Seasoned journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has issued a stern warning to former President John Mahama not to dare touch the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) free Senior High School (SHS) education policy.
According to him, Mr. Mahama will be embarking on a “suicide mission” should he decide to advance his decision to review the double-track policy, peradventure he is elected President of the Republic of Ghana in 2020.
Kweku Baako’s warning comes on the heels of recent statements by the former President promising to review the Akufo-Addo government's free SHS double-track policy if elected President in December 2020.
Ex-President Mahama told his party faithfuls at Cape Coast North constituency during a tour in the Central Region ahead of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential primaries that the government’s free SHS policy is ill-timed.
"Our NPP friends, they don't listen to advice, they think they know everything . . . We just finished vacation. Children have been at home for nearly three months. It is time to go to school you say you have to stay at home for nearly 41 days and let your friends go. After 41 days, they will come home and sit down; it doesn’t make sense,” Mahama said, adding that when elected President for a second time, he would hold a national stakeholders conference where he would panel educationists to revise the policy.
But commenting on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo”, Kweku Baako told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that there will be utter “disorder under the heavens” should the former President succeed in his agenda.
“If you abolish double track now, there will be disorder under the heavens. There will be disorder under the heavens; total chaos,” he stated categorically, further stressing that Mr. Mahama and the NDC are “potentially suicidal”.

Dear Ghanaba, i can say with confidence from the way you speak that you don't have kids please let us be
If mahama says he'll review then it means free shs is possible in 2042.he said the policy is not possible so how can he review it. Let everyone get educated to listen to the lies of NDC
review to what? single track! so that those who passed and could not get access to senior high school will sit in the house for 5,4,3,2,1 years for you to build all the structures needed before go to school? I have now understood the meaning of Mahama being incompetent by Bawumia, ah ah ah and this man lead us for 4 and half long years, hhhmmmmmmm. Ghana aboka eguuu oooooo
2020 we go show Nana
So my friend Ghanaba you and the NDC think leaving these thousands of children permanently home to be taken care of by their parents is more better and affordable than given them the opportunity to go to school and study and go on vacation for 41 days and back in school.Sometimes I wonder if you guys know the truth but deliberately lying or you are jus plain INCOMPETENT
MR BAAKO IF YOU THINK YOU PEOPLE CAN PLAY POLITICS WITH OUR KIDS FUTURE THEN THINK AGAIN , WHERE ON THIS WORLD IS THIS 3 MONTHS SEE SAW???????? MR BAAKO TILL THIS DAY WHEN DR NKRUMAH BROUGHT FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SEE SAW EDUCATION , WHERE AM I GOING TO GET THE MONEY TO FEND FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS MY WARD IS COMING TO STAY HOME , PLEASE BECAUSE YOU ARE PAY TO TALK YOU INFLAMED AND THING THAT CATCHES YOUR EYES THIS OUR KIDS FUTURE.
If our institutions were stronger, we wouldn't be playing politics with the education of our nation. It's my prayer that Ghana will one day develop to the level of these first world countries, where politics doesn't interfere with our education. One comes and say four years, another comes and say three years. one says review another is talking someting. Why? God help us oooooooo!
Don't you worry Baako for there's no way we are going to leave our dear country into the hands of the incompetent corrupt like this john ford to take us backwards again we are moving forward 2020 WE GO VOTE NANA. NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
