Who Weeps for Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani, Mr. Harruna Attah? Listen to article
I long ago – in political time, that is – decided that the former Editor of The Statesman, the newspaper originally founded in the late 1940s by Justice Edward Akufo-Addo, later to become Ceremonial President of Ghana under the Westminster-fashioned tenure of Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia, and the father of our incumbent President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was not worth the least bit jousting with publicly. You see, this is a former Akufo-Addo protégé, a Rawlings-immured refugee ostracized by the recently deceased Founding-Father of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and husband of the younger sister of Mr. Rawlings widow, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawling, and a Mahama-minted mercenary “Ambassador” or “High Commissioner.”
Part Two: JM must not concede
‘Glamis hath murder’d sleep, and therefore Cawdor
Shall sleep no more; Macbeth shall sleep no more.’
William Shakespeare
Convention
It is a time honoured convention and has served mankind well over the millennia: A “loser” conceding after a fair competition. In sports, entertainment, reality shows, and yes, politics, a fair competition is always followed by magnanimity and graciousness. It is not “by force” to concede and congratulate but a competitor cannot be churlish when the competition has been fair.
But competitions are not always fair and some competitors would sometimes employ all sorts of stratagems to “win” unfairly. In such a situation, the delicate balance of losing and conceding such a loss is upturned, which at best could end in protracted civil disagreements and litigation or at worse, more energetic remedies, that is, violence. It is not an outcome desired by people of goodwill and genuine believers in democracy.
