An eye opening observation

"Today you hold a mobile phone and dial anyone whose contact you have from anywhere in Ghana. In those days I had to take trotro from Juapong to Akosombo, just to make a call.

You and I do not have to do that anymore because we had a Communications Minister called John Dramani Mahama. The man is an achiever. He has the track record. Until he gets result for his people, he does not give up.

Compare this to a man who also had a chance to change your life as Attorney General. Monies took flight from our diplomatic missions without a trace. Our national asset, the Drill Ship 511 was sold, the money looted and shared with him benefitting through a lease deal with a bank that oversaw the disbursement; lease deal overpriced by more than $5 million.

His ineptitude reflected in the titling of cases he took to court and the desperate attempts to corrupt the justice system through land grab/share and even the use of terror.

To date, Akufo-Addo cannot speak to Ghanaians without pro or anti-tribal comments because his eyes are fixated on and thoughts dominated by tribal paradigms. He understands Ghana through tribal lenses. He used his position to fortify his tribal hegemony agenda until Prof Mills victory denied him the opportunity."

You have yourself to blame if this Hitler-in-the-making gets near power. Don't say I never told you.
