You should rather make an intelligent contribution. Ask KUFUOR to dispute what I said. Shortly is relative, you know. It can be 80 years.

Kuffuor's statement makes little sense. Bringing in ideas from PPP or CPP could be understood but bringing PV from PNDC made sense. If anything , the two parties are poles apart when it came to moral standards and respect for human(woman) rights.
PV was in the boat right from the beginning, giving his unseen nods and obviously consenting to the public lashings, hateful confiscations, shooting and disappearances! Was Kuffuour in the known or was he a high calibre NDC mole in the NPP?
I got more questions than answers?
whey did he do everything to facilitate the victory of NDC?
Mr Kuffuour, like many things you did , you raised more lingering questions than provided the expected answers.

I have been wondering if our past presidents have any lessons in message crafting. Just as I bashed Jerry in his so called imperfection reference to PV, so will I go to town against Kuffour. There is a huge difference in meaning when one says " I did not agree with him politically" and "I did not agree with his politics" I did not agree with him politically is in reference to political positions or associations. For instance one could belong to different political parties or political approaches to resolving or going about things. I did not agree with his politics states one's aversion to the way somebody undertook to going about things. Not agreeing with somebody's politics connote negativity. For instance somebody's politics will be to eliminating others who oppose him or setting up others, or not listening to others when he has a view about an issue. I know English is our second language and so what we say might not be what we mean. But that is the reason for which one should be sure of what he is saying and how he should craft his message, especially so when you are a former president. I think Kuffour's statement is hugely unfortunate and must get somebody to appropriately articulate his real intentions for him. In our local parlance, any reference to a John suggest some form of un intelligence. I hope this John of an Agyekum Kuffour does not want to compete with Jerry the John for any title for loose talk

Well, get this, Kuffuor does not agree with fucked-up PV Obeng's politics of GREED, CRONYISM, KLEPTOCRACY, NEPOTISM and infact any of fucked-up PV Obeng's political agenda. The man hates fucked-up PV Obeng's politics, period.

I thought this forum is for decent minded posters. This four letter vituperations do not hop much to convince anyone. are you talking about greed, cronysm, nepotism and the like? Ei, I am sure that this half ghost as his name connotes was a ghost then and might not be aware of the hotel Kuffour issues nor monies which were paid directly to Kuffour at the Castle. Of course PV will be a saint if comparisons should be made of such social vices that have been cited. Do not let us allow bonded politics to push us into such ridiculous submission which end up depicting us as brainless.(not an insult)

Hey watch it! The journalist reporting might be the cause of the syntax error. I have even head "multi bilaterals" coming from a one time Defence Secretary of the United States during George Bush's presidency. There are countless of such ignorable grammatical misdemeanors made even by seasoned journalists in papers which enjoy enviable circulation. Hey! It would amaze you the kind of exposions that a grammatical bigot might make on even the comment you have posted.

Can't you reason that may be you are misreading his interpretation when he really meant his political ideology. He can't be attributing good characteristics to the man if he meant what you are alluding to. Just because you may not like the man as many Ewes are, you can't attribute ill intentions on him when none exist.

That is why we are all in this quagmire. Someone describes my criticism as bigotry et al. I am not so worried about that. I am a nobody and my utterances do not raise any hairs, but a former President!!! My God, how can we be so disingenuous in rationalizing the obvious irrational utterance of a former president. Well let's keep our heads buried in the sands and think all is well

why are these NDC idiots crying , wailing and gnashing their teeth about the NPP not participating in their foolish propaganda gimmick labeled the economic waste of time chop money forum? Even their own duffuor and peprah or worthy businessmen like Sam Jonah and Ken Agyapong amongst others distanced themselves from that farce or hastily prepared event. did they not so long ago say they have a better agenda , action year, manifesto , no need for an all inclusive govt or tapping into the potentials of even the diaspora , no need for free education in the south too, no need to investigate the mysterious death of Mills , encouraging sodomy and homosexuality , govt still in first gear or now in reverse or completely stopped for lack of the fuel of ideas . In fact things are so bad that the long overdue reshuffle can not happen as all worthy , competent people with integrity refuse to participate in the mess of a govt or serve under and idiot of a pepeni president Mahama. Even schoolboy fifi kwetey admits the forum is unnecessary as our problems are all about NDC POLITICS and their incorrigible rouge socialism which further pushes our people to poverty . if you speak up and dont sing their hallelujah chorus of stupidity and hatred of the Akans you will be immediately be branded a drug baron , corrupt , arrogant , ashanti/akyem primitive ,madman , deranged , fool or idiot for pointing them in the right direction . how can there be a successful economic dialogue that will produce sustainable macroeconomics and plans based on the positive potentials of our people if all the major stakeholders including the diaspora or promoters of worthy projects not invited . if no one can dare to criticize the govt for fear of being victimized or persecuted by the ewes and northerners today ? The potential of the majority due to this tribal ndc politics is excluded from participating in anything so how do they expect the move things forward in reality have nothing to offer except corruption , hatred of the Akans and narrow mindedness? petition or not this govt is burdened by being illegitimate in the minds of all citizens ( as all still suspect election rigging and corruption of the judges ) so can never perform or have the true authority and support of the majority to produce a better future.one way or another they will be made to leave as their despicable acts have lead to all victims deeply despising them. PV is gone and all we can say is we feel relief that one more evil traitor of the Akans has gone to hell

There is just one thing which l am well remember about this man who just passed away. On 29/08/2013 it was this man who sat together with Mahama and his vice Mr Amisah Authur wore white altar when Atuguba the opepeni wicked supreme court Judge brought the fake verdict to Ghanaians.

Moreover, l know this man has millions of dollars in his account in USA and United kingdom and it is waste simply because Ghanaians cannot trace it back any more. That is the problem our leaders are giving to the people of Ghana.
