I told you it was a PR work by the NDC caucus in Graphic,they felt the pressure on John Mahama was too much and they wanted somebody to save him.

We knew it was NDC propaganda......

Discerning Ghanaians knew it was the handwork of the stealers, who were bent to create enimity between the great Ghanaian who turned a highly indebted poor country(HIPC)into a middle income country within 6 years without oil revenues and the suffering masses of Maaame/Daaavi Ghana.

But alas, they have been stripped of the last gramme of honour left on their sorry selves with this rebuttal.

How can a nationalist and true blue democrat call on his fellow countrywo/men not to criticise a criminal and stealing govt, which for the first time in the history of politics all over the world, is allowing institutions in the country to demand fees for the usage of roads in its vicinity ?

Will those barbaric and uninitiated Ghanaians, who for the sake of their stupidity, keep wasting their votes on the NDC stealers wake up from their exhaustive slumber and save Ghana and Ghanaians from the hands of these create, loot and share brigade ?

OH GHANA. IF THE DAILY GRAPHIC HAS ALSO JOINED THE NDC PROPAGANDA PAPERS, HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT PERFORM WELL AND MOVE GHANA FORWARD. AS I ALWAYS SAY, TRAINED DOGS I HAVE SEEN IN BRITAIN ARE MORE SENSIBLE THAN HALF THE POPULATION OF GHANAIANS. GHANAIANS ARE FOOLS. THEY ARE EASILY CONVINCED WITH A TOKEN OF CEDI. THE FACT MUST BE SAID, IF BRITAIN IS LEFT IN THE HANDS OF BLACKS, THE COUNTRY WILL DEFINITELY COLLAPSE. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING IN GHANA. THE COUNTRY IS LEFT IN THE HANDS OF NORTHERNERS AND IT IS COLLAPSING. THIS IS A FACT.

Please you are no more in power and don't tell us that you are an angel. You built that hotel in your first term in office. At times NPP wants to tell Ghanaians thta K4 has been the best Prez in Ghana history. Why? He also has his faults, HIPIC, who did that? K4. Pleas let us continue to suffer from where you left. JJ Rawlings did better than most of you lot when PNDC was in power. How could you steal money. You will be sent to tribunal and jailed. K4 did well by jailing Tsikata and Kwame Pepra. If K4 had campaigned for Nana we will not have complained. He wanted Allan Cash bcos of this Ashanti arrogance, Y3 gye Y3n MMAN. They think Ghana belongs to them. Nonsense.

sometimes I had to set aside the little respect I have for this man and say my mind on certain things he spew out when he gets the chance. I wish that it was not true that he said what is on the net at the moment but if he really said so then there is certainly something seriously affecting his mind. is he saying that during those horrible eight years he was in charge of affairs, milk and honey were flowing for all Ghanaians?was it not he and his family, friends and cronies who were riding high on horses? in his time as a president of the country, he was able to buy an expensive 5 star hotel beside other shopping malls and expensive mansions. his other political associates sold to themselves the landed properties of the Ghana airways including government lands and bungalows. so many bad and dirty deals were committed by him and his political associates. Ghanaians have not forgotten the dirty deals they did with our oil exploration and what not. at this advanced age he clocked, Ghanaians expect to hear only the truth from him and not to seize the least situation and do up/npp politics. he has had enough of what he wanted for himself and family, he just stop irritating most of us with his politics of exploiting the hard working Ghanaians to satisfy their selfishness!

Kufour and his Office has to be bold to stand by what he said. It is of a truth that the world economy is in trouble thus affecting all nations in some ways though there may be differences through which some economies are affected yet that does not mean people of the opposition should resolve to wishing the NDC government to fail.

Kufour has been travelling all over and besides he is aquainted with the situations of the present world economy, and he does not just want to see things the political way hence his tone towards govt critics is honestly not in favour of the stand the NPP has taken politically.

The idea of using political fallacies to undermine the present government is the area Kufour is showing concern.

His past experience of being there, in government is what is helping him to see beyond that Mahama is not intentionally creating the situation that had put our economy the way we see it.

Presently, the only major problem Kufour may have with the NPP is that, his truthful acceptance of certain realistic things about the Mahama government in a positive way would not be cheerish nor be accepted by the NPP, a situation where he will later run away from the truth even though he might have said that, just to save his skin from the usual wicked and evil attack on the people within the NPP who speak their positive minds openly.

What political parties fail to be aware of is that politics ia a moral issue which calls for cooperation among us knowing that our nation is poor and can only make it through unity and not division and hatred.

The parties in question should politically understand where we are heading to or why they form political parties?

Kufour at certain point in time has realised that politics is not just criticing, but helping through coperation to find the real solution to our national issues that had placed us in the limbo.

I expect Kufour to stand by his words, because he had not said anything wrong, instead he has moved step forward in the right direction in a matured political sense.

Political criticism is not the only way of playing party politics, but criticism with cooperative goal is the best way of playing politics since that in no way call for hatred and the underming of the one being criticised.

Criticism based on coperation helps find good solution to our national problems so that at the end our children that we love will have a better future through our united efforts of achieving development.

This is what I believe Kufour was looking forward to, and wish the NPP people and all Ghanaians will understand.

Ex-President Kufuor is a very confused man. One moment he says one thing, the next moment he says something entirely different. It is about time he realises that he has ceased to be relevant in the political direction of this country, and he should take a back seat and let the people he groomed in the NPP do the talking. He is not acting like the true elderly statesman that people perceive him to be, rather he is fuelling the divisive politics of the day which is not helping this country to move forward. JAK, please take a back seat and enjoy your retirement if you have nothing positive to say about anyone or anything but yourself. Ya bre wo....
