A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) dreaded legal caucus told the famous and philanthropic Nigerian Prophet, Temitope Balogun Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), that a particular Hippopotamus keeps him sleepless nights.
Brother Komla Senanu did not explain why the disgruntled beast never allows him?take the ?night?s supper? prepared in the black-pot of Daavi before the nightly mischief: But he told the trusted man-of-God that he barely enter into bed with his sweetheart when the nocturnal beast strikes and menacingly lifted up the bed, attempting to toss the haul into an abyss.
He could then choose to sleep in courtrooms at the time he should be on the floor putting it to people of ?less privilege?. He also had rammed and crushed into more than 80 vehicles in road accidents. He needed deliverance.
In fact, one brush in the face seems to have healed the Ghanaian human rights lawyer and his wife, and they slept thereafter, as sound as, twin-babies, even forgetting about their nightly duties promised each other; and by next day, it was all song of glory to the Covenant-keeping God.
But it was in a morning of last week when my newspaper supplier trotted to my office to announce that, ?Nana, your friend; his spiritual disease was still there o!?
Which of them? I asked. The lawyer who gave the testimony at SCOAN, on the emmanuel-TV. Aha! He continued; ?The speed with which he just drove pass was near deadly.?
Oh, Komla! That is only hippopotamus; and by the time the almighty elephant would decide to chase you, you may see things differently; my brother!
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2012 Vice Presidential Candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, though was not at the various polling station, as did his party polling agents appointed by them, who appended their signatures and thumbprints to affirm and confirm the NPP loss, labored himself by carrying ?jumble of documents? in pink-sheets to flood the Ghana?s Supreme Court, in sour grapes? protest.
And like the ?Ghana Cedi? he engineered change with clich?, ?the value is the same?, the only answers Bawumia has for questions about his load of Afari-Gyan?s pink-sheet were; ?You and I were not there?; see?
Anyway: methinks by the time banker-turned ?astute politician? Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia finishes with himself or is finished with, through the Supreme Court hearing petition brought to it by him, Nana Addo and Jake Otanka, his ?ANALYSIS? of the Afari-Gyan?s EC famous ?pink sheets? could become legal authority and or precedent, fully gazetted in the Ghana?s Annual Law Report Books, for quotes with emphasis, by Ghanaian lawyers of repute, including Tsatsu Tsikata, Tony Lithur, Quarshie Idun, Gloria Akuffo, and of course, Philip Addison and Akoto Ampaw, at both lower and higher courts of the land; and Bawumia himself becomes Professor Mahamudu ?Analysis? Bawumia; hahaha!
People believe the right place for Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to prove his law credentials and shame Yaonasu Kpegah Esq. could have been in the Supreme Court?s Witness?s box.
But the ?Wulu-wulu lawyer? had to hide himself, deep, among the court listeners, with Jacob O-Lamptey in a hind-bag, with pep talks; where whatever Nana tells Jake about the on-going case was taken hook, line and sinker.
But Nana looks alert, just that the chilled Georgina Wood Courtroom pokes ensconcing air into his eyes through the side of his ?all-die-be-die spectacles? leading him to doze a little, while Bawumia sorts out mountain after mountain duplicates, triplicates and quadruplicates of Exhibits of his Analysis-of-Error, as and when put to him by red-eyed Respondent lawyers; see?
In that case, the eminent Ghanaian economist and former governor of Ghana?s Central Bank, Dr. Analysis Mahamudu Bawumia looks like the unqualified masquerade, who attempts to dance in public, as far as legalities and their attendant techniques, are concerned.
Sometimes his pair of designer specs becomes even obstacle to his clear viewing of document he had filed under solemn oath, apparently certified by the trio?s attorneys, led by Philip Addison Esq.; and would have to either raise the pair up onto forehead, which also fight back in rejection of the handsome eye-glasses.
Obviously, it was the star witness?s eye-glasses that attracted his PNC?s National Chairman Alhaji Ramadan?s daughter-wife to him, like rainbow does water-source.
Some argue that Bawu-Bawu?s pair of spectacles was acquired from either GUCCI or Armani for dressing-to-kill Samira; others within the NPP sheepfold would argue that the Bawumia-specs were for sighting-aid, purchased at high cost, from either ROBERTS or AMASHA opticians.
It was argued that reliability on Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia?s intelligent ?analysis? led to the John Kufuor?s NPP regime?s change/devaluation of the Ghanaian currency, the cedi, which got Ghanaians short-changed, while the government argued that the value of ?10,000.00 note to ?1.00 were the same. I said nah!
It was also the blind-reliability on Bawumia?s ?analytical? prowess that got Candidate Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo confused with his calculation on his tensely propagated Free-Senior-High-School annual cost of universal Ghanaian students, which he misleadingly pegged at ?78million.
It was said that, ?first and second time fool, is not a fool, but the third. People believe this time round that, once Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia the economist, had demanded for a calculator to boost his grips on the numerals in the Supreme Court case analysis, he would now put red-eyed Satan to shame, and carry the NPP through; I swear!
Because winning of court case at that highest level would arguably depend on the Star Witness?s accuracy, precision and straight-to-the-point argument, to be able to convince the 9-Sages representing the Supreme Court, whose grey-on-hair, moustache and the crotch wasn?t as result of talcum powder ? no! Not Nyankonton or Saturday powder, my brother!
