Oh, boy! Let me grab my popcorn because this is about to get spicier than a bowl of waakye with extra shito!

So, picture this: Former President Kufuor, the granddaddy of Ghanaian politics, finally decides to break his silence. And what does he do? He pops up like a jack-in-the-box and says, "Hey, Ghanaians! You should totally support Vice President Bawumia!" I mean, talk about a plot twist!

Now, let's rewind a bit. While Kufuor was enjoying his silence, Ghana was having a party—and not the fun kind. Pensioners were protesting like they were auditioning for a Nollywood drama, corruption was spreading faster than malaria during the rainy season, the Cedi was weaker than my grandma's knees, and living costs were soaring higher than an eagle on Red Bull. And where was our beloved Kufuor? Enjoying his silence like it was a luxury spa retreat!

But wait, there's more! While Kufuor was on his silent retreat, government appointees were being accused of galamsey like it was a new dance trend, and millions of our precious resources were being poured into an empty pit in the city centre. I mean, if we wanted a giant hole, we could have just asked for a meteor strike—at least that would have been more exciting!

Now, I'm not asking for much. I just want our past presidents to be like those wise, old grandpas who sit under the village tree and give advice that's actually useful. You know, the kind that transcends political parties and focuses on what's best for Ghana. Is that too much to ask?

Imagine if Kufuor had been there, speaking out for the nation, holding the government accountable, and addressing our struggles with the compassion of a loving father. That's the kind of statesmanship we're talking about! But no, he decides to break his silence to support the very person who was supposed to be the economic management team's captain, steering us straight into this mess. I mean, if this were a movie, the audience would be booing right about now!

So, let's raise our glasses (or our calabashes) to the hope that one day, our past leaders will have the courage to hold a mirror up to those in government, regardless of their affiliation. That's when a real father of the nation emerges, standing tall above everyone else.

Is this too much to ask for? Probably. But a Ghanaian can dream, can't he?

Long Live Ghana! (And may our leaders find their voices before the next economic crisis!)
