It is highly doubtful whether a clinically demented and a morally confused shyster lawyer like Godwin Edudzi-Tamakloe, described by the media as the Legal Affairs Director of the presently ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), is really capable of differentiating what the Trokosi Nationalist Mafia Gangster Lieutenant terms as a “decent-minded person” from and “indecent-minded Person,” when it comes to the historical value that the overwhelming majority of Ghanaian citizens and the global community, at large, place on what has widely become known as “Martyrs’ Day” on Ghana’s National Political Calendar.
Which is fundamentally why the former Jeremiah “Jerry” John Rawlings’ political poodle cannot be taken even half seriously , when the so-called Legal Affairs Director of the John “European Airbus SE Payola” Dramani Mahama-led National Democratic Congress smugly asserts that telling the truth about the unspeakably horrific chain of events that culminated in the Rawlings-Tsikata-sponsored assassination of the Three Akan-Descended Accra High Court Judges, namely, Justices Cecilia Koranteng-Addow, Kwadwo Agyei Agyepong and Frederick Poku-Sarkodie cannot be properly put within the context of the irrefutably politically motivated circumstances in which the at once most primitive and morally benighted and inexcusably despicable nightmarish events of June 30, 1982 occurred, an excruciatingly painful and an indelible blotch and an indescribably ugly scar on the conscience of all “decent-minded” Ghanaian citizens and, to be certain, the global community in-toto (See “ ‘How Can Any Decent-Minded Person Link PNDC to NDC’[?] – Edudzi Tamekloe[sic] Slams Politicization of Martyrs Day” Modernghana.com 7/1/25).
His youthful naivety can absolutely in no way, shape or form, whatsoever, excuse this blatant and characteristically mendacious attempt by the legal novice who conspired, colluded and collaborated with Johnson “The Mosquito” Asiedu-Nketia to literally twist the arms of some lily-livered justices of the august Supreme Court of Ghana (SCOG) to thievishly snatch the parliamentary seat of the Klottey-Korle Constituency, in Central Accra, from the extant legitimate holder of the same, to wit, Nii Armah Ashitey, on kleptocratic behalf of Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the officially recognized eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rawlings.
So, the Dear Reader can perfectly understand why Yours Truly would so poignantly and virulently describe Mr. Edudzi-Tamakloe as a man who is in dire need of psychiatric examination and a thorough psychological overhaul and a comprehensive retooling of the same. The fact and the truth of the matter is that “Martyrs’ Day” can only be unscrupulously disengaged from the historically inextricable political reality and context and the immitigably sanguinary milieu of the reign-of-terror charged climate in which the Three Akan-Descended Accra High Court Judges and the then recently retired Ghana Armed Forces Officer, Major Samuel “Sam” Acquah met their untimely and criminally cold-calculated deaths.
In recent months, some National Democratic Congress’ apparatchiks have dastardly attempted to use raw intimidation to silence those among the leadership of the country’s present main opposition New Patriotic Party who are viscerally averse to the scandalous attempt by the cynical and the opportunistic likes of Alhaji Said Sinaré, the implacably cantankerous Egyptian-mothered half-Ghanaian National Democratic Congress’ goon, to rascally paper over the wanton and the unspeakable atrocities perpetrated against the overwhelming majority of Ghanaian citizens, especially the country’s Akan-Majority Populace that bore the bulk of the brunt of the unspeakable atrocities of the so-called Rawlings Revolution, which was in reality a patently Anti-Akan Ethnic-Cleansing Campaign, and the latter ethnic group’s dominant Asante subpolity.
Mr. Edudzi-Tamakloe appears to have come to the grim and the excruciatingly painful recognition of the fact that absolutely no amount of intimidation and rhetorical brainwashing and browbeating can erase the historically, morally and the politically and mnemonically indelible atrocities meted against the country’s Akan-Majority Populace, thus the recent resort to the kind of morally despicable and deplorable mind-game being deviously played by the morally and the mentally dislocated likes of Mr. Edudzi-Tamakloe and the rest of the hoodlum pack of the state-capturing National Democratic Congress’ robber-barons.
If he really wants a critical mass of Ghanaian citizens and the members of the proverbial International Community to believe that, indeed, there is absolutely no forensically credible interlinkage between the erstwhile Chairman Jeremiah “Jerry” John Rawlings-led extortionate junta of the Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC) and the present-day Chairman Rawlings-founded Faux-Civilianized institutional establishment of the National Democratic Congress, let the so-called Legal Affairs Director of the latter political party provide his audience with a credible list of the founders and the pioneer cabinet members and appointees of both the Provisional National Defense Council and the National Democratic Congress to enable us settle matters once and for all.
You see, the Trokosi Nationalist-Slain Three Akan-Descended Accra High Court Judges were summarily executed, Mafia style, according to the Samuel Azu-Crabbe Commision-produced Special Investigations Board (SIB) Report, by the leadership of the Rawlings-Tsikata Diarchy, primarily and solely because of their ideological beliefs and the remarkable and the palpable influence of their beliefs on their professional conduct as Superior Court Jurists, and absolutely for no other forensically ascertainable reason or reasons. Consequently, if Mr. Edudzi-Tamakloe wants to be taken seriously, then he needs to provide forensically credible evidence pointing to the fact of the Martyred Judges having lost their lives through means other than the purely political which, by the way, is what “Martyrdom” principally means and unarguably and inescapably implies.
