I write concerning your childhood picture on your best-selling My First Coup Detat Book – Little Mahama
Happy day Sire on your 65th. And congratulations on coming thus far.
Agreeably, you’re the only Statesman in contemporary Ghana with huge experience in governance – having risen virtually through all the critical ranks to become President. “An Experienced Diver” has become one of your comparative advantages going into the 2024 December elections.
My first close-up encounter with you was when I was privileged to host your Conversations with the Youth at the Bukom Arena months ago.
I noticed you are not growing any younger. 65 years is a long journey! So to be able
to manage your health and stature, and still provide an unparalleled clear and innovative vision for Ghana is impressive. To champion and maintain a decent squeeze in governance in a smearing political landscape is a huge testament to a vibrant heart, an unwavering spirit, and above all, A BIG LOVE you have for Ghana despite all the unfair treatments meted out to you during your last days in office. Congratulations, Sire!
On this 65th day of celebrations, the youths say I should add to the wish list a reminder of what this new age means to you—the future is for the youth, and the youth at heart like you. That, just like you found HOPE and PURPOSE in your “First Coup,” remember the HOPE and promise you have made each day of your life to the teeming youths of this country on your second coming.
This birthday message aligns with one of your game-changing ideological policies aside from the 24-hour Economy. And that is A Young Cabinet, perhaps the Youngest ever after your late boss, JEA Mills.
Your late boss JEA Mills is remembered for his daring leadership principles and decisions he took to bring many young persons into governance. You also have a track record of this for giving many young people the opportunity to serve. Today, the youths of Ghana say I should tell you – JM TOASO! Continue to empower the youths even more in your next coming. Bring in more ambitious youths, hungry to change the status quo, ready to be the next generation of thinkers and doers who will make major leaps in all sectors of our economy, moral and technical.
And to think about the zodiac fact that you’re a 29th November born, EIGHT DAYS TO ELECTIONS and falling on #8 on the ballot paper, ABA NO, MAHAMA AFA! Allah is involved!
