All of a sudden NDC activists, we mean the big ones holding government appointments and others in that category are showcasing a new posturing.
One of the party’s activists who stood tall in the lying charge was Sam George. He discharged this dirty duty with an unquestionable passion.
Having been rewarded with a juicy appointment he can now turn round to speak with such hubris that we can only console ourselves with the fact that ‘time indeed will tell’.
No condition is permanent and so as he and his government live out their tenure it is our hope that others outside that ring in the industry of politics are learning important lessons in good conduct and acceptable posturing.
It is also our hope that future office holders will learn to resist the trappings of high office when Ghanaians give them the nod.
Power indeed triggers hubris in many…it makes them soon forget the fatigue they endured while on the cocoa farms and galamsey sites lying about what they would do differently. Today the records are there for all to see.
And when social media activists play back these they are met with characteristic insulting innuendos.
Sam George powered by the glitters of his new office has responded insultingly to his social media critics when they played back his propaganda.
He did not deny the playbacks but rather acquiesced to them pointing out they are proof of the hard work he put up to get Ghanaians to vote for the NDC. Hard work here is reference to the lies he heaped upon the former President and his government.
According to him by implication ‘to hell with all those who are digging out his propaganda operations between 2017 and 2024 and posting same on social media.’
While not expressing remorse for the lies his arrogance showed no sign of abating as he said that ‘the posts do not move me.’ Why should it when he is holding a juicy appointment and lacks the quality of humility.
At the end of a successful propaganda mission, one which succeeds in swaying votes to the side of the NDC such a consideration by the Commander-In-Chief is not out of order.
Change is a constant phenomenon of life and would come by all means as it did for previous governments and personalities from Kwame Nkrumah to successive office holders and their political parties.
Perhaps the lowest he went is when he described the social media activists’ concerns as ‘noise’.
As though by design Xavier Sosu NDC MP for Madina has also described tiktokers’ concern about employment as noise. He too has forgotten yesterday and is relishing the glitters of today. Xavier Sosu earned a profane shout out from an angry Ga youth after hearing his recommendation that unemployed youth consider Indomie entrepreneurship and stop the noise on social media.
As for Rashid Pelpuo, the Employment Minister when unemployed disabled persons called on him about their employment status all he said was that his department deals only with labour disputes and not provision of jobs.
For a man who once said that unemployed youth can cut grass and same to animal rearer his reaction was unsurprising anyway.
