Arrogance or no arrogance you will definitely go back into opposition, no doubt about that - it's just a matter of time. Ghana will never be a one party state.

He's seen the light that, Ghanaians are very smart in voting now, and have proven that no politician can buy their conscience irrespective of their ethnic background

I to agree 100% with u guys. Cjear arrogance for Mr Awuku to be talking about a one party state. When in the 60s Nkrumah nursed the idea of a one party state didn't they get him out with the help of the American CIA? But of course it is not just about appointees. It includes party faithfuls who descend heavily on people with divergent opinions using unprintable insults and intimidation. As youth organizer Mr Awuku, please show example.

SA, you have more examples than that. You make it sound as if arogance and comp0lacency are not NDC only archiles heel! The NPP lost 2008 through similar reasons. But now that Ghanaians know what both parties are capable of doing for Ghana, we expect the NPP to be in pole position to chsnge the limited overs. This government should be the first to hand over power internally! AND not just once, but rather a couple of times, especially so when the NDC do not have any identifiable leader to rake them to war, while wer have Bawumiah and Kyerematen still waiting in the wings, even before we talk look round for whom to groom next! All elections into the 2020's should be guaranteed for NPP if our leaders learn from past events. Long to reign over us, NPP!

Sammy, you must apologize for the 'take position ' comment you made while in opposition . This comment has been the motivation of NPP youth to seize tollbooth, NADMO offices, toilets etc last week. While the misbehavior was going on you again said Ghana will become a one party state. This is complete arrogance. Try and apologize for the two comments. Note that those who have their palm kernels cracked for them by benevolence must learn to be humble. Take it or leave it.

YOU CAN NOW SEND GHANA TO SPACE BUT IF PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO PUT FOOD ON THEIR TABLE, PAY THEIR KIDS SCHOOL FEES, HAVE INCREASED LIGHT BILLS WHEN THEY STILL LIVE IN DARKNESS, AND DO NOT HAVE JOBS TO SUSTAIN THEIR LIVES YOU WILL NOT BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO GOVERN THEM. WE ARE GETTING THERE. POLITICS IS NOT LIKE SPORTS WHERE PEOPLE SUPPORT SOCCER TEAMS REGARDLESS OF THEIR TEAMS'SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
