Prof Ransford Gyampo

Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana, Prof. Ransford Gyampo has waded into the “all die be die” and “do or die” controversial statements made by President Akufo-Addo and John Mahama respectively.

According to him, it is in a bad taste to defend any “good idiomatic expression that is susceptible to bad misinterpretation”.

Prof. Gyampo also lashed out at those who found nothing wrong with Akufo-Addo’s “all die be die” statement but have found it convenient to condemn Former President Mahama’s “do or die” statement.

He asserted that it is a “cheap display of hypocrisy” to support Akufo-Addo’s “all die be die” comment but condemn Mahama’s “do or die” idiom “without first letting us know of your political repentance”.

In furtherance, Prof. Gyampo called on Ghanaians to conduct politics with “some principles and conscience”.

Prof if you have nothing to say just shut up. President Addo stated ‘all die be die’ some ten years ago. Subsequently he has said it was an unfortunate statements and regretted having said. That is the more reason why Mahanah’s ‘do or die’ message ought to be condemned. ‘Do or die’ is not just an idiomatic statements. One of its meaning or attributes is the ‘desire to succeed at all cost’ which is even more dangerous. It is disgusting that defenders are dwelling on only two of the six meanings provided by the dictionary they themselves are quoting from. Did they leave school early so as not know that they have to look at the whole spectrum of meanings. HYPOCRITES
