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

He hasn't failed miserably at all, Gye Nyame...you must understand that governance is a matter of luck.....there is every possibility when you come into office, events within and outside your nation will be favorable to your reign....on the other hand, you could come into office and things will be stacked against you,corrupt ministers, frail currency, poor exports, high imports, civil unrest, etc no matter how determined you are to bring the bacon to your people...those sitting on the outside like you and Bature are so quick to throw brickbats at presidents who don't succeed in their first term without as much as mulling over the huge obstacles involved in running a complexity such as a state...

EVENTS WITHIN WHICH HE COULD HAVE CONTROLLED BUT FAILED OR UNABLE TO MANAGE; A HALLMARK OF A PRESIDENT, THE WEAKEST LINK IN GHANA; CANNOT DO FUCK ALL ABOUT WOYOME, WATERVILLE, SADA, SUBAH, AKONFEM,ZOOMLION, GYEEDA, STOLEN GOLD ON A PLANE TO IRAN VIA TURKEY,CORRUPTION OF GFA, AND NOW 'YES' ISOFOTON (ABLAKWA'S BABY) CP PARTNERS, MERCHANT BANK FORTIZ, ALL THESE MATTERS HAVE COST GHANA BILLIONS AND A PRESIDENT CANNOT OR REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHAT A USELESS PRESIDENT AND NOW HE TALKS ABOUT BEING PREPARED ADEQUATELY FOR THE PRESIDENCY. HE SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE SCHOOL BOY WHO TEASES THOSE WHO DO NOT LIKE HIM.

After more than 22 years as MP, Dep/ Minister, Vice/President, what have you to show for all that you have learned for nearly a quarter of a century?

Sorry to say, you are just an IDIOT as your predecessor (Atta Mess Mills) to be wasting Ghana's scanty resources and time through thievery and incompetence. Excelling in womanizing is not analogous to doing well in leadership and the rule of Law.

It is only God the almighty who out of mercy, will show his on the country. You can not have Hippocrates like Ramond Archer and expect to see any meaningful development.When the LEAP programme was introduced by Prez kuffour government, Raymond and co never show anything good about it. Today,he is the very person praising prez Mahama for trying to expand it.

What the heck does 'something' mean to the ordinary Ghanaian who is suffering in the street? This president is always speaking and yapping in vague terms; never quantifies anything he says with evidence, just mere hogwash of words that do not mean anything to anybody except the planning, looting and sharing brigade of the NDC and its apparatchiks.

LETS REMOVE THE INDEMNITY CLAUSE FROM OUR CONSTITUTION AND PROBE EVERY GOVT OFFICIAL SUPECTED OF CAUSING FINANCIAL LOSS TO THE NATION.AN INNOCENT MIND FEARS NO ACCUSATION? WHY SHD ANY GOVT OFFICIAL FEARS FOR HIS LIFE IF HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE. THEY SWEAR AN OATH TO SERVE THE NATION BUT NOT TO LOOT COFFERSS, WHAT PREVENTS US FROM PROBING THEM IF WE SUSPECT THEY CAUSED FINANCIAL LOSS.WE HAVE A GOVT MINISTER, LIVING IN ACCRA GHANA AND ATTENDING UNIVERSITY IN LONDON IN EUROPE. NOT ON LINE,BUT ATTEND CLASSES PHYSIALLY IN LONDON.WHERE DOES HE MAKES THIS MONEY. ALL THAT WE NEED TO KNOW IS HIS SOURCE OF INCOME, IF HE HAS THE MEANS, AMEN TO HIS CHOICE, IF NOT SUCH A MINISTER DESERVE A RIGHTFUL PLACE IN NSAWAM. WE NEED TO DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM OUR LEADERS.MINISTER COMES FROM LATIN MINISTRE=SERVANT. LITERALLY, MINISTERS ARE SERVANTS TO THE NATION AND ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR MASTERS WHICH R D PEOPLE OF GHANA

I am so proud of you for standing up for the truth. No matter what the president put up there, you have made your strong case. People with brains know that you have made the best assessment on the president. The president should know better. Being MP, Minister and so on as claimed by him couldn't make him a well prepared president. Of course, look at the mess the country is in now. The masses are suffering. It is only the politicians in his government who are not suffering.They are constantly loading their pockets with the little resources available in the country. And what has he done? He looks elsewhere for the solution. History will surely record him as the worst president in Ghana. By the way he should stop chasing small, small girls and putting or wiring money in their personal accounts.
