Akosa: ‘Ghanaians must stop electing fair-weather leaders’

A former Director General of the Ghana Health Service, Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa has advised Ghanaians to elect leaders with purpose if they want to see progress in their lives.

According to him, the country has not seen much progress over the years because its leadership has been weak and indecisive.

Speaking to Starr News on the occasion of the 106th anniversary commemoration of the birth of Ghana’s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the CPP kingpin said Ghana appears to be heading nowhere with its contemporary leaders.

“ Ghana has not changed since 1966. It has just a few toilets and roads; that is not development.

“Nkrumah is the man who sat down and knitted Ghana’s fabric together and created what is now Ghana. A country where people even understood themselves better then, than they do now.

“And these are things that we should look at and choose leaders who come with that sense of purpose and not leaders who are fair-weather,” he bemoaned.
