My heart is filled with lyrics and sayings.
Which one should I share first? However, one must sacrifice, which is why "The elephant is a winning symbol, it will take us to win power aaa."
If I am not mistaken, this was President Akufo-first Addo's public performance of the song. It happened at the Accra Sports Stadium during the past weekend during the NPP's 2022 Delegates Conference. Also, I enjoyed it.
Such a lovely tune. The most recent song, like the one written by Daddy Lumba that gave Nana Addo strength, is so melodic that once you listen to it, it never leaves your ears.
The elephant, however, has really come to be seen by some NPP members as an unappreciative emblem, not only one of defeat. The group that may be feeling this way right now is led by Mr. John Boadu. He was defeated in his attempt to keep his position as the writer by a supposedly underdog with the well-known initials JFK (Justin Frimpong Kodua). In these situations, the pain is typically not from the loss but from the person who caused it. Chai!
This takes me to Daddy Lumba's song, which I will just briefly copy here. It begins, "...oy3 winner aaa...
Here are some quotations.
The adage "power transforms people" found significance thanks to John Boadu. - Winston Amoah, quoted in "I Am Happy When People Lose Power" (I Am Happy When People Lose Power Emphasizes That Power Belongs to the People). The delegates could distinguish between the John Boadu who was in power today and the John Boadu who drove a Mahindra, according to Raymond Acquah.
My familiar John Boadu
I have a distant acquaintance with John Boadu, also known as "JB." At Holy Trinity Cathedral in Accra, we crossed paths but did not really meet more than twenty years ago. He was frequently observed hanging out with the lads at Easter Monday picnics.
I continued to watch him when I was working at Radio Gold 90.5FM. He appeared to be quite composed and approachable from a distance. He never displayed the boisterous behaviour that is typical of most powerful politicians, in my opinion. I suppose this was the case because he was then only one of several significant NPP members.
His name gained notoriety under the previous Kufuor government, and once he was appointed National Organiser of the Party, it became a household name.
He seems to have left the home and gone to the table of men—the Cabinet—when he took on the acting and then formal General Secretary roles.
He seemed to have left his kind and personable nature behind when travelling to the NPP headquarters and the Jubilee House, based on recent occurrences. He started using aggressive language, sometimes even asking his political rivals insulting questions.
He now has to take the same path back to his Kasoa home. Unfortunately, he will run across the same individuals he saw while rising to the top of the NPP hierarchy when he returns. Will he get the chance to greet them? Obviously, he must. But I'm willing to wager that the reception to this gesture will be casual.
A factual remark about Fear Delegates
The late Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, aka Sir John, coined the now-famous political adage, "fear delegate, not ghosts," in a situation similar to that of JB. The phrase "fear humans, not ghosts" is a well-known Ghanaian proverb that has been plainly corrupted. (Suro Nipa gyae saman)
The cutoff date was 2014. Tamale hosted the National Delegates Conference. Sir John was standing up for his job as the NPP's general secretary. Kwabena Agyepong was his biggest rival. He was defeated.
According to www.Ghanaweb.com, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) may have had a successful Delegates' Conference in Tamale due to the weekend election of a new team to manage the party's activities.
In response to his tragic loss in Tamale, Sir John said on the radio that delegates were the only evil beings left on earth after death, adding, "Fear delegates, not ghosts."
The same thing happened to JB in his attempt to keep his General Secretary (GS) position eight years later. The same thing happened to JB in his attempt to keep his General Secretary (GS) position eight years later. The presence of karma in this situation is what makes it intriguing. I say this because when Kwabena Agyapong was fired over claims that he had worked against the interests of the NPP in the run-up to the 2016 general elections, JB readily accepted the role of acting general secretary.
Based on the recommendations of the party's Disciplinary Committee, the National Executive Committee of the NPP suspended Mr. Agyapong on December 10, 2015. A few NPP members petitioned for the suspension, and it was granted.
Along with the previous chairman, Paul Afoko, and second vice chairman, Sammy Crabbe, Mr. Agyapong was dismissed indefinitely.
John Boadu "chopped" the post while they were away, ostensibly having no idea that his political fortunes would take such a drastic turn. He aspired after experiencing the influence the GS post had, and in 2018, with the help of his supporters, he was chosen to serve as the actual General Secretary.
