It is UNFORTUNATE but we must COMMEND bawumia and his desperate NPP folks for making time to visit the Cocoa Growing areas to ascertain and RE-ITERATE THE GOOD WORK THE MAHAMA-LED ADMINISTRATION is doing in terms of assisting hard working Cocoa Farmers in these areas.

In 2013,subsidies on 166,807 metric tonnes were given to farmers as against 43,176 metric tonnes in 2008.
In effect, this has moved fertilizer coverage from 8kg per hectare in
2008 to 12kg per hectare as of 2013 and still counting in these Cocoa Growing areas.
A clear indication that the Mahama led- administration has made its mark on these areas already and won't relent in its efforts to support the people who contribute a large chunk to our foreign exchange earnings.

Did I read here NPP will never come to power? That's why I always say these people in the ndc are fools. How can you say this when ndc were in opposition for 8 solid years and they couldn't even pay for their rent and bills. Tell me what policy has the ndc brought to the people of Ghana to merit them being retained? You've collapsed every good policy the NPP brought to help the people and you think Ghanaians are stupid to vote for create, loot and share? You think Ghanaians are stupid to vote for incompetency and insults? Who insult more than the ndc? NDC insult from our past presidents, chiefs, pastors, opposition leaders, opinion leaders, Doctors, engineers, teachers, nurses, business men even to kayayees who in Ghana hasn't got insults from the ndc?From Koku Anyidoho, Fiifi Kwettey, Solomon Nkansah, Kwaku Boahen, Kobby Acheampong, Namoale Amasah, Sam George Nettey, Fred Agbenyo, Kojo Twum Boafo, Kwakye Ofosu, Lawson, Asiedu Nketiah, John Mahama, Anita de Sooso, Allotey Jacobs to ndc serial callers. Name only one person in the NPP who insult? if you are able to do that , God will forgive you of all your sins but if not but just equalization then the Most High God has no time for liars like you than to deal with such people. Thou shall not say false witnesses against thy neighbour.THE CURSES YOU ARE RENDERING ON OTHERS WILL COME BACK TO YOU IN THOUSAND FOLDS. Return to sender .

NEVER TRUST AKUFFO ADDO

The late Prof. Albert Adu Boahen led the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 1992 general elections, but lost to the NDC's Flt. Lt. J.J. Rawlings. In spite of the fact that the NPP boycotted the Parliamentary Elections, and documented the 1992 Polls as a "Stolen Verdict", Prof. Adu Boahen was refused a second chance as the NPP's flag-bearer in 1996. This was even against the backdrop that changes had occurred in the electoral system. Mr. J.A. Kufuor, who succeeded Prof. Adu Boahen as the NPP's flag-bearer also lost to President Rawlings at the 1996 Polls.

However, Nana 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 second time in succession"

Fellow delegates, we are in 2014 preparing for another NPP Congress and general elections. The same Nana Addo, who had opposed Kufuor's second attempt at the flag-bearership in 1998, led the NPP in Election 2008. This was after Alan Kyerematen had stepped down for him in 2007. In his Acceptance Speech, Nana Addo had this to say; "I have to begin by thanking all my colleagues in this epic contest. I am humbled that among this formidable array of political and intellectual talent that has been before you, you have decided to confer the mandate on my modest person. I am grateful to you and want to let you know I will do anything within my power not to let you down, so that the decision you have made here will bare fruits for us next year. For my younger brother, Alan, you have given me a good run for my money. Let me assure you that the NPP leadership has always been in succession. I will hand over the button to you in 2016 after my presidency".

Folks, the NPP was in power during the 2008 elections, and in spite of the incumbency advantage, and solid economic record, Nana Addo lost to a 'weaker' candidate like Prof. Mills. In addition, he reduced the NPP's winnable regions from six (6) to two (2), with a percentage vote of 49.13%. Yet, this painful electoral defeat did not even push the party's delegates to refuse Nana Addo a second chance in 2010 as he had earlier on advocated. In his Acceptance Speech, Nana Addo remarked; "I shall deliver the Presidency unto this great political party of ours and I promise you all, this time I shall not disappoint". The 2012 elections came to pass and as usual, Nana Addo failed to fulfill his promise of taking the NPP into the Flagstaff House. His percentage votes decreased from 49.13% to 47.74% with a struggling two (2) regions.

Fellow Kukrudites, we are in 2014 preparing for another flag-bearership contest and the twice-defeated presidential candidate of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo, instead of apologizing to the fraternity for his failure, and bowing out of politics had this to say at his campaign launch; "Let's think about the future of our party, let’s think victory 2016. The NPP cannot afford to lose the 2016 elections. Give me one more chance".

Now, let's do away with emotions and question Akufo-Addo's honesty. Is the man trustworthy at all? Is he capable of winning presidential elections? Does he have the capacity to attract floating votes? What is he going to do differently to convince the Ghanaian electorate to vote for him in 2016? Is it due to the so-called massive endorsements by the top hierarchy of the party? Are those endorsing Nana Addo new Ghanaian voters? How do we win general elections with the same crowd, same message, same running-mate, and same candidate? How do you win elections without giving any recognition to the floating voter? If the floating voter is non-existent, what will be the basis for Akufo-Addo's campaign? Is he going to sell his message to ghosts or trees since the rest of the voters belong to either the NDC, CPP, PNC, or PPP? Assuming he succeeds in even convincing a member of the NDC to vote for the NPP, how would Akufo-Addo describe such a vote?

From the above, it is obvious Nana Addo has woefully failed the NPP and thus, must not be given a third time chance. The signs are clear on the walls that he would lose to president Mahama in 2016. Let's avoid this imminent defeat by presenting Alan Kyerenaten in 2016. Alan's attributes - vision, achievements, humility, posture, physique, charisma etc far outweigh those of John Mahama, and I believe that will be the weapon to defeat Mahama.

God bless Ghana! God bless the NPP!! God bless Kufuor!!!

This Bawumia is just plain stupid,very stupid and ignorant,he thinks cocoa growing is like corn growing,the last time I suggedted somebody takes him to cocoa farms to know show him how cocoa trees look like and how it is grown and he bought the idea but instead of learning how the process works he is ignorantly accusing the government that has nothing to do with how the farmers grow their cocoa.

How is this idiot going to increase the cocoa production by 500 tons he ignorantly talked about,does he think cocoa is like corn that takes few months to grow,is he aware the old cocoa trees known as Tetteh Quarshie that yield largely once a year as compare to the one they call Agric that yield twice a year are dying and people who replace them do so over the years some of which may have just started bearing fruits if even they were planted in the first year of the government,how is he going to increase the cocoa production,is he going to smuggle the cocoa beans to Ghana to boost production?

For the sake of democracy and politics fools like you can sit behind a computer and insult people who you will never be able to achieve the success they have already chalked in life.

If the government has nothing to do with how the famers grow their cocoa the government has failed. It is the responsibility of government to teach the farmers better and more efficient farming techniques or else what is the point giving these farmers free fertilizer etc, it means the government does not even know whether these farmers use the fertilizer appropriately. Thanks to a computer and freedom of speech any idiot loser can make idiotic comments and get away with it. Little minds cannot see what great minds see let alone understand their level of thinking, Stupid fool Corney think about your miserable self. Thanks to Ghanaweb you too can talk some.

He has plans and his plans are one which is lifting Ghana out of the mess your party created. Open your eyes and your life will be transformed.

Her life is between listening to the whisper of God to do the right thing for salvation or follow ndc to doom. NDC in opposition will be the end, its just a little time . The Rawlingses are ready to take the party and merge it with NDP to become NDP instead of the ndc so as to get rid of the thieves and fools who have used ndc as a conduit to steal and misbehave. MARK it on the wall that ndc will be no more in opposition so we all live to see where you fools will be. Rawlings want a decent party to be attractive to competent and well to do people who can manage the party even in opposition not thieves and lazy fools like you, who only hate successful people so insult them to get a daily bread.

Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia clutching his award

Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia, vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has emerged the Muslim Political Personality of the Year 2016 during a maiden award ceremony to honour Muslims who have excelled in their areas of discipline.

The ceremony, which took place at the National Theatre last Friday, had important personalities from the Islamic community in attendance – the National Chief Imam Sheikh Usman Nuhu Sharubutu, being the most prominent.

Imams from various parts of Accra, members of the Council of Muslim Chiefs and a host of people from the faith graced the occasion which the organizers said it intended to encourage others to emulate the good examples of the award winners.

When other nominees in the Personality of The Year category were mentioned, a deafening applause greeted Dr. Bawumia’s name. When his name was mentioned as the winner there was no surprise.

Upon receiving the award and after the deafening applause had subsided, he paid obeisance to the gathering, especially the National Chief Imam and said, “I am in politics to ensure that education is made available to all, water provided for all Ghanaians, heatlh care brought to every Ghanaian and employment given to all Ghanaians.” This was also followed by an applause of approval, especially when he saluted his wife Samira for the support she had rendered so far.

The programme – “Muslim Achievers Award” – was put together by a group, Sukura Concept, to according to it, “recognize the achievements of Muslims in Ghana and are contributing to the national development effort.”

The categories for which awards were won included the Media Personality, Sports Personality of The Year, Lifetime Achievement Award, Social Activist of The Year, among others.

This is an exercise in mediocrity, a waste of precious time and a clear indication that NPP is desperate to come to powers. The Cocoa farmers know that under the current NDC government they have enjoyed more benefits then they can get under the NPP. For instance the Producer Price of Cocoa for the 2014/2015 Cocoa Season stands at GH¢345 per bag of 64 kg gross. The biggest increase in Producer Price of Cocoa for farmers. The Government has also helped rehabilitate most of the cocoa farms of farmers and provided them with over 20 million improved seedlings. Obviously cocoa farmers are enjoying under the NDC government.

Bawumia has lost his way. He should have headed towards the North to pick shea-nuts because he doesn't know anything about the planting, harvesting, drying or even weighing of cocoa.

The sad thing in Ghana is that most of the media houses have been bought by John Mahama and his corrupt NDC govt. This article clearly shows that the Herald is a rented NDC newspaper. This news makes no sense. So the Herald wants Ghanaians to believe that Dr Bawumia could not introduce himself to the farmers when he reached their village. Or maybe the farmers haven't heard of Bawumia's name all the past 8 years huh? This is absolutely rubbish; it's funny! Mahama is a thief and liar. He is clueless and incompetent president and needs to be yanked from the seat of the president before it's too late! Ghanaians are well informed, after all the SC petition hearing in 2012; the people are ready to vote Mahama out in November.

IF HE WANTS TO CHASE THE VOTES OF THE HARDWORKING COOCOA FARMERS, THEN, HE NEEDS TO BE ADVISED TO RETIRE TO THE COCOA PRODUCING VILLGES TO HELP THEM HARVEST THEIR COVCOA AND DRYING.

A POLITICAL DECEIT.
