When you are to choose between two evils it is prudent to choose the lesser one. You don't need any help so please stop the act. Its your choice who to vote for and we don't need any explanation why you will vote for whoever you want. If you do not like a man because of continuous propaganda then fine. Mahama as a president is just not it. Any body including the "evil" Akuffo Addo will be a better choice to replace the sweet mouthed no result mahama.

Well, Kofi Amenyo, the bitter truth of the infighting in NPP is that Nana insisted on running with Bawumia a third time. There are two groups in NPP who are against this. One group believes Bawumia as an outsider is upstaging their own presidential ambitions. Kwabena Agyapong is one of these people. Then there are those who are against Bawumia for "clannish" reasons. Nana Addo has stood his ground against all these people. And yet he is the one being accused of being clannish and tyrannical. How ironic!

“There seems to be no ambivalence about Akufo-Addo.” “You either love him or dislike him.”
“There is still a long way to the elections.” “There is time for me to learn to stop worrying and love Akufo-Addo enough to cast my vote for him.” “But, right now, I just don’t know how to do that.”

“Will somebody help me, pleeeease?”

Comment: Your biggest problem is you lack critical thinking skills. Find yourself a reflective thinking skills course and you will be able to take sensible decisions.

You are indeed an ambivalent writer!

What I have seen is that ,if one does not support NPP ,then he is an enemy of progress. This shouldn't be so. Please allow people have the right to choose based on their political ideology and leaning. There should be no insults and name calling just because someone does not share your political views. Ghanaians depend too much on politics to the detriment of mother Ghana or National interest. ... People are following politics because they are bound to gain something. ... they want a change because they and their relations become the next custodians of our national treasures and foreign consulates. .. with their families neing appointed deplomats with deplomatic passports. Opportunities to change their status..all ti the detriment of Ghana....so in the wake of this any good development by the Ghana is belittled or seen as a waste. People let's vote for a change if that change is truly necessary. I for one have refuse to have a political leaning or party of choice. I vote based on factuals and strong leadership. For this reasons JJ scores high and Kufour didn't do badly. Ghanaians are stubborn and indisciplined ,thus need strong leadership to succeed. A president has crack the whip .... sometimes they will call you names, such a dictator when they can't get their... but that how it's done. The average Ghanaian is corrupt by nature.

Unfortunately, opinions like yours won't even serve as a wake up call to the delusional and egomaniacal "misleaders" of the splintered pro-Nkrumahist parties to unite.

ONE CAVEAT: Should drop the insane Hybrid Bill and adopt the Production Sharing Agreement model laid down by PNDC Laws 64 and 84, and thereby putting Ghana on a path of economic independence Nkrumah could only dream of, I might become one of his most vocal campaigners for his re-election.

I find it extremely difficult how the anointing of Alhaji Bawumia spells Nana's democratic credentials. In the words of Alhaji Bawumia, NPP's policy is to pair a Muslim with a Christian. So far former President J.A. Kufour followed the same policy. What has now changed? It is purely religion into politics and Nana adhered to that policy. Is this a plus?

Nana Addo represents a different type of politics that seeks to make a difference and as such has to be stopped by many on all sides. You need to be objective and accept that currently there is no better person to restore political integrity in Ghana. Dr Bawumia is an excellent communicator and a serious thinker. Ghana needs real progress and such we must ensure that we have the best of us leading the country. You dont have to love the man, just understanding and respecting what he brings to the table is enough for him to earn your vote

Nana Akufo-Addo is going to win the Nov 7 2016 election hands down,psychologically his opponents are feeling guilty after years of maligning him with false information.As an Akwapim/Akyem he is prepared to forgive them.

The devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. You and I know Prez Mahama and the challenges his administration encounter (election petition and the power crisis). As we speak now there are credible evidence that these problems are going to be a thing of the past. Mahama has invested heavily in infrastructure projects which is good for the country going forward. So we may have taken the bitter pills now and hoping for a successful second term.
On the other hand, Nana Addo failed to proof to us that he's a credible person owing to the happenings in the npp be it beating, killing etc of his perceived behaviour towards people who merely disagree with him. He might be trying hard to change the perceptions we have about him but once a soldier always a soldier. Even people who were very close to Nana Addo says they can't sleep under his presidency so what else should I be waiting for as a proof that the old man is not good for Ghana?
Again since he's an old man now he might find it difficult to have total control over his appointees and the country like what we saw under Mills. The untouchables like Kennedy Agyepong will be those in charge of this lovely Ghana. Can you imagine a country under such personalities who even in opposition Ghanaians aren't having it easy under their venom?
The local communities and their Chiefs say the change is happening in their faces and they choose JM so do I.

From your comments. I gather that you admit that Ghana is worse off today. You're right. There's no denying that fact. The question then is why did we get here in the first place? We got here because Mahama decided to get waste Ghana's resources on vote buying in 2012 to satisfy his inordinate desire to be President. And Ghana has never recovered ever since. As for infighting, every political party has its fair share. We all witnessed the FONKAR-GAMES in the NDC during Mills time but Ghana did not die. In fact our economy was better then than today under the "peaceful" Mahama. Some of you can continue to pretend but there can only be one truth, and the truth is the NPP is better than the NDC when it comes to governance. I have a feeling that some of you do feel guilty for voting the NDC because the NDC has become synonymous with failure, backwardness and lack of patriotism. Why else would this respectable writer waste his time doing this propaganda? Why go through so much pains in trying to take people's mind away from the core issues of human existence? God save Ghana.

When any one makes an allegation you expect them to back it up with evidence. True since Nana was elected as the flagbearer a lot of worms have come out of the woodwork to try and destabilise him.
Can that mere fact be used as evidence that Nana has a disruptive effect on the npp or we really need to state the specific activities or actions of Nana.
Adam Mahama was a Nana supporter killed by a certain afoko.Another supporter of Nana was killed in Kumasi.some disgruntled npp guys have constantly been throwing dirt at Nana but in spite of all that he has maintained a dignified silence. What do you want him to do now. Resign to make people like you happy.
Amenyo, your articles is all over the place. What point were you trying to make. I am not sure you know yourself. Can you compare the donkey ruling us to Nana? Why would any normal human being have a problem deciding between these two men . Why do people like you hate Nana.I know it's not because he's Akan.I know it's not because he's npp.I know most of those who hate him don't know why they hate him. The few who know why they hate him are the thieves who are convinced he would be coming after them if elected. Mr amenyo, which groups do you belong to.

If Nana loses this election, then its idiots like you who will be responsible for his loss. People with mentality like you makes me sick. If you really loves Nana and wants him to win, you could have at least write some thing sensible to convince the gentle man to vote for him. People wont for him because of idiot like you. What make you think that every Ghanaian should love Nana and vote for him. The man wants to be convinced so that he will make the right decision and here you are accusing him of hating Nana.

For me, I am surprised that you can even choose to vote for a party that strongly believes that some people in their own country of birth are second-class citizens but they are first-class citizens who should have the preserve of ruling the country. And, for your information, you belong to the second-class group by their estimation. It is like the Jews voting for Adolf Hitler to rule them. Well done.

My friend, please stop this nonsense because we've gone beyond that stone stage. As for this year, majority of Ghanaians will vote on economic issues instead of stupid ethnic sentiments. Playing the victim will not achieve any positive result for the NDC because we are wiser. If we should be honest, I don't think you're innocent of the the things you're accusing the NPP of. In your heart, you despise some tribes in this country more than you hate the devil so remove the log in your eyes first. It is people who form political parties so if you claim the NPP treats some tribes as second class then you're indirectly saying some people from other tribes don't respect you. Maybe you have to be sober and do some little soul searching for answerso because you and I are also guilty.

Whilst most NPP sympathizers talk about governance issues, those from the NDC counter with ethnic sentiments. Majority of the people who vote for NDC do so based on ethnic sentiments.

Maybe the the numbers depend on the amount of resources available to a govt at s particular point in time, which the NDC has been the luckiest. But one thing you overlook is that villagers also pay for health care and utilities so if you cannot afford them despite their availability, then those amenities are almost useless to the villager.

Kofi hold on to your instincts. Any advice or help will come from sycophants who are for or against Akuffo Addo. In my opinion I can see the divisiveness that has engulfed the party continue in government if he wins the presidency. Akuffo Addo never forgives or forgets whoever has wronged him. He is known to have made comments about people who said things about him on radio/tv or on social media that are unsavoury, that present him as a really vindictive person. The divisions will paralyse his government to the detriment of Ghana as a country.

If Nana is not corrupt and will fight and not condone corruption he should
discipline chairman Wontumi and Kennedy Agyepong by suspending them as they have done to Afoko etc. This shows that when Nana becomes president he Will only prosecute only his enemies NDC but not his people, did Kuffour ever prosecute Npp ministers. President Buhari of Nigeria has increased petrol prices 68 percent but during campaign he never said he would increase it. Every opposition party is better but when they win, they Will do the same if not worse, Kuffour,Atta Mills even Mahama. My friend vote for whoever you like, nothing will change. There is nothing new under sun.

Npp is not Nana Addo's property to choose who to punish. Npp has laws and rules so Nana Addo cannot do what he wants in the party.

I'm just behind you in the voting queue. I'll vote NPP parliamentarian but not sure of Nana Addo. I feel too much desperation in him. His posture shows someone pretending to be fighting gif the ordinary people. But I don't see Sir John as an ordinary person. I can imagine what Sir John will do in an Akufo Addo victory. I can imagine same for Wumtomi, Maxwell Kofi Ghana. These people don't exude confidence. They demonstrate barbarism. When Nana says things like "I'm too old to steal", he's speaking for himself and that means years back when he was much younger, his political ambition was to steal. He then tells me Bawumia is a potential thief because when Nana travels to Lome, Bawumia takes over and as young as he is, he will loot the coffers before Nana returns. Again we all know thieves steal for the future security of their children so Nana may not steal for himself in his old age but God his family. How about all the family wealth Nana has squandered over the years in his desperation to be president? Won't he steal to compensate his family? How about the prudential bank loan? So I'm afraid, I can't trust Nana.

Amenyo,
common sense should tell you not to allocate any blame of the NPP internal problems on Nana .
Ask yourself , is it the first time , he is running a Flag Bearer ? The answer is negative, Are these the only Executives , he is worked with ? No is the answer , were there any problems with the other 2 previous Executives ? Again No .
Kofi Amenyo , why are you refusing to think ? You are really funny, you only trying cleverly to portray Nana as evil , we are all grown up now , no propaganda will wash this time around.
