Then also, who is not aware of the story about a newly elected President John Dramani Mahama – or Interim-President John Dramani Mahama – being asked by a BBC-TV reporter whether he had ever solicited or received an item of bribery, cash or kind, in any official capacity, and the subject of such questioning asking the reporter whether the point of reference was in his pre-presidency or Mr. Mahama’s post-presidency era? What is wrong with that?” It was almost as if “Little Dramani” wanted Mr. John Bull to feel sorry and stupid at the same time for having asked such an obviously lame question. You see, Dear Reader, the so-called apology or “unqualified apology” was not really about any heartfelt or remorse-generated apology. Hey, Little Dramani, me too, I profusely apologize!
