P.K. Sarpong, a popular writer for the opposition NPP has asserted that if Obuasi Incident had happened under Akufo-Addo, Festus Aboagye, Kwesi Aning, Adam Bonaa, et al would have slaughtered him.
He made this comment in a post shared on his Facebook page on 22nd January, 2025. He wrote;
“Tragedy hit Obuasi, causing so much heartache and suffering to the many whose relatives perished as a result of the forceful takeover of some mines which belong to AngloGold Ashanti.Â
The turmoil, there is enough evidence to prove, was caused by some members of the ruling NDC who had been promised the mines, and who thought it wise to romance with death as they went toe-to-toe with armed military personnel guarding the mines.Â
Well-meaning Ghanaians are talking about it, the ill-meaning ones have gone completely silent. Some media outlets have taken the matter up whilst others who believe the 8 deaths, if we are to believe this figure, do not matter, have turned their eyes off the scenes in the mining city of Obuasi.Â
More shocking is the absence of some known voices in the media whenever incidents like these occur over the years. The experts, sadly enough, appear to have gone into hibernation.”.
He added that security experts in the shapes of Professor Kwesi Aning, Adam Bonaa, Richard Kumado, Adib Saani and Festus Aboagye, have, all of a sudden, embarked on a trip into space, far away from where radio and television signals can reach ever since Obuasi came into the picture.Â
“These kahunas in the security industry are not clamoring for lengthy radio and television interviews to detail how the crisis came about and who was behind it. One would ask, what is the motivation today for them to come up with their own but skewed versions of what happened?
These conspiracy theorists masquerading as security experts had one common enemy; President Akufo-Addo. In their minds, the enemy of the state, Akufo-Addo, has been retired, and for that matter, nothing incentivizes them to don their security lenses.
Festus Aboagye, Adam Bonaa, Kwesi Aning and the others have also gone on retirement because the man they loved to hate is no more. They saw evil only when Akufo-Addo was president. They now see an angel in power, so criticizing him or his party members would be a taboo.
Under Akufo-Addo, every little incident was interpreted by these ‘world’s acclaimed’ security czars as a total breakdown of security. They would term such an incident as a havoc, maelstrom, anarchy and disorder.Â
Incidents that happened under Akufo-Addo which were far less in terms of gravity and degree earned Akufo-Addo the ‘monster’ accolade, thanks to these same hypocritically pious elements.” He continued.
P.K. Sarpong added that when people died in Techiman after the 2020 elections, these people exaggerated the issue to paint Akufo-Addo black.
Today, Obuasi has been in the news for all the bad reasons, thanks to those hoodlums affiliated to the National Democratic Congress, but Adam Bonaa and co believe peace reigns in Obuasi and that President Mahama is as clean as a snow.Â
Vindication is in the womb of time. President Akufo-Addo will surely be vindicated sooner than later. He was simply crucified for sins he knew nothing about.
