DR BAWUMIA: _____-----International rating agency Moody’s has not upgraded Ghana’s sovereign credit rating contrary to assertions by the Mahama administration to that effect, the vice-presidential nominee of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said. Speaking at the launch of the NPP’s 2016 manifesto at the International Trade Fair Centre in Accra on Sunday, 9 October, Dr Bawumia said Ghana’s sovereign credit rating got downgraded to (B-) under President Mahama despite having oil revenue at its disposal, from (B ) positive (without oil under the NPP). Moody's Investors Service recently affirmed the Government of Ghana's issuer and senior unsecured rating at B3 and changed the outlook to stable from negative. Dr Bawumia, however, noted that nothing had changed except the revised outlook. He said, in fact, international rating agencies like Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s now have basically the same credit rating for Ghana. “The recent revision of Ghana’s outlook from B- negative to B- stable; that is the equivalent of B3” with the revision of the outlook from negative to stable, “has resulted in a misinterpretation by this NDC government and President Mahama that Ghana’s credit rating has been upgraded.” “This is in fact not the case. Moody’s did not upgrade Ghana. Ghana’s rating under Moody’s is still B-. It is only the outlook that has been revised and that is not equivalent to a change in rating or a rating upgrade. “Sometimes one wonders whether they don’t read or they don’t understand. So, let me give Mr President a free piece of advice: ‘Mr President, please desist from embarrassing yourself by stating that Moody’s has upgraded Ghana.’ Your economic management team should explain that difference to you. “The Mo Ibrahim 2016 report on governance shows that on virtually all key development indicators such as safety, rule of law, human rights, economic opportunities, infrastructure, business environment, human development, health and public management, Ghana is worse off today than it was 10 years ago,” Dr Bawumia said.

Nana Addo calls John Mahama "incompetent", but competent Nana Addo filed a motion "Tsikata vs the President" instead of "Tsikata vs the Republic" as the Attorney General & Minister for Justice. Ex President Kuffuor could not stand the embarrassment so he quickly switched him to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to avoid further damage to his government's reputation. So much for "Mr Competent Nana Addo", we have not forgotten this atrocious blunder a first year law student would not make......

Even saying that you are not a braggart tells the foolish and useless arrogant wee smoker that you are. Tell us your achievememts and we would take you serious. Where is your law practising certificate? What about the death of your wife? And the drillshipt money? A foolish and hopeless failed old man. A violent criminal. Tell us about the Serbians and the South Africans that you brought into this country to kill and main innocent Ghanaians, and for what? Useless denture smelling wee smoker. Tell us about the diplomatic passports that found their ways into the hands of your drug trafficking family members? A useless hopeless mucus smelling man.All die be die indeed. Come December, you will see your end.And if you dare again, not even vultures will appreciate your carcass.Foolish useless man.

He wouldn't lie for anything, but wouldn't come clean of his Middle Temple saga. Question again to you Nana is' are you a qualify lawyer? Please come clean on that and some of us would reconsider if it is worth looking at you again. Now, just tell me how you would answer this question from a BBC journalist as Ghana's head of state when you come visiting the UK. Mr president! Are you a lawyer? Which law school did you attend in the UK? And if it is the Middle Temple as you claim, why is your name not enlisted among past students? Are you sure you are a lawyer?. How would you answer these questions? If you think you can avoid them just wait till you fly to Heathrow Airport as Ghana's head of state which of cause you wouldn't be, but just in case. Hope you spare us the embarrassment.

For twice, Ghanaians did not choose you, Akufo-Addo, for our President because we knew you were not as qualified as your Opponents that won.
That was no 'wrong' to be rectified. You had nothing to convince the Electorate on those occasions that you were more qualified than those candidates who won over you. So, the Electorate did not err in sidelining you.
If, for other reasons, people, now, would have to choose you on your third attempt to be the President, just be humble and thankful, and quit that arrogant posturing of charging us that we were wrong the first two times we refused to choose you for the Ghanaian Presidency.
Meanwhile, the Election you claim is yet another opportunity God has given Ghanaians to 'right the wrong' of not choosing you in the earlier instances is yet to be held. In spite all your over-exuberant hope of winning this time around, you have no guarantee that you would win.
So, Ghanaians would have then, again, foolishly ignored your all-knowing entreaties to choose you for their President, right? It is such kind of utterances from you that irks many a Ghanaian to repeatedly brush you aside for someone else for our President. The streak of arrogant claim to your illusive entitlement to the Ghanaian Presidency is discernible, however subtle you try to bury it.
Would you also have us believe that when we chose Kufuor over you in the 2000 NPP Primaries that led to his ascension to the Presidency Ghanaians committed some 'wrong' against you, or the Nation?
You are doing yourself a huge disservice by that attitude. No wonder some have already branded you as Ghana's Donald Trump..without Trump's wealth, of course.
Long Live Ghana!!!
