…Nevertheless, January 2013 brings into power another John as it happened in January 1993 with both coming from the NDC.
Interestingly, Ghanaians will witness the first among the Johns to have been sworn in as Vice President and twice as the President of Ghana with another opportunity to contest as Presidential candidate in 2016.
If 2016 goes for him, he will be the only President in Ghana’s history to have been sworn in thrice (3 times) aside being the Vice President.
Again, this year , Ghanaians would expect that the 1992 constitution which was reviewed and had not seen the light of day as at 2012 under the late President John Evans Atta Mills may receive life if the President appends his signature to it.
With more to unfold, 2013 marks exactly 13 years (2000) when Mr. John Agyekum Kufour won the third (3rd) elections to be organized by the Electoral Commission of Ghana ( since 1992).
It also marks 10 years of the National Health Insurance Scheme which was passed into law by President Kufour in 2003.
Moreover, 2013 would activate the sad mood of Ghanaians by bringing into memory one year after the death of President John Evans Atta Mills who contested 3 times(from 2000) before winning Ghana’s 2008 elections. Unfortunately he passed away after exactly 3 and half years in office.
Furthermore, a 6-storey Achimota Melcom Shopping Centre building which on Wednesday November 7, 2012 collapsed with lives and property destroyed would not be forgotten as it was just 30 days to the 2012 elections.
Last but not least would be the remembrance of the death of Ghana’s former Vice President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama on Friday, 16th November,2012 which happened 3 weeks to the election.
From the above I now can understand why some people try to play around numbers but life still goes in Ghana.
