Otumfuo Endorses Bawumia Presidential Bid?
The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu appears to have endorsed Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the next President of Ghana. In a tribute that seems like proverbs by the overlord of the Asante Kingdom sighted by DGN Online to the late mother of the Vice President, Otumfuo expressed worry over the late mother’s death which she should have been alive to see the future of Dr. Bawumia. Even though it hasn’t been official but the Vice President as gathered is lacing his boots to contest the upcoming Presidential primary of the ruling New Patriotic Party with other members of the party. The tribute on page 12 reads “How sad that she will not be around to see what the future holds for her son”, adding that “but indeed the matriarch can depart in response to the call of her creator in the knowledge that she has impacted upon her nation as few ever would in their lives and above all, that the nation will continue to enjoy the fruits of her endeavors long many generations to come”. On Sunday, Walewale in the North East Region has been thrown into a state of mourning following the death of Vice President Dr Bawumia‘s mother, Hajia Mariama Bawumia. The final funeral rites, which are currently underway in the town, attracted a mammoth crowd from far and near to pay their last respects. President Akufo-Addo and the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osmanu Shaributu, among other dignitaries from all walks of life were present. Also, the Asantehene represented by some prominent chiefs in his kingdom is legal to mourn with the Vice President. The Asantehene, in his tribute to the mother of Vice President, Dr . Mahamudu Bawumia noted that “As we idolize and eulogize great men and great leaders, we so often fail to acknowledge the role of the faithful woman behind the molding of their mettle”. The Asante Monarch noted that “But truly it is that behind every great man is the hand and the heart of a faithful and devoted woman”. “And to a few women that go even greater honor of becoming the matriarch Irom who’s bosom dynasties grow and flourish”. The tribute continues that “On that roll of honor belongs Hajia Mariama Bawumia. She not only was the steady heart behind one of the titans of politics in the North during the most tumultuous periods of Ghana’s history but her guidance and tutelage have also produced a family whose impact on Ghanaian politics will be felt for generations”. “The seventh of eight children, Mariama was a bright and talented young girl who embraced education and worked hard from the LA Pnmary School in ner hometown, proceeded to the Tamale Middle School from where she successfully passed her common entrance to gain admission to the prestigious Wesley Girls High School on the eve of Ghana’s independence in 1957”. He said “Mariama married one of the most prodigious politicians to emerge from the North, Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia, an indefatigable politician, lawyer, rigorous parliamentary chairman of the Ghana Cocoa Marketing Board and later Chairman of the Council of State”. Also “Mariama was not only the source of undying support and sustenance behind the husband but her guidance and tutelage have also produced a son who today occupies the second-highest position in the land, Dr. Mahmudu Bawumia, Vice President of the Republic”. “She will forever be in our debt. Rest in perfect peace” the Asante King indicated. —Daily Guide

We Need the Expenditure for Mahama’s Thank-Your Tour
I was about to prepare this column for publication when the Ghanaweb.com news report captioned “Kweku Baako ‘Sets the Records Straight’ on Aflao E-Block” (10/24/21) hit the banner news headlines. Which is all well and good because the report, contrary to what his most inveterate and ardent critics would have the general Ghanaian public believe, it is rather former President John “Akonfem-Kanazoe” Dramani Mahama, and not President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who has literally been sleeping at the wheel. That the Gonja-born democratically ousted former President, from the Akufo-Addo-created Savannah Region, is inordinately obsessed with being returned to power, so that he can, once again, get the chance to profusely bleed the wantonly exploited Ghanaian taxpayer to the marrow, is evidenced by the fact that nearly a year after his second blow-out defeat by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Mr. Mahama is still hazily and profligately traipsing the country while his neglectfully abandoned projects are deviously and mischievously made the problem of his visionary and progressive successor. Now, what Mr. Abdul-Malik Kweku Baako’s Facebook Wall rejoinder to those rabid Akufo-Addo critics who would have the latter gratuitously saddled with the abjectly gross track-record of the incompetence of his predecessor means is the fact that, once again, Nana Akufo-Addo has proven himself and the political party that he leads, to wit, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), to be absolutely without any coequal on Ghana’s postcolonial political terrain. Even more significantly, Mr. Baako’s Facebook Wall report clearly and eloquently exposes the Paramount Chief of Aflao for being the rabble-rousing pro-NDC charlatan that many of us have come to envisage Torgbui Amenyo Fiti, V, to be for quite a considerable while now. The Editor-Publisher of the New Crusading Guide tells us that, in fact, the so-called Mahama E-Block in Aflao and other parts of the country, which the payola-addicted former President left uncompleted have not been abandoned, after all. Rather, President Akufo-Addo has had to literally squeeze the requisite fiscal resources out of a stone to complete these state-of-the-art school buildings, because the man who commenced the same had apparently not planned to complete them, at least not within the temporal span promised Ghanaian voters and citizens. Now, to cut to the proverbial chase, Mr. Baako tells his audience that the Aflao E-Block is 96-percent completed. We are, however, not informed about the percentage of completion at which the former President had callously and grossly incompetently abandoned the project. But this clearly does not seem to matter or be of any moment or consequence, because the project is almost certain to be completed by the close of the present fiscal year by the Akufo-Addo-led government of the New Patriotic Party. Now, what the preceding clearly tells us is that the Paramount Chief of Aflao raised the issue of the Mahama-commenced E-Block because he may have been paid by the former President to do precisely that. Otherwise, Torgbui Adzongaga Amenyo Fiti, V, may be aptly seen to have been sleeping on his stool or throne and not paying sedulous attention to critical and salutary developments on the ground, as it were, in his own traditional jurisdiction. Which is why unlike Mr. Baako, the Editor-Publisher of the New Crusading Guide, the Aflao Paramount Chief was not even aware of the fact that the Mahama-abandoned E-Block was very far advanced and, in fact, nearing completion. Obviously, Torgbui Amenyo Fiti was far more interested in publicly embarrassing President Akufo-Addo, for whatever such contretemps may be worth, than being interested in the glaringly inescapable fact that “The Little Man from Kyebi” cares far more about the future prosperity of the youths of Aflao than had been demonstrated by Kwame Gonja in the 8 years that the latter and his late boss, President John Evans Atta-Mills, literally ruled the roost. Now, I am also wondering whether the humongous amount of money wastefully being spent on his so-called Thank-You Tour could not have done a far better and more tangible “Thank-You” job, if the seismically trounced Candidate Mahama wisely contributed the same, or at least a sizable portion of the same, to the E-Block Completion Fund at the Dr. Yaw Adutwum-headed Ministry of Education. In the instantaneous age of cyberculture or the global space-bridging Internet, or the Internet Explosion, is there no better and far less fiscally wasteful or cheaper way for a twice roundly rejected Candidate Mahama to express his gratitude to those intelligent and foresighted Ghanaian citizens and voters who mercifully put him out of his thievish misery by showing Kwame Gonja the main exit out of Jubilee House, the Indian Government and Kufuor-constructed Golden Stool Edifice, which this brash and disdainful Bole-Bamboi “skinhead” insists on renaming the Flagstaff House? *Visit my blog at: KwameOkoampaAhoofeJr By Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe, Jr., PhD English Department, SUNY-Nassau Garden City, New York October 24, 2021 E-mail: okoampaahoofekwame@gmail.com Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.

Change Greater Accra to GaDangme Region – Ga Mantse begs Akufo-Addo
Ga Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II has appealed to President Nana Akufo-Addo to assist ongoing efforts to change the name of the Greater Accra Region to GaDangme Region “in order to advance the unification and consolidation of GaDangme and to increase the teaching of the Ga language in schools in the region”. The Ga Mantse made the appeal when he delivered a statement on Friday, 22 October 2021, when President Akufo-Addo paid a courtesy call on him, as part of his working tour of the Greater Accra Region on Friday, 22 October 2021. The chief also applauded the impact of the policies, programmes and development projects undertaken by the government in the Greater Accra Region. “Your Excellency, we are seeing development in Accra”, said the Ga Mantse, adding: “But we encourage you to do more.” According to him, the Ga state “recognises and appreciates the developmental projects being undertaken in the Ga State, for example, the James Town Fishing Harbour and the Salaga Market.” Pursuant to this, “the Chiefs of the Ga State shall collaborate with President at all times to ensure that Accra becomes the cleanest city in Africa. In that regard, all the Chiefs in the Ga State pledge to be ambassadors in promoting the clean Accra Agenda.” Cognisant of the fact that development thrives only in a peaceful environment, he added that “the Ga Traditional Council pledges to maintain peace within the Ga State and to also resolve all chieftaincy disputes within the shortest possible time to facilitate the development of the Ga State and Ghana as a whole.” The Ga Mantse also commended President Akufo-Addo, “for the various social interventions introduced, especially in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the nomination of the first female Mayor of Accra.” He also extended the appreciation of the chiefs of the Ga state for the appointments of Nii Dakutso Otsii I, Member of the Council of State, Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey and Mr Edwin Obodai Provencal, CEO of BOST, who, he described as competent indigenes of the Ga state. The Ga Mantse was confident that the newly confirmed Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) “will work together with the Regional Minister, Local Government Minister and we the traditional leaders to make Accra work again.” —classfm Please contact Apexnewsgh.com on email apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications.
