They say we are being spiteful and have no patience or understanding for this useless pepeni / ayigbe devil God forsaken govt. See the misfortunes and disasters we face due to this tribal pepeni hopeless govt . Pestilence after pestilence will befall us until we stand up and do God's will by removing with blood this idiotic govt.People dying horrible deaths just because of corruption . They buy below standard firefighting equipment from America which cant do the job just because someone wanted to chop money , ambulances that have below standard equipment and can do the job right , sewage and drainage systems that dont exist or function due to the fact that some needed to chop money and the list is endless. When things go bad and people begin to die nobody is accountable or can be held responsible . My people arise and remove this fool govt from there quick

Vandapuije have done well to accept that he has failed his people even though he has been given an award as the best mayor by outsiders. No wonder their errors were made manifest as the time of meeting in Accra coincided with the time of the rain and fire tests.

Why do you want him to resign? This problem hasn`t it been there for years? Now that it has taken lives you want him to step down. During Kuffour`s time, it was there so if Kuffour had done something about it after knowing that Rawlings couldn`t do anything about it, it`d not have happened. There`re similar problems in the country but no government has done something about them simply because the citizens themselves don`t see them to be problems. Sodom and Gomorra, the government mentioned that they`d clear them from there due to health problems. The same Ghanaians stood against the government. Black man has no sense so we`d continue to live the way we live till the end of the earth.

We have never had a mayor more ready and capable of demolishing illegal structures like Okoe, I can assure you.
We all saw the vicious campaign against Oko for his efforts at ridding the city of illegal structures and hawkers.The refrain from NPP serial callers was: Where do you want them to get money to feed their families? They sensitised people so much against NDC that Okoe had to go slow on the exercise. Now NPP has turned round to use the problems against Okoe! How can people be that evil? NPP wants to reap from all sides - no morals.
I now believe that NPP is worse than IS+ISIS+Boko Haram+Al-Shabab+Al-Qaeda. People should fear this evil party.

The death of these people should be on their collective heads. Don't resign but resolve to do better after admitting failure.

Even if he admitted failure in certain areas, that doesn't mean he is not working. Consider when has any other public officials since independent of Ghana, have ever be bold, to come up with this assertion of the truth? How much work has been done on this same problem by the immediate past government of NPP ' S eight years rule? For this project was supposed to be carried out by the past governments but due to politicking of issues like this, all of them fairly failed.

The Stench in our Accra Capital, culminated in very many hazardously elements and unbecoming comfort of living is enough to see your exit from the position you are holding NOW.
I hope you have NOW come to the realisation that being a Mayor of Accra or elsewhere does NOT necessarily mean canvassing support from the White House of the United States, but concentrating on the JOB to get proper results.
You decided to flex your STUPID MUSCLES by shooting on the car Tyres of an Innocent Ghanaian, simply because you felt you were being followed in a broad day LIGHT in the Accra Metropolis.
Please tell us, does this Silly Actions of yours happen in the United States???
Most of us are here in the Diaspora, Australia, Europe, America, South America, Middle East, Africa are so much ASHAMED to witness what has happened in Accra.

Goat Mahama and Oko should get the fuck out there. They have totally failed the nation. The loan money for this project was not $500 Million Dollars but rather $795 Million Dollars with $595 Million set for the rehabilitation of the Western Railway Lines and $200 Million Dollars set for the Accra Drainage System. Late Egya Atta had a dinner in his honour in March 2012 by American Businesses for this purpose and we are seeing this disaster today which could have been averted if these fools in authority have done their responsible duties.

IT was wrong for the mayor of Accra Metro, to claim that his Administration has failed the people of Accra,instead he must emphatically say that the ministry of Finance has contributed by and large to the failure of the people of Accra for delaying the release of 500 million dollers facility granted by the Exim bank of America to dredge the Odaw River in the epicenter of the catastrophy that engulfed parts of Accra.Why should the Ministry of Finance delay the facility which does not directly comes from the country,s resorces.To me and many concerned Ghanaians,the Ministry of Finance must be blamed and charged for the huge and monumental destruction of property and claiming of dear lives of many Ghanaians.The Govt must react to the Mayors claim and should immediately release the said facility to avoid further destruction ahead of the rainy season in the country.

Afterall the Minority hints about a $600 loan facility to dredge the Odow river is the truth.The clueless Mahama admin diverted the money.The public wants to know, which areas of the Economy was the money used ? Or,was it consumed by create, loot and share(private pockets)?. Fiifi Kwartey (money do not fall from - heaven), Omane Boamah(presi/ spokesman and chief propagandist), and Mahama.Where is the Money, please !.
Having said that, my understanding of the self admission of failure by Mayor Vanderpuje is the common sense approach to revealed to the public what transpired to be in good standing of the administration.B'cos the naked truth hurts.For, If the gov't did not released the Money to AMA, there was nothing the CEO could do to dredge the Rivers, until AMA is allowed to access the facility. Mayor Vanderpuje,in my personal opinion,I think you're exonerated,if money was not released to you to do the peoples business.Therefore the Accra Mayor did nothing wrong!. Whatever happened with regards to the floods in Accra is the fault of Mahama gov't.
Those of you who called for the resignation of the Mayor, please come again !. Anyway.

If the Mayor of Accra has admitted that he has failed the country in his administration of the Capital City of the country then the only alternative option for him is to RESIGN. It is not Accra that he has failed but the country. Because Accra is the gateway of Ghana. This is what people who failed in the cause of their duties in other countries do-RESIGNATION. So Ghana is looking forward to Mayor Vanderpuije to give his resignation letter to the President immediately. With his POOR administration of Accra,I always doubt if Mr Oko Vanderpuije has ever held any responsible job in the USA as stated in his resume.

Even if u bring the best mayor in the world nothing will change if the fundermentals are not right I.e money,right attitude of the people etc
I thought you were going to announce your resignation.
Maybe we should pray that a ministers child dies in these mindless death mor maybe one of the numourus children of presidents. Then this award winning mayor would be seen for what he really is.
Mr Major,you see you need to apply wisdom and knowledge to your duties. You don't wait for this to happy and render an apology. How will the apology brings back hundreds of lives and billions dollars of properties lost? Act w ...

We must blame ourselves. Did the mayor throw refuse into the drains? You have at one time or the other thrown refuse into drains or street. We must be ashamed of ourselves. Blame yourselves.
As all the other politicians in the country: no spine, no honor, no conscience.
Just resign. Only in Africa will he still stay in power. I bore waa. Because this flooding is man made and the loss of life is sickening. Next year, we will talking about this again.
We live a nation where politicians take to telling half-truths and lies because they always have bootlicking followers or support base that will always root for them. Lies, lies and lies all the time. Always being apologetic ...
