  It is sad and the Bible is really true "For lack of knowledge, my people perish - Hosea 4:6".
  
  There are a lot of ignorant people and fools in great society who cannot understand what is good because they are fully mind controlled. These are the people who help criminal foreign agents create poverty and hardship by enslavement in Ghana because they lack wisdom and divine knowledge. The sad thing is that these are the one who like speaking or try to rush into politics.

  Nana no matter the number of your promises with your pathological liar - Bawumiah inventing figures to score cheap political points will win you the Presidency.
  You big fall from the Jubilee park platform in 2007 was the sign of your rejection to become President in Dr Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana. You may seem popular in the eyes of the electorates however, they don't trust to vote for you.
  The bitter shock of your entire life is coming on, on December 07, 2016.
  If I was one of your Prophets I will seek the interpretation of your fall and advice you to step down and retire from politics.
  Look at how close you came to the Presidency in 2008 and failed.
  I pray you will be able to withstand your defeat on that day of reckoning by the Electoral Commissioner - Mrs Charlotte Osei.

  In line with the Energy for All programme, electricity supply has been extended to 2,861 communities in the last three years bringing total access to electricity in Ghana to 76% which is second only to South Africa in sub-Saharan Africa. Under the Second Millenium Compact, a significant percentage of the US$537 million will be invested in the restructuring and strengthening of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to position it to meet the needs of consumers and run more efficiently.

  What a fantasy!Please, those who want to leader this dear country of ours must get serious? For God sake which government on the planet has eradicated unemployment? This is shows that Nana is throwing everything at Ghanaians for power. An piece of advise to Nana this type of pronouncement alienate independent minded and floating voters like some of us. Please revise your campaign tactics because that won't win you votes. That your plan cannot be realised under this sun. So come again with a realistic and attainable plan.

  On paper it looks good and sounds good. But as is well known it is one thing writing it out and another actually implementing it. The reality is that once you get into the saddle and come face to face with the problems, the priority becomes finding solutions to the numerous problems, and if you have a labour force that decides to be unreasonable and at the least instance decides to go on industrial action, then you have had it. 4 or 8 years is such a short time, and very soon time is up and you realise that you have hardly touched upon the lofty ideas and plans like those enumerated by Akufo Addo.
