nana is spent and a member of the old crony system of corrupt unscrupulous individuals who are partly to blame for the mess our country is in today . he served under one of the most corrupt presidents ghana has ever seen and up till today has never voiced out his opinion on these matters . imagine our gold being exploited by foreigners who do not care to invest a single penny in our economy , in fact the situation is worse than under outright colonialism . billions of dollars are siphoned out and we are forced into the vicious cycle of borrowing .Better NPP takes a fighter like ken agyapong instead of these fools and forked tongued criminals like nana , kuffuor and alan cash pepeni has no courage to pick competent ministers to rectify these woes nor reshuffle his cabinet to an all inclusive less tribal govt that taps into the strengths of all our people . he had the opportunity to be the best president the country has ever seen but rather chose the most selfish greedy idiots to ruin things further . let me remind him his attitude will lead to a new revolution and war that will have him and kuffuor lying in the gutter in their own blood . we are also the stakeholders of this nation and we say an adamant NO to the corruption and irresponsible attitude of the ruling oligarchy , long live the republic of Akan

Fellow NPP politicians, we all have to
rally behind Nana Akuffo Addo as NDC
rallied behind the Late Atta Mills for
three times flagbearership selection,
though he was severely suffering with cancer to go three times to rescued power for them and they later killed him.

Why can't we team up together and
support Nana Akufrfo Addo for his
third time flagbearship since he Nana
is the only marketable politician
good for NPP to win the power.

Without Nana Akuffo Addo, NPP will
not win the 2016 election. NPP remember united we stand divide we fall.

We all have to team up together and
rally behind Nana Akuffo Addo because he
is the only marketable personality in
our country at the moment who can win very easily the next General Election
to bring power and glory to this country and our party.

Atta Mills went three times before he
won his election, even he was seriously suffering from Cancer but
still all the NDC rallied behind him
until he went for three times, why can't we all shut our mouth and keep
our unflinching support and rally behind Nana?

Only in the NPP will you have such "follow-follow" and "copy-copy" politics. So with all your many PhD holders and Lawyers Nana is the "only marketable personality" you have? Prez Atta Mills was ill but the NDC supported him and he won the elections on his third bid. So in your infantile analysis Nana may be a drug addict but the NPP should support his third bid and will win!

People, if Nana is the only brain in the NPP to be on the 2016 ballot, then the NPP has a serious problem. This guy has too much baggage and accusations that he is yet to address. There is the talk about his drug use, his qualification, etc. He is about the only Lawyer in the country who cannot produce his law certificate, so why bother with him. He did not take the stand at the EC hearings, he always sits back and let other people explain his fuck-ups which is sad. Why not Dr. Bawumia. What is wrong with him being the next flag bearer,-Oh I see, he is a so-called pepeni, eh, you people are a bunch of hypocrites. And yet any Asanteman over 5'8" has a northerner blood running in his veins. Until the NPP realises that we can win in Ashante and Brong Ahafo regions but not the whole of Ghana, it will be a long time before we come to power again. The NDC went for a PEPENI and won. Nana is finished, period.

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog along for company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.
The dog thinks, "Boy, I'm in deep trouble now."
Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this the leopard halts his attack in mid stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees.
"Whew", says the leopard. "That was close. That dog nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard.
So, off he goes. But the dog saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The cat is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."
Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks," What am I going to do now?"
But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet.
And just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's that monkey. I just can never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

NANA IS LIKE THE MONKEY WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHERE HE BELONGS TO AND TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE VICIOUS NPP LEOPARDS.
BUT SADLY THE NDC DOGS ARE WAITING TO SEE HIM CRUSHED BY HIS OWN PEOPLE.

The first step I think NPP should take is to find out why the party that claimed Kufuor's government performed very well lost the 2008 elections, when NPP was in power.
You will be surprised to know that some NPP members worked against the party. How come the party lost areas they had won in the first round in the round-off.

I think Akufo-Addo and his faction in the party are not very good organizers. He messed up big time in the last 2 elections. When they should have cured a mischief swiftly, they refused, but rather waste time on unnecessary issues.

The NPP is more popular than the NDC but their only problem is their mindset of their delegates and some big men in the party who are so steep in tradition. Alan was more popular outside the party but they rather chose Nana to lead them as a form of reward and solidarity. If they had been wise enough, both Mills and Mahama wouldn't have become presidents in Ghana. In fact Nana Addo has sank the party deeper, it's almost difficult today to point to a personality in the NPP who can win against Mahama in 2016. If they elect Alan, he will suffer because Eastern Region will reject him because he has become the easier target to blame for Nana's political woes. Imagine that.... as if only Alan could have won the elections for Nana.

The NDC faced more internal problems but their candidates were more popular than Nana Addo. It beats my imagination why the NPP still wants to force Nana on the party in 2016.

Whether you like it or not, Nana is best for Ghana. He is the only one who can move the nation forward. All his enemies must bow their heads down in shame.

Very sane advice. NPP should focus on the 2016 elections instead of Supreme Court ruling. What is done is done. There is no point crying over spilt milk. We should stop talking about the 2012 elections and let Ghana move on

Some members of NPP have problems with their persona. Apraku, Anane, Afoko, etc are all about to embark on an ego trip. please list the people who have been encouraging you to vie for the positions you are aspiring. Anane must check himself and spare all of us the headache he is about to inflict on us. as for apraku he must just quietly go and look for some work to do and stop deluding himself that he is presidential material. I pray for God's help to endure what we about to suffer from the various self conceited individuals who see themselves as leading members of the party. God help us. Amen

You have to be Presidential to win elections. Just look at any photo of Addo and you see nothing Presidential in him. He is too short, ugly as monkey's closed fits and no quality left in him but old experience. It is true that NPP lacks more educated persons and they can only see through Addo as the lonely survival. With all lack of Presidential qualities, Addo can only rely on the thief(s) that chopped the money they stole for Nana back. If this is hard for any NPP supporter to understand, is too bad and you all have a long way to go.

DEAR READING PUBLIC OF GHANAWEB.COM,
TO BEGIN WITH IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT ANY REASONABLE, ORDINARY SENSIBLE GHANAIAN AND FRIENDS OF GHANA THROUGHOUT THE WORLD KNOW ONR SENSIBLE THING THAT DR.AFARI_GYAN DID NOT INSTRUCT GHANAIAN ELIGIBLE VOTERS TO CAST BALLOT IN FAVOUR OF ANY CANDIDATE THAT HIS DUTY IS TO DECLARE WHAT GHANAIAN ELIGIBLE VOTERS EXPRESSED BY THEIR FREE WILL CASTING THEIR VOTES FOR THEIR FAVOURITES CANDIDATES THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX IN A FREE ,FAIR AND TRANSPARENT ELECTIONS.
THAT THIS IS NOT HIS FIRST TIME PERFORMING HIS CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONS AND THAT IT WAS THE SAME DR.AFARI-GYAN WHO AFTER 2000 AND 2004 ELECTIONS DECLARED THE CHOICE OF GHANAIAN VOTERS AND DECLARED H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR, THE FORMER NPP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AS THE WINNER OF THOSE ELECTIONS. THAT THE ISSUE THEN IS/WAS DID THEY CHANGE DR.AFARI-GYAN AS EC CHAIRMAN?
WHY NOW ALL THESE HUE CRY?
IS IT BECAUSE THE NPP UNDER HON>NANA AKUFO ADDO LOST THE 2008 AND 2012 ELECTIONS?
IN FACT, NPP TO RATHER DO THEIR HOMEWORK WELL AND STOP CALLING THE NAME OF DR>AFARI_GYAN BECAUSE THE CANDIDATE IN 2008 AND 2012 ELECTIONS WON THE SAME TWO (2) REGIONS OUT OF THE TEN (10) REGIONS WHICH HAS SOMETHING EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT SMART TO KNOW THAT IT IS A QUESTION OF THE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND POLITICAL SLOGAN THAT THE PEOPLE OF GHANA ARE NOT PREPARED TO WORK WITH.
FURTHER, THE NPP AS A POLITICAL PARTY THAT ITS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT KENNEDY AGYAPONG DECLARED WAR AGAINST "GAS AND EWES" AND THE PARTY NEVER CONDEMNED SUCH MALICIOUS AND WICKED INTENDED ACT AND ACQUIESCED THINKING GHANAIAN GOOD PEOPLE CANNOT READ BETWEEN THE LINES.
TO PURPORT TO DIVERT THE NPP LOST TO DR>AFARI_GYAN IS JUST WASTE OF TIME AND ALSO A FRUITLESS EXERCISE. THIS IS BECAUSE H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI IS A SMARTER, MORE ENERGIZED, VERY DYNAMIC AND WITH THE NDC "BETTER GHANA AGENDA" PLACED NDC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OVER AND ABOVE THE NPP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HON>NANA AKUFO ADDO.
THAT TO PURPORT ONLY "TO GIVE FREE "SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL" AS POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY IN THE MIDST OF PLACEMENT PROBLEMS TO TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AND EVEN NOT TO TALK ABOUT THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURES AND THE COST ELEMENTS THAT GHANAIANS ARE BETTER ADVANCED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN POLITICAL EUPHORIA AND REALITY".
THAT WHO IS IN GHANA WOULD NOT WANT TO IMPROVE BETTER ON HIS/HER LIFE AND LIVING STANDARDS?
THAT THE REAL ANSWER IS THAT GHANAIANS PREFERRED "BETTER GHANA AGENDA TO MERE SLOGAN OF POLITICAL EUPHORIA".
THEREFORE THERE IS THE URGENT NEED TO REVISIT THE NPP PROGRAM AND TO STOP CALLING THE NAME OF DR.AFARI-GYAN WHO IS A MAN OF PROVEN RECORDS AND INTEGRITY.
THAT TO RECALLED THOSE ERA WHEN THE NPP SUED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF GHANA DURING THE PNDC ERA IN THE CASE OF "NPP VRS. ATTORNEY GENERAL" IN THE CASE OF THE 31ST DECEMBER AND JUNE 4 PUBLIC CELEBRATIONS AND THE SUPREME COURT IN 5-4 MAJORITY RULED THAT BOTH EVENTS TO NOT BE CELEBRATED BY PUBLIC FUNDING AND ALSO NOT TO BE OBSERVED AS PUBLIC HOLIDAYS, THAT H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA FLT.LT.JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS WHO WAS THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA AT THAT PERIOD NEVER CHALLENGED THE COURT DECISION BUT ACCEPTED IT.
THAT TIME I WAS THEN AT THE GHANA SCHOOL OF LAW AND WHEN THE LATE HON. CHAIRMAN OF NPP THEN DA ROCHA AND PROFESSOR KWEKU ANSA-ASARE, WHO WAS THEN MY LECTURER AT THE LAW SCHOOL HAILED H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA FLT.LT>JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS FOR ACCEPTING THE SUPREME COURT VERDICT THAT SOME MEMBERS OF THE NPP ACCUSED THEM THAT THE THEN PRESIDENT BRIBED THEM. THAT LED TO THE LATE HON>DA ROCHA RESIGNATION AS CHAIRMAN OF NPP.
THAT THE NPP TO AVOID HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF OF SOME MEMBERS OF THE PARTY FRIVOLOUS ACCUSATIONS AGAINST WELL INTENDED DIGNIFIED PERSONALITIES.
GOD BLESS GHANA AND LONG LIVE GHANA!
