    Who do you refer to as the competent dictator? Akufo Addo? He is a dictator, but he is not competent. How did he fare as attorney general? He lost case after case until president Kufuor removed him and put him in charge of fo ...

    I agree, a competent dictator like Gadhafi is better than corrupt and incompetent Mahama who claims to be a social democrat.

    But who says Nana Addo is a dictator?

    Honestly, I do not suscribe to President Mahama and his NDC apologists political branding. They only want dictator and intolerant tags to register on the electorates mind.

    Your youth organiser George Boateng says Mahama is incompetent. Your founder J.J Rawlings says more than 60 percent of NDC Ministers are thieves. What do you say about that?

    In fact, those of you are in support of Mahama on his dictator comment are too naive and lack reflective thinking. This is because there is no way we could go back to dictatorship so far as we have our constitution.

    If you understand what a dictator is, you would not describe any dictator as competent. Mahama is such an effective communicator that the tag of "Dictator" is hurting the NPP and bleeding badly. But 'na who cause' am. Intole ...

    Nothing you have said negates the fact that Nana Akuffo-Addo is a dictator.

    Wherein lies Nana Addo's competence?

    What did he do as a minister?

    He cannot even lead his own party, let alone our country.
