The Election Petition Is Like A 7-Month Old Pregnancy – Kofi Adams

Spokesperson for the Rawlingses, Kofi Adams has expressed his thoughts about the ongoing Presidential election petition likening it to a “pregnant woman”. He said during an interview on Radio Gold’s “60 minutes” that the election petition is supposedly going nowhere as the direction it seems to take is obvious to the parties involved. Although not making definite assertions about the case, he was however of a strong view that the nation is practically making a molehill out of a mountain because to him, the country does not need a soothsayer to predict the outcome of the case. Though he remained silent on which party he claims is the pregnant woman, Kofi Adams held that the petitioners’ case is “like a woman that is pregnant at the 7th month. We all can see the pregnancy that the person is pregnant. We all can see where the case is going to go…You don’t need a soothsayer. It’s so clear.” This therefore means the Justices sitting over the case, he stated, “are only going to assist the pregnant woman to deliver…” Addressing the court issue as if in parables, Mr. Adams who also doubles as the Deputy General Secretary of the ruling party averred that “it’s easier to reverse the flow of the Volta Lake than to have what the petitioners are seeking to do in the court. “Not that I’m a judge but I have listened; I have watched and I have seen the case that they have presented there and I think that they have a mountain.”
