Consistency is a critical leadership requirement the Ghanaian Politician rarely possess and until the people demand it and ensure there are dire consequences yes even jail time for such unscrupulous politicians, This nation will continue to wallow in abject mediocrity ….
Edudzi Tamakloe, the NDC’s sharp-tongued legal mind, has been caught in a digital pincer movement that exposes the “Reset” for what it truly is: a change in the beneficiary, not the system.
In a video currently making the rounds on social media, Edudzi is seen singing the praises of Engineers & Planners, the mining giant owned by the President’s brother, Ibrahim Mahama.
“We have to support a wholly-owned Ghanaian business,” he declares with the solemnity of a priest. The irony is so thick it could be mined for export.
“None other in this space compares to the record of Engineers & Planners.”
But the archives are a cruel mistress. Just a few years ago, when the NPP’s Ken Ofori-Atta and Data Bank were at the center of state transactions, Edudzi’s vocabulary was vastly different.
Back then, proximity to power was not “supporting enterprise.” It was, in his own words, “using family members to hijack what belongs to all of us.”
The data of the “Reset” is beginning to look like a balance sheet for the First Family. Ibrahim Mahama’s company securing a $500 million mining lease isn’t just business; it’s a structural echo.
Edudzi claims the NDC “has always supported enterprise,” even citing Data Bank’s work under previous regimes. It is a staggering attempt at gaslighting a nation with a long memory.
“To what end have you decided to hijack what belongs to all of us?”
That was Edudzi in 2020. Today, that same “hijacking” is rebranded as “local content” when the surname on the contract matches the one on the ballot paper.
The host’s question was simple: why didn’t you support Brian Acheampong? Edudzi’s response was a winding, legalistic dodge that failed to compute then and fails to compute now.
If it was “state capture” when a cousin did it, why is it “industrialization” when a brother does it? The math of political morality in Ghana remains stubbornly broken.
John Mahama himself once criticized Ken Ofori-Atta for making money through “proxies” on every bond. Yet, the President’s brother is now the lead actor in our extractive sector.
It is a “crazy world,” as the man in the video laments. We are living in a loop where the actors swap costumes, but the script remains the same.
The “Reset” promised to break the “Loot and Share” cycle. Instead, we see the legal architects of the new regime polishing the very chains they once swore to break.
If the record of Engineers & Planners is truly incomparable, why does it only seem to flourish when a Mahama sits in the Jubilee House?
Accountability is a mirror, not a window. You don’t just use it to look at your enemies; you use it to see the rot in your own house.
The video isn’t just an exposure of Edudzi. It is a death certificate for the moral high ground the NDC claimed to occupy during the long years of opposition.
When your “principle” depends on the party card of the contractor, it isn’t a principle at all. It is a price tag.
The people of Ghana didn’t vote for a change in the family name at the bank. They voted for a change in the way the bank is run.
If “Enterprise” only means “The President’s Brother,” then the Reset has already hit a wall.
