Ablekuma West MP, Mrs Ursula Ekuful, (formerly Ursula Owusu)

Sir John, Ursula to star in 'Mahama P-a-a-a-a-a-r-t One'
A presidential staffer Dr Clement Apaak has
suggested the first year in office of the John
Mahama-led administration could be turned into a
Hollywood movie.

Apaak is proposing New Patriotic Party General
Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, aka Sir John and
Ablekuma West MP, Mrs Ursula Ekuful, (formerly
Ursula Owusu) as part of the likely cast, and he
has even defined their roles in the yet to be
scripted movie.

Sir John could feature on an episode that talks
about the challenges in the energy sector in the
past year that saw the nation plunge into power
rationing popularly called ‘dumsƆ
dumsƆ’ and play the role of a courtier who
will greet “Me ma mo dumsƆ oo” and
respond “Yaa Mahama.”

“And then when we even talk about the electoral
petition, the likes of Ursula Owusu who called the
President a thief and Sir John who never ceases to
berate the President at almost every point and
even trying to accuse the president of being
involved in what occurred to Bawumia and all of
that, all of those are very important components
of the movie and we can expect that you will have
to get people to play all of these characters,”
he told Asempa FM on its ‘Ekosii Sen’
programme.

He was speaking via phone from Tamale where the
president was inaugurating the completion of work
on phase one of the Tamale Teaching Hospital
project and to commission the phase two of it,
saying in spite of the many, many challenges the
president had to grapple with, it is such
development projects that give him (Apaak) the
impetus to call for the president to be
celebrated.

The President was also to commission a water
treatment project at Bunkpurugu, he said.

He said the NPP was craving attention “largely
because it is a party currently in crisis with the
possibility of an implosion and the NPP is fully
aware that the only way that it can continue to
maintain its relevance and to keep attention on it
is by trying to bastardize and minimize the good
work that the president has done in spite of all
the difficulties that he has to go through.”

He said most of the difficulties were
“orchestrated, promoted, enhanced, and
facilitated by the NPP.”

“Don’t you think that it is rather surprising
that a group which denied the legitimacy of this
president for a whole eight, nine months now have
the audacity to assess him for one year in office?
As many commentators have said, if the NPP wants
to be honest with themselves and the good people
of Ghana, it should start assessing John Mahama
after the 29th of August, 2013.

If they do that then we would know that they are a
serious group of people who act and function based
on principle, because as far as the NPP is
concerned, and as far as many Ghanaians are
concerned, the NPP never accepted the legitimacy
of the president up until the Supreme Court passed
its verdict. So on what moral basis do they have
to go and organize a forum to assess the president
that they only recognised after the 29th of
August, 2013?"
