Sir John sometimes amazes me with his pronouncements. No wonder you are a Ghanaian politician. How do you probe these guys because the party is broke? In Ghana, every party in opposition goes broke. It happened to NDC too but now they are being accused of having a $20m office. Sir John, you did not hear NPP was broke when Kuffour too was in office. We also did not hear NDC broke when Jerry was in office and Mahama is in office now.

The 2012 down fall of Nana was partly because of the way this Sir John guy talks anyhow and it will be good for Nana and his team to ask him to just keep his loud mouth shut.

Every statement of his is stinky political counter productive.

This inability to bridge divisions is the bane of Nana Addo. You get the feeling that you are either for him or against him. When JAK contested and won in 2000 Nana was invited into government and given 2 big positions. I have a feeling that if Nana had won in 2008 he was not going to offer Alan a post in his administration. He needs to realize that outside the party people have immense affection and respect for Kyeremateng and to win he needs him on board. Sadly, with people like Sir John, Boakye Agyarko and Ken Agyapong around him, this will not happen and here is one of the reasons why I feel Nana will be beaten again in 2016.

We are least surprised. This is typical NPP way of doing things, vindictiveness and violence!! No wonder Ghana is not making any progress with this NLM, UP, PP and NPP attitude. Ghanaians have every right to express their views or disagree with others irrespective of their political affiliations. Democracy must be real, it must be practical and not by theory or hypothesis. Threats and intimidations would simply not work if we need to work together as one nation. It is therefore, irresponsible for owusu afriyie to proudly trumpet to the world that Afoko and Agyepong would be dealt with after Akufo-Addo's victory as flagbearer of the NPP. Thank God his possible victory ends at NPP. Ghanaians are wiser and will only vote and elect a responsible, civil, good character, discipline, law-abiding, intelligent non-tribal, a person with humility, assertive leadership and have Ghana at heart as paramount. We do not need a drug addict, a fake, violent and a tribal war monger.

This is Sir John at his best in displaying his utter lack of tact. His assertion sounds more like a hint of his vendetta on the Afoko team.

Let him go around blurting and bleating about how he and his cohorts would deal with others in the Party after Akufo-Addo gets his third chance as a flagbearer, I bet that would also be the last chance that camp would ever have any shot at the Presidency. And it would be a colossal third-time flop at that, I may add.

I wonder why Akufo-Addo's camp cannot see the wisdom in using tact and finesse to win the hearts and minds of folks, instead of employing brawny coercion and intimidation.

What is the purpose of fighting so hard at the Primary level, intra-Party, only to shoot one's own foot for the larger prize, the Presidency?

Cannibalizing his own Party's core support erodes any conceivable possibility that Akufo-Addo would ever live to be a President of this Nation. It is just that simple. The MPs and Regional Party leaders the Akufo-Addo camp may be buying off do not necessarily carry the majority votes in their constituencies to be offered to Nana on silver plater. So, let that camp keep 'dissing' all others in NPP.

A word to the wise is enough. But, on a second thought, is this Sir John that wise to get it?

Long Live Ghana!!!

How can any level-headed person take such a person seriously! He talks before thinking about what to say. Akufo Addo is in deep trouble again for 2016 with these people talking for him. Remember your party members alone cannot make you win elections. Foating voters are quietly listening and watching thew way you guys are tearing one another apart. Don't blame anybody in 2016.

If the NPP talk about burrying all differences as candidates are chosen for unity and smooth operation then they should open their eyes to see the effects of Sir John's jealousy.On papper he is supposed to be an ex-officio executive member here.There is nothing wrong bidding for Nana but do it with sanity to avoid provoking those who support other candidates.Stop deceiving yourself thinking that the only way to unity is when Nana is elected.Ask Sir John whether Alan has ever wronged him personally to deserve such hate?Afoko and Agyapong gave you enough room to operate though you comitted lots of blunders.What happens if passengers keeps provoking the driver of the very car they are travelling in?

My dear delegates, before you cast your vote come
Oct 18 to select a leader for our dear party, lets
remember the importance of change as spelt out by
our dear two times flagbearer Nana Addo Danquah in
Sunyani congress in 1998.
Akufo-Addo capitalized
on Kufuor’s defeat and equally
demanded a change of flag-bearership.
To him, it was morally wrong for the
NPP delegates to retain Kufuor because,
Prof. Adu Boahen was never given a
second chance. Below are some of the
statements Nana Addo made at the NPP
Congress at Sunyani in 1998 that have
been captured in the electronic and
print media:
• “I am aware that there are some of
you who are nervous about the
prospects of change in our leadership.
We changed leader in 1996 and again
this year, some of us are canvassing for
another change for 2000. I have been
through these matters with you at your
homes. Change in 1996 improved our
performance – the vote of our
candidate more than doubled from 1.2
million in 1992 to 2.8 million in 1996;
our percentage of vote went from 30%
in 1992 to 40% in 1996; the number of
constituencies in which we had
majorities increased from 43 in 1992 to
62 in 1996. So on all fronts, we
improved our performance. It is not
true then that change hurts. On the
contrary it improves our standing.”
Nana Addo continues;
• “I call on members of the party to
embrace change in leadership of the
party. Such changes are far from
harming the fortunes of the party”.
• “Change improves the chances of
political parties as a new face eventually
means new ideas, new methods and
new strategies”.
He further asserts;
• “Any candidate elected as the NPP’s
flag-bearer has already secured 30% of
the total valid votes. Failure to garner
the remaining 20% plus 1 means the
candidate has failed, and therefore
must be changed.”
On his view on floating voters, Nana
Addo said;
• “The NPP must elect a leader who has
appeal outside the party and could
reach out to the larger electorate and
that if it fails to do this, power could
once again elude it” – DAILY GRAPHIC,
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8,1998. Page 11.
• “Whereas political parties have been
known to have succeeded in winning
power through changes of their leaders,
there has been no instance in the
history of democratic politics where a
leader failed to win power at the first
attempt, succeeds when presented the the second.
This time round, its not even the second. We cant
continue to be in opposition.WE NEED A CHANGE
AND THE TIME IS NOW!!!
