Proposed relocation of GNPC not advisable – ACEP


Akufu Addo would be a one term president, I predict today. I do not think he has the balls to bring the change we are looking for. The change I'm looking for is what is happening in Tanzania today, I need a president that would press the reset bottom and stop all the waste of resources through corruption and mismanagement.

DECENTRALIZATION IS THE KEY WE NEED TO DECENTRALIZE OUR ADMINISTRATION AND ALSO DECONGEST ACCRA. EVERYBODY HAS TO MOVE TO ACCRA TO GET JOB OR A DECENT LIVING. LET'S SPREAD IT OUT. GHANA IS BIGGER THAN ACCRA.
