This, for me, is one of the most INTELLIGENT statements I have heard in recent times. I congratulate the Vice President for this warning. When this useless polls go into the head of this NPP brigands, they think they already in the Flag Staff House, and when they lose their fooling will start. But they must be aware that we are ready for them. They should try and and see fire.

No disrespect to Nana Akufo-Addo but he is too old and lacks critical ideas to the development of Ghana and for that matter, Africa as a continent. The world is advancing with information technology and Africa must catch up as quickly as possible. This means that Ghana or Africa needs young and vibrant leaders with fresh ideologies to unite and form stronger ties among the people in other to combat diseases and security issues facing the continent.
Nana Akufo-Addo's character and chastisement infused with a 1st and 2nd world war mentality would harm Ghana so badly that it will retrogress everything Dr Kwame Nkrumah and all those great African leaders fought for.
A great leader needs to be seen inspiring, motivating, educating and helping the people to better their lives and not inciting hate and dividing the people with bunch of lies in the name of politics. Considering Nana Akufo-Addo's age one would think that he would come up with strategic plans to better the lives of the old in society and strengthen the pension scheme but he has never ever mention the word pension nor even scheme.
Leadership is action infused with positive results and Nana Akufo-Addo lacks credibility to be a leader for Ghana and for that matter Africa. Ghana be wise and vote for a young and a vibrant leader with a great integrity to bring strategic development for all Africans.
I pray for mentality change and long live for Ghana. May GOD bless us all!

Your own Mahama says some scientific study and polls are predicting he will win. However, this scientific study he is relying on when subjected and juxtapoaed to the reality on ground, says he has already lost the election. This is what is fueling Mahama's desperation and violence which Ghanaians are witnessing all over the country by the very few supporters of John Mahama.
So you, Amissah-Arthur should tell him that Ghanaians say, he should, he must and he will step aside. That scientific study or poll is a sham concocted to get him to part ways with money he has looted from Ghanaians to run his campaign.
Mahama is losing, will lose and has lost. There's no need for him to be violent and desperate. He has lost and must leave office in peace.

There are always polls ahead of elections,and there will always be polls. Why is the veep against pools. If the polls has indicated the NDC will win,he will not be complaining.

This is the most hopeless statement ever, from a vice president. When the polls favour NDC, then it's okay. But when all 3 reliable polls reveal that Nana Akufo-Addo and NPP will win, then its dangerous huh? Mahama recently declared that scientific polls (God only knows that unknown poll) says that he is in the lead, why didn't you express your fears about that? A complete liar and a hypocrite like Amissah-Arthur should not be taken serious. He's a bogus veep.

STUPID Amissah-Arthur, your own boss, Mahama, said that the surveys are in his favour so he is going to win the elections. But now that you have seen that almost all the surveys favour Nana Addo, you are talking NONSENSE. When EIU predicted victory for NDC in 2008 and 2012, you did not talk and NDC won but now you and STUPID Kofi Adams are crying. FOOLS. ANIMALS.

There is nothing wrong in OPINION POLLS. The problem is how it is handled. The V.P. means well. It's not just The Presidential but at all levels. And we know the level of literacy in most rural areas.

Does Amissah Arthur knows what is going on in the NDC? It's because everybody in the NDC has been given stolen 4x4s that he has taken one to make noise. Just shut up!

The VP must be living in a stone age and completely out of tune with modern day dynamics. Polls are n integral part of democracy and the free world. Are world bank, IMF, Transparency International, Standards and Poor surveys not polls. In 2012, ndc did not condemn Ben Ephson polls that predicted an NDC victory. The ndc should understand that, no matter how benevolent or malevolent no political party can rule for more than 2 terms. The NDC is now brain dead and dangerous to Ghana`s survival.

Mr. Vice President were you living in space when Ben Ephson, Akwasi Pratt and co. were predicting for NDC in the past elections? Are you now complaining about the polls because things are not favoring NDC?Shame on you the hypocrates living in Ghana. If something goes to your favor then you keep quiet, but if it goes to the opposition is bad. I wished you were in opposition to witness the bad things your NDC govrnment is doing, they would have caused fire to burn Ghana. You will soon be in opposition so get your self prepared, corrupt government. You people(NDC) are now confused so you speak any how. Please tell your president John Mahama,NDC folks and EC officials to do the right thing for peace to prevail, but don't worry about the polls;It is a fact NPP is winning, you can't turn it.

Fellow Ghanaians it is now clear,based on the complain from the vice president, that John Mahama and NDC together with the EC Charlotte Osei are ready to rig the elections. He is saying this to cover something so that people do not follow the obvious polls. They(NDC) are afraid that if NPP wins and the EC changes it to favor NDC there will be conflict which will surely happen; for where there is no fairness, there is no peace.Mr. Vice president if you want peace,it is better to advise your people now to accept a defeat if it occurs.
