He said the next elections in 2024 will be a do-or-die affair, especially at the polling stations.
Speaking on Techiman-based Akina FM’s on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, as part of his thank-you tour, Mr Mahama said “This current president has made elections life and death for him, he uses his Delta forces and invisible forces enrolled in the security agencies.
“You see some Military and police officers and ask whether these are indeed officers. They wear earrings and all sorts of things and you can’t tell whether this is a police officer or a soldier.
“We know they have infiltrated the security with some of their people.
“Look at what happened at Techiman South the ways they shot at the crowd, it was intended to kill people.
“We hope that the next elections we won’t see scenes like that again.
“We have learnt our lessons from happenings during the 2020 polls. The 2024 elections will be won or lost at the polling station. It will be do-or-die at the polling stations. The right thing must be done during the polls. We will win the elections at the polling station and won’t wait for collation centre results nor petition the Supreme Court if aggrieved,” he said.
JOHN MAHAMA IS THE PROPRIETOR OF “CORRUPTION INSTITUTE OFGHANA”; WE’LL MAKE HIM CRY LIKE SIX MONTHS BABY COME 2024 GENERAL ELECTION-NPPYO TOMAHAMA.
The Firebrand New Patriotic Party Youth Organization(NPPYO) has chastised former President John Mahama over his accusations of corruption against the Akuffo Addo administration.
NPPYO has heavily descended on Mahama addressing him as proprietor of ” Corruption Institute of Ghana”(CIG) that rocked him down in the 2016 and 2020 general elections.
NPPYO indicated that Mr.Mahama has no moral justification to talk about corruption, let alone accuse the ruling party of the canker. Naming some alleged corrupt deals under the Mahama administration, NPPYO stated that these deals defined that administration.
“Is Mahama, of Government Official one infancy and the Ford vehicle from Kanazoe contractors, talking about corruption? Is that the same Mahama had these corruption scandals during his tenure of office; Judicial scandal, Alfred Woyome saga, Airbus scandal, Armajaro scandal, Saglemi housing scandal, Bus branding scandal, Gyeeda scandal, SADA scandal, NSS scandal, Brazil 2014 fiasco, and a lot of scandals can’t mention during his era talking about corruption?
Mr. Mahama should immediately come out and apologize to Ghanaians if not we will make him cry like six months baby come 2024.” John Mahama proved to be so corrupt that during his first as vice president, his boss late president Mills had cause to set up a committee to investigate the role played by him in the process leading to the acquisition of five aircraft, including Embraer 190 Aircraft and a hanger for the Ghana Armed forces”, NPPYO added.
Finally, NPPYO slams NDC for not to dare to talk about corruption matters again if not we will show the red cards to them.
The 20 Bundles of Roofing Sheets Sent to Bonakye on Wednesday 1ST SEPT Not A Gift From OTI Regional Minister But NADMO Donations
The Oti regional minister on last week Wednesday, September 1st, sent twenty(20) bundles of roofing sheets donated by NADMO for the entire region to support the good people of Oti region for a natural disaster(windbreak) that occurred across the region last year and government due to insensitivity and lack of resources could not support the affected victims which has rendered so many people houseless.
The twenty(20) bundles of the roofing sheets as a national cake from the taxpayer’s money are supposed to be fairly distributed across the entire region to support all the victims affected by the incident resulting in the demolition of their houses.
It is quite sad the regional minister of Oti region sent all these items to only one particular town and its environs within one particular constituency which is Nkwanta south constituency where he hails from.
The strange and shocking aspect of this unfair distribution of the national cake is that the regional minister is misleading his selected beneficiaries that, the donation is his personal gift for them, and not government initiative nor anyone.
The rationale behind the regional minister’s misleading the people of the region especially the people of bonakye about items procured and provided by the government with their own taxes remains unknown to everyone apart from him.
One will ask why should an unforeseen event like this happened across the region, affecting victims in places like Chinderi, Krachi, Dambai where he resides, Nkonya, Kadjebi, Jasikan, Likpe, and the environs of all these mentioned communities in the region which is not exhaustive, but the regional minister chose to prioritize one community to all the above-mentioned communities, and this is extremely strange in our political landscape, the Hon Minister needs to answer questions by telling the other communities why he chose to ignore them in this difficult times.
The selectiveness and cheap political prioritization of the Npp in governance is really affecting the fair spread of developmental facilities and opportunities to the benefit of all citizens, and the Oti regional minister seems already disappointing the entire people of the region just like his boss the president has disappointed everyone living in Ghana today.
The minister needs to know that, he is ministering over 8 constituencies for now until SALL is added to be 9 and for that matter, he ought to be fair and candid in his dealings, we in the NDC in Oti as his watchdogs with devoid of personal attack and of no malicious intention against him, will always ensure he is put on his toes to do the right thing, Oti region is already failing and we can’t allow that failure to continue.
Also, an intelligence has it that, the Hon Minister is already bidding for the Nkwanta South constituency MPship seat and that is why he is sacrificing the opportunities and national cake of other people and their communities in the region to only his potential voters and I think this is a premature political somnambulism and ejaculation and Mr. Minister need to relax and focus on his mandate for now, because the incumbent hardworking and very selfless MP. Hon Geoffrey Kini is already putting smiles and joy on the faces of the people, When the said event happened, the MP donated to the people more than twenty bundles of roofing sheets, hence twenty bundles of roofing sheets is a peanut to dream of using to induce or buy votes.
It is must be emphasised that, I have no malice motive or intentions against bonakye people benefiting from the minister, but my concern is about how the minister misled them about the ownership of the roofing sheets, claiming it to be his personal gift just for personal political credit, and also how it was unfairly distributed to benefit all in the region equally, the people bonakye will forever remain grateful and committed to the NDC and Hon Geoffrey Kini for our perpetual show of love, care and concern, the NDC will always ensure the people of bonakye are provided with the necessary social and economic developmental facilities and opportunities needed to live well.
As a citizen of the region, I’m ready to commend the Hon Minister if he does well and will not also hesitate to critique him like I’m doing when the need arises.
Hon Makubu’s appointment as the regional minister came has a joy to all of us in the region, believing he will solve or reduce our standing problems and ensure cohesion and fair governance in the region, but unfortunately, he seems disappointing us already, but he has more chance and space to seat up.

African migrant workers brutalised in UAE – report
A group of African workers in the United Arab Emirates have been brutalised, thrown into jail and then deported, researchers from two NGOs have found.
In a new report, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor and Impact International for Human Rights Policies detail how the migrants were arrested en masse in June and then subjected to brutal treatment while in prison.
“They took us straight to prison, not even a police station,” Ugandan Kennedy Rubangakene told Focus on Africa TV. “I was surprised because I did not know why I was there. I worked [there] legally I had the legal documents. My contract had just been renewed.
“There was no offence that I was charged with. They did not even take me to court. There was no offence.” The authorities in the UAE said the arrests were legal and aimed at “prostitution networks [which] were involved in human trafficking offences, indecent acts, and extortion” adding that “those arrested were found to be involved in these crimes”.
The researchers spoke to more than 100 of those affected, mostly from Uganda, Cameroon and Nigeria. They had valid paperwork and were employed in a variety of roles including cleaners, waiters, nurses and electricians, the report says.
The “attacks were planned, targeted and racially motivated”, Michela Pugliese from Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor alleged on the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme. She also detailed how privileges among workers in the UAE vary according to ethnic origin.
In response, the UAE government “categorically denied the report’s racist suggestions, stressing that the [country] adopts strict laws and practices with regards to non-discrimination in all cases”.

Speaking to Journalists in Accra, Dr. Owusu Afriyie -Akoto mentioned ongoing initiatives such as the expansion in the provision of seedlings and fertilizers to farmers, improvement in extension service delivery for farmers among others.
“These are measures that are being undertaken to ensure that Ghana does not move from the stable radar to a worse situation.’’

“The spillage of the Bagre Dam which is causing havoc in the upper East and upper West, we are trying to find a lasting solution by dredging immediately.

We have a program lined up in the medium term to dredge the water in the White Volta to minimise the damage,” according to Dr. Afriyie-Akoto.
EU to return ‘Made in Africa’ Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses to Africa
The European Union will return coronavirus vaccination doses produced in Africa and shipped to Europe from the manufacturer Johnson & Johnson.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made a commitment on the sidelines of a conference in Berlin, Strive Masiyiwa, coronavirus commissioner of the African Union, said on Thursday.
Von der Leyen has promised to deliver 200 million additional doses by the end of the year. Around 70 million of them come from Germany.
In Africa, only just under 3 percent of the population have been fully vaccinated, although the continent is currently in the grip of the third wave of infections.
It is estimated that around 1.6 billion doses are required to vaccinate around 60 percent of the population.
The export of vaccine doses produced in South Africa to Europe goes back to an arrangement between Johnson & Johnson and the South African contract manufacturer Aspen.
That has now changed, according to Masiyiwa. Aspen is now producing its own product under a license exclusively for the African market.

CHIEFS OF KWABENYA PETITION OTHER CHIEFS TO ORDER THE REMOVAL OF ALIEN SHRINES AND BAN ALIEN RITUAL ACTIVITIES
The kwabenya Musuku manhene who is also the PRO of the Kwabenya traditional council, Nii Mensah Dza Nyomo I has petitioned the traditional leaders (Chiefs and Queen mothers), to order the closure of all alien shrines on their Lands and jurisdiction to help curb ritual killings and money doubling menace.
The traditional Council in a press conference today said it has been observed that over the past decade there has been an unperfected influx of immigrant ritualists guised as traditional priests who have abused the hospitality of Ghana and engaged in activities that threaten the lives of residents, social order and the health of the national economy.
Nii Mensah Dza Nyomo I said it is forbidden for migrant traditional rulers and traditional priests to invoke alien rituals and purport to exercise customary authority, which is the sole prerogative of Nananom of Ghana.
He added that the petition would also be extended to the presidency and the national house of chiefs to consider the ban of alien gods in Ghana.
