The aftermath of this year\u2019s June 4 annual ranting by Ex-President Rawlings has, for the first time since the nonsense began, seen both the NPP and NDC simultaneously spiking the former pilot\u2019s allegations as nothing but hot air and balderdash.<\/p>\n
The bipartisan attack of an albatross hanging around the neck of the nation, which is Rawlings, is symptomatic of a population by and large fatigued over the rehashed allegations of corruption the former Military junta leader has leveled against everybody in Ghana, save his wife and children over the past three decades.<\/p>\n
If after all the bloodletting he caused to uproot the so-called corruption afflicting the country, the canker still persists outside his Ridge residence, it is a subtle admission that he has failed. So why won\u2019t he just put up or shut up?<\/p>\n
History is, by the recent developments, being witnessed on the political plane, closing a chapter on the man who has over the years played angel, dangling his ostensible infallible self as he enjoyed the accolades showered upon him by a frightened and cowed segment of the population.<\/p>\n
Dictators or political narcissists will always live in denial even when the signs are too glaring to be ignored.<\/p>\n
The corruption charges and other offensive labels he has repeatedly smeared on respectable Ghanaians with identifiable traditional homes have now become faded refrains, producing crackling noises as they were played once more in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
Both the NPP and NDC have without any pact signed to battle what is now their common enemy or Ghana\u2019s, are daring \u2018Angel Rawlings\u2019 to prove the corruption charges against his compatriots, as it were, in the two formidable parties.<\/p>\n
Lacing the ranting with weird tales of a landlord\u2019s stolen fowl and a continuous pacification with Schnapps, did not help to make sense of the gibberish ranting.<\/p>\n
When critics isolate a psychiatric challenge in the man who once ruled this country with iron fists, they could be doing so from an evidential standpoint.<\/p>\n
Taking undue advantage of a peace-loving Ghana and insulting the intelligence of her citizenry, Rawlings has reached the end of the road. He has blown away his luck, opening up his underbelly for poisonous reactions which are about to be fired at the vulnerable spot from which he fed Ghanaians with his nonsense.<\/p>\n
For someone whose tenure as head of state was the longest and most inhumane and bloody in the history of the country, the former Air Force pilot who had a charge of treason around his neck, should be the last person to fret about what he considers the corruption of others in this country.<\/p>\n
The countless disappeared persons, the official iniquities, open thievery of state resources under the guise of a so-called revolution, are still fresh in the annals of the country\u2019s political history.<\/p>\n
Poor fellow, the die is cast, and the man who straddled the country like a Colossus, has been reduced to nothingness, the indemnity cover somewhat under threat, as he sings his dirge unknowingly. The beginning of the end indeed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
