We were all aware they would not win, of course who could bet his last pesewa that People’s National Convention (PNC) would win the 2012 general elections? Unless you have no idea of the trend of Ghanaian politics that is when you can confidently prophecy PNC win.
Despite their battle for 1.7% of votes, the PNC worsened their loss by presenting the maiden comedian in Ghanaian politics, Hassan Ayariga. If not for the IEA Presidential debate, most Ghanaians were blank on the clown politician who tickled the nation with his ‘shaking-my-head’ answers.
I know how the executives of PNC felt when they were watching their leader confidently and stylishly disgracing the party. No political party would come out loud to speak of their disgust for a flagbearer but all they could wish and pray for is the hurriedness of the months for primaries and strategically tell him ‘GO AWAY’
My nephew, Nana Kofi, 9 years and a brilliant class 4 pupil answered “kai” (expressing disgust in Fante) whenever I asked him if he would have voted for Ayariga if he was an electorate. As young as he was, his instinct alerted him of what kind of President he would have garnished his future with if he had the thumb power.
Though Ghanaians would enjoy him on TV as he displays his ‘unpreparedness’, less than 40 people would vote for him (including his extended family) to preside over this nation. Just like popular people who are known on campuses for deviance never get the nod to Class Prefect a class or Compound Prefect a school, the same way Hassan Ayariga has presented himself to the country.
To every action, there is a consequence and every action either opens doors at one end or closes another at the other side.
Every Ghanaian is aware it would take the picture of Jesus Christ beside the coconut on a ballot sheet for PNC to win election; they should not tint the 1.7% appeal of Ghanaians with Hassan Ayariga. The Peace Seminar organized by Otumfour at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) for all flagbearers to preach peace clearly buttressed Ayariga’s ‘funny face’ nature.
By now, all the Political Parties which did not win the general elections are having post mortem of their loss. PNC, consider the head before any part of the system. You made the whole of Ghana giggle, even those who hardly know what debate means. Thank you for that but analyse the presidential candidate you will present in 2016.
The “New Crusading Guide” editor, who was contributing to a panel discussion on the performance of the four presidential candidates at Tuesday’s function, said on Peace FM’s morning show ‘Kokrokoo’ that he felt really uncomfortable for the wife of the PNC flagbearer, particular when the audience occasionally mocked at some of his responses.
Mrs Anita Ayariga, at night when you are about to sleep, put on that ‘Far Away’ powder, and wear that sleek night gown, the one which reveals your alluring skin and when Ayariga comes to join you in bed, carefully pass your hand over his scanty hair and in a low tone, the voice similar to the day you accepted his proposal tell him “darling, abandon this presidential ambition, in my heart, you are the president and in my heart too you won the election. Unless you put me second to anything you will do, please let us live our respectable life and concentrate more on our 3 daughters and 2 sons. You know our businesses; Hallo Pizza and Clean Us Ghana need us more. I love you Hon Ayariya, good night”
THIS IS AN UGLY TRUTH!
