SERIOUS FOR SOUTH SUDAN: ... for the main opposition to choose a boycott of the upcoming elections.

@KudusMohammedGH @ghanafaofficial @GhanaBlackstars Dear Mohammed Kudus, yes, this AFCON was a huge disappointment for the whole nation. But you played well and showed heart. Once we LEARN from this we are not losers, in the long run. Let's all LEARN, ACT, and BOUNCE BACK THE BEST. God bless you

To the heart & soul of 🇬🇭. Falling short at my debut #AFCON23 is a hard reality we face together but as a playing body we take full responsibility. We deeply regret not meeting your hopes this time. Your enduring support is our motivation to making you proud in the future.

Professor Claudine Gay's resignation as President of Harvard University, (first Black person in that role) is very sad, deeply unfortunate, and just unjust for this descendant of enslaved Africans.

@S_OkudzetoAblak Who is behind Heaven Builders? Who are the owners?

THE HEAVEN SCANDAL - PART 1 The Heaven Scandal is yet another classic manifestation of create, loot and share. In recent days, leading members of the ruling New Patriotic Party have been publicly condemning the frightening levels of corruption, looting and plundering which is now the irrefutable legacy of the buccaneer Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration. Alan Kyerematen has boldly called out the “unscrupulous apparatchiks” who have hijacked the NPP and are destroying Ghana. Dr. Amoako Baah a few days ago confessed on TV3 that: “We have stolen everything.” Dr. Arthur Kennedy in his latest epistle has decried the situation where “our resources are destroyed to enrich a few.” Kennedy “Showdown” Agyapong has been captured in a viral video lamenting about how “NPP is looting Ghana as if there is no tomorrow.” This latest exposé — The Heaven Scandal is an incontrovertible confirmation of the public confessions of these top NPP insiders but it also reflects a tragic reality about how there will be no country left if Ghanaians do not rise up to demand an end to the pillage. It is in this regard that I salute and applaud the youth who embarked on the #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration a few days ago. I also commend colleague NDC MPs, Civil Society Organizations, other associations and the vast majority of Ghanaians who will be participating in tomorrow’s #OccupyBoGProtest Facts about the Heaven Scandal On the blind side of Parliament and the Ghanaian people, President Akufo-Addo and Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta have granted approval for our prime airport lands to be handed over under the most shady of circumstances to a company known as Heaven Builders Limited. In an intercepted offer letter dated December 16, 2022, Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Mrs. Pamela Djamson-Tettey conveys the offer and allocations to the Managing Director of Heaven Builders Limited. (Intercepted letter attached) In an outrageous sweetheart deal, the GACL assures Heaven Builders that they will become owners of 38.14 acres of prime airport land in the immediate environs of the Kotoka International Airport under the Airport City Phase 2 Project if they agree to carry out some dubious infrastructure such as roads and drains at a so-called cost of US$85,021,340.00. It is most instructive that the offer letter does not provide any independent verification mechanism for really assessing that any claim by Heaven Builders that they have invested US$85million in infrastructure is indeed accurate. Strangely, no one knows how that infrastructure cost was arrived at. Even more shocking is the decision by the buccaneer Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to adopt this model of a generous crony giveaway to Heaven Builders when GACL could raise their own equity for infrastructure even from our local banks considering the fact that GACL are the direct owners of this prime 93 acre land. Ghanaians would be more devastated to know that because this is a behind the scenes sleazy sweetheart deal, Heaven Builders have made a counteroffer in a letter dated 23rd January, 2023 signed by Frank Owiredu-Affum, a Director, where they demand more land. (Letter attached) Heaven Builders is now asking for a massive 62.14 acres for the same consideration. This is almost double what they were initially offered. They are also demanding that the lease period be extended from 45 years to 99 years. Heaven Builders and their collaborators are perhaps the most powerful and courageous prime land looters this country has ever seen. At current commercial value, an acre of prime land at Airport can be averagely worth US$4million. Under the initial offer to Heaven Builders of 38.14 acres, they stand to make in excess of US$152million. If their current demand for 62.14 acres is approved, they walk away with a cool US$248.56million as they smile to the bank.

@bilkisulabaran @BBC @Reuters Hallelujah. This is awesome. Congratulations Bili. You are blessed. Cheers

Some personal news … After a successful 30-year career at the @bbc during which I worked and reported from around the world I have decided to leave for new opportunities. I leave with gratitude and delighted to have joined another great institution @reuters

🇬🇭 Ghana and Alan Kyerematen: a political earthquake? Or just a tremor?

I wish to use this platform to announce that I am honourably resigning with immediate effect from the New Patriotic Party to contest for the high office of the President of the Republic of Ghana in the 2024 General Elections, as an Independent Presidential Candidate.
