N WHAT concerns him the most, the Upper East Regional Minister and member of the Vice President’s campaign tour, says the Vice President believes that the ’24hrs economy will not allow us to sleep with our wives’.
Speaking to the the chiefs and people of Sakote in the Nabdan Constituency, the Regional Minister is heard explaining Vice President Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia’s understanding of why he is opposed to the 24-hour economy as proposed by Candidate John Dramani Mahama of the NDC.
According to him, Dr Bawumia’s opposition is because Ghanaian husbands need to sleep with their partners after work.
“The Vice President is saying that he understand the reason, he says this 24-hours economics, my brothers, when we work in the farms and are tired in the night, we have to sleep with our wives oooh.
“… We have to be careful about this 24-hour thing oooh.”
Hmmm! Like the proverbial six blind men describing an elephant, everyone holding or interested in a part of the elephant defines it as perceived.
It’s, therefore, somehow normal for most folks to define Mahama’s larger vision of a 24-hour economy within their realms of individualized appreciation. It’s abnormal, however, to deviate from the foundational vision as proposed by a proponent.
Worry is when you have leaders of state and Government focused and oriented towards sleeping with their wives instead of creating jobs for the thousands of unemployed elders and the teeming number of unemployed youth in a region, then you know you have a serious deficit in leadership in a leaderless economy.
When leaders are so obsessed with sex that they cannot conceive and/or appreciate that the national crisis of unemployed elders and youth in a region, and elsewhere, is a security threat and that such folks will welcome working early morning or in the night instead of boozing and playing draughts all day, then know that the future is bleak under such sex-driven leaders.
When you have leaders interested in sex parties and more, without realizing that the men, women, boys and girls they lead also need jobs to take their minds off sleeping with people’s wives in the day, then you have a challenge.
For instead of creating jobs, they think of how quickly to close to go and have sex.
So sad, but it’s not the minister’s appreciation of the 24-hour economy policy that worries most. It’s the fact that he clearly says his appreciation is that of Ghana’s Vice President.
Hmmmmmm!
Adios!
