So Nana Addo is not Mugabe anymore? Just asking those who say Addo is too old to be Prez. Let the people vote.

CORNEY, What public office are you talking about?
Was Nana Akufo-Addo not minister of foreign Affairs during Kuffour's regime?
May be you have to ask the old folks.
enjoy your week end.

AUTHOR: MARTIN A.B.K. AMIDU....

It would appear that those in control of the NDC, for the time being, were bent on excluding other bona fide members of the Party who may wish to lay democratic claims to who becomes the next flag bearer of the Party by excluding them even before the mortal remains of the demised President were interred. It is also symptomatic of how political party elites in Ghana and Africa worm their way into the confidences of persons perceived as likely to ascend to power positions for purposes of eventual personal economic gain at the expense of the generality of the mass of Party members and the Nation which every President swears to serve under the Constitution

Do you consider 6+ years as a minister to that of somebody with over 24 years?

This man has consistently dared to speak the truth. His sense of patriotism and loyalty to his party are exemplary.

The Alan Kyeremanten camp within the NPP described Akufo-Addo as incompetent and a monumental failure.

Bagbin, tell some of your party members then that Akuffo Addo is not a spent force, and not a Mugabe. Even Mugabe is not a spent force. People think he has been president for too long and must give way to someone else.
How many times have people in NDC accused Addo as TOO OLD to be president, yet they cannot tell the ages of Mandela and Reagan when they came to power. Such people do not even know the achievement of such great people. Who brought peace between Whites and Blacks in South Africa? Who caused the Berlin Wall to be broken, giving way to European integration? Mahama's government is suffering because some people surrounding him that served in Mills' admn too were not groomed politicians. Some were just student leaders and Mills' students. Running a country is not like students' politics. The square pegs in round holes has led Ghana into the mess we find ourselves now. I am glad Gbagbin has realized that old age does not mean one cannot rule.

Dishonorable Bagbin is shamelessly acknowledging the obvious fact. For the past 20 years since being a Parliamentarian Bagbin has not "mentored" even a fly let a lone one young human being. He has only specialized in grabbing money waa-waa-waa. Has he forgotten that as the Minister for Health he had to transfer young Anzagra from the Wa Regional Hospital so that the later would be unable to contest the Parliamentary primaries? His own cousin, late Dr, Banka was transferred from the UWR to the VR because of differences over chieftaincy claims. Twaa!

This man should remember what happened to Teye Nyanu for his atitude towards the party. He has lost all his chances of becoming an MP. He should beware of his comments. He is doing this because he has not been given any ministerial appointment.

The real reason is that he knows he will lose the next primaries even to contest as an MP.The name Bagbin is like ebola in the Nadowli-Kaleo Constituency.

I was tempted to ignore you but looking at how your struggling to write simple English I have a lot of pity for you. Fact is that poodles like you depend on the chromes that Bagbin drop on his trails for you to peck on. You may talk for yourself but not the "entire upper west region" of which he does not represent in the first place and you have not conducted any survey to arrive at that infantile conclusion. This Sombo Mugabe will surely lose the primaries let alone attempting to go to parliament again.

Perhaps, being a force means given the platform to make the loudest noise.

Bagnin is a life time parliamentarian for Nadowli constituent. He can only resign this position whenever he deemed it necessary. There is no one who can lusciously and sardonically get him out through the ballet box. I am not on any egocentric foibles trip but the pure truth.
The only person who could have beaten him through the ballet box is DR.Debagah who is a professor at UDS campus Wa. But for some shrunken and disjointed reasons he left the party and became independent candidate. I have this feeling, I might be politically wrong, if he organize his forces well and stand as an independent candidate, he stance a better chance of beating Bagbin. I love both guys but I think uncle Bagbin should consider passing torch to this man. For the benefit of Nadowli constituency. Any other person, they will nauseated and start casting all kind of demisable shadows.
