Let me remind all the NPP members the argument Nana Akufo-Addo made at the party’s Congress in Sunyani in 1998 in his opposition to giving candidate John Agyekum Kufuor the second chance after losing to Rawlings in 1996. Here was Nana Akufo: “I call on members of the party [NPP] to embrace change in leadership of the party. Such changes are far from harming the fortunes of the party. Change improves the chances of political parties as a new face eventually means new ideas, new methods and new strategies…any candidate elected as the NPP's flag-bearer has already secured 30% of the total valid votes. Failure to garner the remaining 20% plus 1 means the candidate has failed, and therefore must be changed” (ref: Ghana Daily Graphic, October 8, 1998). If John Kufuor back then did not deserve to be nominated for the second consecutive time, why is it okay now for Nana Akufo-Addo to seek the party’s nomination the third consecutive time, having led NPP to two painful electoral defeats in 2008 and 2012? Well, it seems like Nana Akufo-Addo is getting ready to take NPP to the electoral slaughterhouse in 2016 all over again. Let the self-denials ignore the warnings

CI is definately a better managed country. Possibly due to a better leadership and support from France. If Ghana had gone through the brief war they had am sure we would have been taken back some 10 years with the cedi easily exchanging at 1000ghs to 1 USD. In CI nobodies cash savings lost value unless the individual committed part of it to the war. So after the war it was returning from a Western type holiday where you over spent life simply continued as usual. Yes there are some refugees but they are mainly those very close to the loosing party from the war. Visit Abidjan and you will see that it is definately better managed. In such a place it pays also to be patriotic and i see that amongst a lot of my colleagues working there. In GH most of the decisions and the practices by the politicians and unforetunately the present regime are not visibly friendly to the masses and can only breed un patriotic citizens. On one radio talk show about the CI and GH boarder problems most people callin in said CI should have the land/Oil as after all their situation has indeed worsened with the oil!! this is the truth!! in my view a FULL university built from scatch from the oil proceeds or any other visible edifice would have sent the right message than all the un profitable investments being put in the North which are necessary but possibly being done at the wrong time!! My views may not matter but as an individual i pay about ghs 7000 as tax monthly but i dont have a tarred road , nor gutter, nor any other proper social service to my house!! not sure it will be the same in CI or any other proper African country(not many though!!)

You are absolutely right Joe. This would be a gaffe on the part of the president, if indeed he said that. It would amount to interference in the internal affairs of the Ivory Coast. If the opposition in that country comes to power after the elections, this reported endorsement of the current president of Ivory Coast would neither be forgiven nor forgotten. A prudent leader always looks beyond the present.

By the time Ouatara goes his second term, he might have been that old, and can that old person be voted for...if he can be...then why do you use the age factor on your opponent Nana Akuffo Addo? Mahama and NDC, your double standard is only borne out of fear for Nana Akuffo Addo. But he will come rain or shine.

It's sad to know that, Africa now have a new breed of stooges/puppets who are ever willing to work FOR their slave masters at all cost...to the detriment of its citizens.

These lot allow for everything to be done to our resources and our citizens on the cheap!!!! All our rich natural resources have been siphoned out by foreign multi-nationals on the cheap! All in the name of globalization and democracy!

When true African leaders question the intentions of the neo-colonialists, they are eliminated by the West with the help of these stooges. Some do it by subtle means....others by means of force.

Where have all our true AFRICAN LEADERS gone? Why have we allowed these AFROPEANS to continue to sell us cheap, to their slave masters?

When are we ever going to get it?

President Mahama's comment is born out of his concern to have ever lasting peace in that country. Everybody is aware that it is election disputes that brought civil war to that country so if in the estimation of our president continuity in governance for now would bring lasting stability and peace, why should he not express it?

Please read the story clearly, the story made mention of him speaking in the position of Chairman of ECOWAS. He cannot definitely be speaking for Ghana as it was said to be a meeting between Cote d'ivoire and foreign investers. His duty basically was to draw the attention to the relative peaceful atmosphere there for the investors to invest in West Africa.
The politics attributed to the President is too much. Lets do politics when the time demands because the reading of political comments are becoming too much.

It is only stupid ones like you who think Ghanaians are not ready for the prince of peace, Nana Addo Dankwa Aduffo Addo. WE are yearning for him because the fool, I mean the most stupid among all presidents of Ghana, Jon Dankmani Atopahene, kwaseampanin Mahama has destroyed the country to the worse degree. WE need Nana Addo so badly so fools like you can go to hell. You will see what happens in 2016 and at that time, there will be no foreign materials in the ballot boxes, there will be no 27-zero and a paramount chief or a nonentity voting without biometric verification. Oh that day, it will be wao. You need eyes to see what happens to that stupid koteboto president of Ghana.

It is only the eyes of Nana Ado opened that they will see the reality. He is
leading them once again into a ditch. I wonder why people can not think
anymore. Do you really believe that this old Nana Ado who have many
bad tittles hanging on his neck can stand a vibrant and knowledgeable
Mahama? the only thing NPP are relying on as a weapon of winning the
coming election is about economy and corruption, are these enough to make your old Nana a president? "all die be die" is still hanging on
Nana's head, "Yen akan fuo" is still hanging on Nana's head, do not
forget of law certificate that can not be found, intimidation of party
members by Nana and his supporters.If NPP is relying on the current
situation of the economy to win an election then they should re-think,
things will change.

What'll WHO or the international community come to assist with , infect more citizens ? They have already done their mathematical analysis and know how many citizens will be infected & killed .

President of the ECOWAS & AFRICAN UNION should be holding the WHO and vaccines companies , accountable for these atrocities.

HOW DID THIS EBOLA VIRUS COME ABOUT ? WERE AFRICANS NOT LIVING IN SIERRA LEONE , LIBERIA , THE CONGO , GUINEA LONG BEFORE WHEN THESE LANDS WERE VIRGIN RAIN FOREST ?

SANOFI , GSK , NOVARTIS & ALL VACCINE COMPANIES ARE FOLLOWING THE DUNLOP TIRES COMPANY EXAMPLE LED BY SATANIC SO CALLED KING LEOPOLD OF BELGIUM WHO EXTERMINATED OVER 14 MILLION CONGOLESE MEN & WOMEN FOR RUBBER .

BELGIUM HAVE NO DIAMOND , YET IT'S THE DIAMOND CAPITAL OF THE WORLD , AND THEY'RE USING THE CASH MASTER TO CONTINUE OLD GAMES TO ACHIEVE THEIR BARBARIC GAMES ,
POOR AFRICAN LEADERS , I CRY FOR LACK OF STRONG LEADERSHIP

MERS IN SAUDI ARABIA , EBOLA ARE ALL MANUFACTURED & DISTRIBUTED BY THE CASH MASTERS AS DESCRIBED BY BELGIUM AS THEY'RE ACIDIFICATION OF PATRICE LAMUMBA INTHE 1960
