Dear John Mahama,
Akufo-Addo and the PNP did not present an electoral petition in 2012 to “remove all doubt …”
In fact, today, there are still several Ghanaians who still have doubts about the credibility of the 2012 presidential elections and yet they accepted the Supreme Court’s decision in that electoral petition.
Your doubts were not removed by the court! In fact, in such cases, you go to court to cast doubt and hope to take advantage of that.
The NPP went to court at the time because they believed they had enough evidence, which they exhibited, to show that you, John Mahama, did not win in 2012 and that Akufo-Addo won.
The end result was not like that. They did not agree with him but accepted him. No self-respecting leader and no self-respecting party should rise up to put their followers on the streets to burn tires and wreak all manner of havoc, claiming that you have won and you, the defeated candidate, saying the results were “fictitious.” , only to appear in court and say that your mission is to remove all doubts. Amazing!
It is reckless, irresponsible, unpatriotic, and indeed selfish, for any statesman (a former president for that matter) to waste the time of an entire nation and its supreme court simply by hoping to “clear all doubt.”
What doubt? Whose doubt is it? You have no doubt that you lost this election.
You know it! If you doubt you have lost, please solve it at home! Have a drink and drown your sorrows, for what we care about!
But don’t waste our time and desperately raise the hopes of your loyal fans, simply because you have doubts on your mind.
This is so disturbing! We entertain too much trash in this beautiful country of ours.
