125 million Canadian dollars facility to support government’s initiative of increasing agricultural output and reduce food prices, President Akufo-Addo failed to acknowledge his predecessor’s efforts in initiating and securing funding for the project expected to kick-start this year.
President Nana Akufo Addo in his maiden State of the Nation Address to Parliament last week disclosed that: “An amount of 125 million Canadian dollars has been secured from Canada a friend of our nation to support the initiative. This will be anchored on the pillars that will transform agriculture, the provision of improved seeds, supply of fertilizers and the use of e-agriculture.”
But in a sharp rebuttal, Minister of Food and Agriculture in the immediate past government, Alhaji Mohammed Muniru Limuna, told the media “there is no way a new government will resume office in six weeks” and contract a loan without the donor country doing due diligence before giving out the funds adding, he expects the Canadian High Commission to react to the President’s statement.
He added that “since 2013 the government of Canada began discussions with the Mahama government of Ghana on the next budget support program which was to be designed. And we went through a number of tasks to be able to come out with this.”
The Akufo-Addo government is also alleged to have deliberately created an artificial power rationing popularly known as dumsor, to rubbish Mr Mahama’s investment in the energy sector and claims; he had fix the debilitating power crisis.
Perhaps, President Akufo-Addo was setting the tone for full rollout of this plot when he stated in his SONA address that Mr Mahama handed over to him an energy sector saddled with huge debt without acknowledging investments his predecessor made in the energy sector which has resulted in installed generation of over 3500MW against peak demand of 2000MW.
Government spokesperson, so-called neutral Civil Society Groups and Journalists have since been assigned to blame the ongoing power outages on the Mahama government. Vice President of IMANI Ghana, Mr Kofi Bentil amplified government’s inordinate propaganda to obliterate Mr Mahama’s record when he said the energy sector was put on steroids in the last quarter of 2016 to give a semblance of a crisis that has been solved.

This, The aL-hAJJ’s intelligence has gathered, was deliberately done to paint the Mahama government in dark colors and set the former President up for attacks even after exiting and handing over power in one of the problem-free transitions on the African continent.
Ironically, some influential members of the NDC have joined hands with President Akufo-Addo and his NPP to hound Mr Mahama even after working clandestinely to get him kicked out of office after serving just a term.
Relentless in its effort to disgrace the former President and his family, the seat of government was alleged to have engineered a false publication that President Mahama’s younger brother and Chief Executive of Engineers and Planners, Mr Ibrahim Mahama and one Ali Seidu, were being investigated by EOCO over alleged corrupt deals at COCOBOD.
The aL-hAJJ is reliably informed that in the coming days EOCO will extend invitation to past government officials and persons deemed to be close associates of Mr Mahama including his wife, Mrs Lordina Mahama over alleged corrupt charges in an attempt to disgrace the former first family.

Predictions of a Lady Journalist
“AKUFO ADDO
WILL FAIL
UNLESS…”

Morning Show Host of First Digital Tv, Miss Annie Ampofo, is forecasting doom for the Akufo-Addo government if the President pays lip service to the development of a single national identification system he has so much promised the nation.
According to the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration graduate, the Akufo Addo government’s promises, policies and programs in the yet-to-be presented budget will come to naught without accurate data.
In an open letter to President Akufo-Addo after his maiden state of the nation address, the TV screen goddess implored the president to prioritize the development of accurate data through the issuance of single Identification card to drive policies.
While acknowledging the enormous strides Ghana Statistical Service has made in gathering data, Miss Annie Ampofo said the president may end up working with inaccurate data if he shies away from the data policy promised.
Read below the whole article…

Dear Mr. President,
YOU WILL ‘FAIL’ WITHOUT A NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION DATA
Kindly spare me some few minutes from your busy schedule to discuss the 2017 SONA you presented which is indeed your first as a President. Do well to reply me as citizen and not a spectator Mr. President.
NB/ I know the Ghana Statistical Service has tried.
There is no doubt that everyone expected your Excellency to touch on issues ranging from:
Free SHS, Energy and Power, Economic conditions/Business Boom, Tax, Employment, ‘Galamsey’, Security, Creative Industry waiting for their Deputy Minister, how to bring the black Stars back on track, Sanitation, Accommodation et al.
Mr. President,
‘A national identification number, national identity number, or national insurance number is used by the governments of many countries as a means of tracking their citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents for the purposes of work, taxation, government benefits, health care, and other governmentally-related functions. The number appears on identity documents issued by several of the countries’.
AND IT IS THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS- Meaning it is indeed a sure way to lead Ghana to the promise land without forgetting the National Development Plan.
Your Excellency,
1. You indicated the minority had a problem with the facts. Well Sir, I tell you that this you said is fact because there is no data to even track down perpetrators- ”Wrongdoing has no political
colour, and I do not subscribe to the lawlessness of political party supporters simply because their party has been elected into office”.
Unless you tell me you have the data but decided to turn a blind eye to it and in fact it is not enough to just condemn the act.- Data
2…… “and that nothing is left on autopilot… Mr. President, Data.
3. “Mr. Speaker, I say nothing new or dramatic, when I tell this Honorable House that the economy of our country is in a bad way”.
Really Mr. President? Your Ministerial Nominees, both Senior and Finance both told the same honorable house that the economic indications are good.- Fact is, either we collecting confused Data or we are being misled.
4…”Mr. Speaker, at the same time, revenue performance for the year was poor. The total revenue target for our country was GH¢37.9 billion (22.7% of GDP), but the actual revenue came in at GH¢33.2 billion (19.9% of GDP)”… Mr. President, yes indeed you may be right but is this the true State of the Nation???- Data
5. Ghana’s total revenue is consumed by three main budgetary lines: wages and salaries, interest payments and amortization and statutory payments. These three items alone account for 99.6% of government revenue. For lack of proper data we struggle to even expunge ‘ghost names’- Data, Mr. President.
6. “A National Campaign, “PLANTING FOR FOOD AND JOBS”, will be launched to stimulate this activity”- Data.
7. Free SHS, how many dilapidated school buildings and what will be our total cost?- Data
8. Boost Employment- Mr. President Data
9. “implementation of the initiative, through public-private partnerships, to establish at least one industrial enterprise in each of the 216 Districts in the “One District, One Factory” policy.- Data. You are giving data of about 80% and more of electricity coverage (Generational Capacity) but really, how many households …
10.”I was elected to get things done. I was elected to fix what is broken and my government and I are determined to do just that. At the beginning of March, the Minister for Finance will come to this House to lay out in the national budget the details of our economic policy and the clear roadmap that we have laid out for taking the country out of its current predicament and onto a sustainable path of recovery, jobs creation and prosperity. I am absolute in my confidence that we have the programme, the competence, the commitment, and the goodwill of the people to turn things around. By the Grace of God, we will succeed and I believe this House knows it too”.
Mr President, without being a prophet of doom, the budget to be presented by the Finance Minister next month will be a broken record based on the same inaccurate data of this beautiful nation.
Mr. President, Your Excellency, I know I have given you a fair picture of what you are faced with. Kindly do Ghana the honors to restore hope with this single “Accurate Data Policy” and you will reap enormous results.
Don’t hesitate to respond your Excellency and thank you for your kind attention.
Your Grand-daughter
