My mouth dropped, and my legs wobbled. I looked around to see if others were feeling the same, and Marcus Brutus was shocked and couldn’t have a word to describe him. It’s true, no one can teach an old dog, new tricks. Napo, this apology will not wash “You go explain, taya”
Be careful who the NPP brands to you as a saint, or as the best. They did same with Nana and Bawumia. Napo has a lot of similarities with Nana. Their weaknesses are clear and known, yet they believe they can be rebranded and sold.
How can a naturally disrespectful and arrogant person be branded and sold? They succeeded with Nana, and they believe they can be second time lucky, with Napo and Bawumia. Very soon, Napo will start eating in peoples’ homes, carrying kids on his laps, sitting in trotro, cleaning streets like Nana did when he was seeking votes. Later, he will tell you he is a royal from Apagyafie, so you must lie on the floor before greeting him.
How can Napo be rebranded with his tribalistic traits? Just like Nana, who was rebranded from his “yen Akanfour” statement, Napo will struggle to do the same. After saying, “If we get 80% of Ashanti votes, we don’t care what happens in other regions. Let’s forget everyone and ensure that every Ashanti gets a T-shirt and we are good to go.” No wonder there is no development in Ashanti. What will he tell people outside his region when he starts his tour. Lest I forget, why is Napo trying as much as possible to disassociate himself from his mother’s clan. I thought Akans were matrilineal? Or his mum is from an inferior tribe somewhere.
Napo, we were told, is both an Anglican and a Charismatic Christian. None of these sects are pro- LGBTQ+. So where does his choices and faith clash, especially when he goes for first service at the Anglican Church, and goes for second service at a Charismatic Church. 3ny3 wanwan? See his efforts in the introduction of the “our world, our people” in our children’s educational curriculum.
Senior Napo, you have a lot of work to do. If you can goof on your first day and with your first statement, then I can only wish you well. If you apologise on your happy day, I wonder what people will expect on your low moments.
Anyway, my Dumsor timetable is ready. Where do I take it now that you are enjoying a more responsible position.
Let me again appeal to all right-thinking Ghanaians not to give up. keep hope alive. There are better days ahead.
