Afriyie-Ankrah Should Tell Us When Mahama Turned Anecdotist
Having subjected Ghanaians to a gruelling process of litigation by way of a petition in the Supreme Court which was eventually thrown out for being frivolous, Mr. Mahama has let the cat out of the bag.
He has admitted that indeed the NDC lost the 2020 elections because of the deployment of illiterate party members as polling agents on the day of the elections.
This admission has been met with an avalanche of condemnations from the Ghanaian public.
Disquieted by these loads of criticisms, some Mahama surrogates have started running helter-skelter, falling over themselves in an effort to do damage control of what Mr. Mahama alluded to.
Elvis Afriyie-Ankrah has said that the former president is an anecdotist as he didn’t mean to carry the impression being carried by the general public with his statement.
He put it this way; “Mahama’s ‘illiterate’ comment was anecdotal, not condemnation”. This is absurd in both its comedic and deceptive effects.
When did Mahama become an expert in the use of anecdotes for Afriyie-Ankrah to be attempting this wobbly defensive position?
This admission by the former president reminds one of Ola Rotimi’s masterpiece “The gods are not to blame’. Jean Mensa, her deputies, Akufo-Addo and the Supreme Court are not to blame for the woes of the NDC but Mr. Mahama and his incompetent party leaders.
