NPP...
These were not words
from the NDC.
These were lessons
from inside your own house.
CROWD:
LOOK IN THE MIRROR!
LEAD:
Before the general election...
NPP had a primary.
Brother fought brother...
Words were spoken...
Wounds were opened.
Then election time came—
CROWD:
THE WORDS CAME BACK!
LEAD:
Your opponents took
your own words—
CROWD:
AND PLAYED THEM BACK!
LEAD:
Dr. Bawumia later said
internal attacks hurt the party.
CROWD:
DEM TALK AM THEMSELVES!
LEAD:
NPP said unity was the medicine...
Then another primary came—
More wounds...
More bitter words...
So Ghana is asking—
CROWD:
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT?
LEAD:
NPP studied the defeat...
CROWD:
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT?
LEAD:
NPP diagnosed the sickness...
CROWD:
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT?
LEAD:
Dr. Bawumia called for unity...
CROWD:
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT?
LEAD:
So why reopen the wound?
CROWD:
LOOK IN THE MIRROR!
LEAD:
October third...
NPP constitution amended...
Flagbearer becomes party leader.
CROWD:
WE HEARD IT!
LEAD:
That means Dr. Bawumia
becomes party leader.
Then Danquah Smith Butey says—
The amendment is invalid!
CROWD:
EI! NPP!
LEAD:
If division hurt you yesterday...
And unity is the medicine today—
CROWD:
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT?
LEAD:
But wait...
