  Bagbin is completely out of his mind and it is only in the Northern
  region that he can speak to that gathering and go free. Many irresponsible and thought deficiency individuals have been condemning Akufo Addos's proposal of 1-village, 1-dam to my surprise in this 21st century. A land project which is doable and this useless Bagbin is spewing nonsense to his constituents.
  
  In the early '60's late US President John F. Kennedy had a vision to tell his country men to put man on the moon and what happened? If human beings are able to walk on the moon why can't this simple land project not be done? I pity weaker brains who will buy into this stupidity of Bagbin.
  
  Going back in the early history of human race, when knowledge was not abound as it is today, the Bible tells us crystal clear that Patriarch Abraham was able to sink a bole hole which he drank and fed his flocks from it. Present day Ghanaian folks who live in our villages sit and wait for the government to come and provide them with bole holes and even beg for a place of convenience. Are we not ashamed of ourselves for not using our God's given brains to better our life?
  
  Folks, it is time we start using our brains and stop these silly negativity which won't do us any good but rather deepen the poverty in the society. Right thinking individuals across the nation should condemn Bagbin's comment and his constituents should vote him out and bring in an individual who will work to accelerate improvement of people's life. He is a dead wood.

  I cannot all the more agree that we indeed have very shallow minds in our body politics.The great Prime Minister of Great Britain,Winston Churchill once said' if you the wise will not be interested in politics fools will take over and rule you'.I have often looked at this funny character,Bagbin who have virtually metamorphosed into a feared demagogue to be worshiped particularly in the north and especially in the upper west region with a mixture of amusement and amazement.Amusing,because despite all the buffoonery,infantile and unproductive activities he is wrongly perceived as an intellectual giant by his so-called admirers who themselves can only be considered 'educated illiterates'. This is somebody who have offered absolutely nothing in the upper west region by way of development other than malice and diabolism being visited on perceived political opponents.Alban Bagbin is a typical example of a callous, heartless and senseless politician who have deliberately engage in destructive maneuvers to divide,gain upper hand in strangle hold onto power for decades mostly by engaging in pure fabrications,concoctions and deception of his poor constituents and ignorant masses who blindly follow him without interrogating his credibility and moral integrity.Indeed Alban Bagbin as a person has been largely successful in his political life by mastering politics of deceit,lies and propaganda in a culture where there is no probity and accountability.This is why he goes after discerning minds who have divergent views in matters bothering on development in the upper west region to keep a largely ignorant and uneducated masses in perpetual darkness as a reservoir of assured votes in continuous stay in parliament despite the non-performance.Exhibitionism through high flown English without substance pertaining to issues of national importance particularly in parliament to be seen on TV hold same shallow minded and ignorant audience spell bound.Alban Bagbin have sort to denigrate victims of his heinous atrocities including those he orchestrated their dismissals from public institutions as suffering a mental illness.However,a critical evaluation of his attitude and utterances suggest he is suffering Narcissistic Personality Disorder.Bagbin is strikingly unique in his obsession for power and personal fame to the detriment of his own people often brutal victims of his oppressiveness and tyranny.Boasting openly about his unparalleled achievements much to the contrary in politics, in typical grandiose style makes him a hero particularly among young ladies as Concubines and agents of his destructive network.His Machiavellian type of politics where monies and goodies targeting uninformed loyalists to immortalize him has been very effective particularly in the north where ignorance and poverty is endemic.His followers including 'uneducated intellectuals' who are merely sycophants and Boot Lickers espouse his developmental credentials which is non-existent other than the 'Parliament Mugabe' own personal development and comfort.According to reliable information Alban Bagbin boast of more than 20 mansions countrywide including the huge estate complex in Tema with huge million dollar businesses including micro-finance organizations etc while his constituents wallow in poverty and deprivation.He was ruthlessly exposed in a live TV3 debate organized for parliamentary aspirants in Nadowli-Kaleo when he has to dodge to save himself from a looming embarrassment.The other contestants rightfully bemoaned the under-development and deprivation of the constituency under his watch over decades with pictorial evidence.What was put out there were the facts on the ground and the only option was for Bagbin to switch off his phones.Benard Mornah particularly touched on Bagbin's intolerant and oppressive attitude of victimizing and persecuting discerning voices of opposing views as part of subversive tactics to ensure absolute power and endless rule by citing dismissals,transfer to rural areas and salary termination of perceived opponents in public institutions.It is callous and ridiculous for anyone to talk about MPs performing a primary duty of enacting and implementing laws.Should that be the case, then there should be no need for the MP Common Fund and other emoluments to serve the interest of respective constituents.A major problem particularly in a poor and deprived area like the north is that the likes of Alban Bagbin have shirk their over side responsibility of empowering and developing their constituents other than enriching themselves to lord and enslave poor constituents in the process.They consciously and deliberately put in mechanisms to stifle critical thinking people who question this sort of modern day slavery by greedy and unscrupulous politicians of his ilk.Alban Bagbin as a result of his autocratic mentality have had serious skirmishes with discerning intellectuals in the upper west region who question his modus operandi.He has proven time and again that he does not care about the development of his people in the upper west region by orchestrating dismissals of important persons like doctors saving lives from the upper west region when he was health minister in typical show of personal vendetta cast in political persecution.Despite the upper west region worse hit by acute shortage of doctors,Alban Bagbin have bizarrely orchestrated the transfer of doctors and other health staff out of the region perceived as political opponents using his influence compelling some into compulsory retirement.This tyranny and retrogressive acts is what chauvinists and opportunist bankrolled by him who are his praise singers term as development.I believe in politics of neutrality which is issue based and development oriented,not vulgar,senseless and unproductive political effusions meant to deceive the masses for cheap political points.I dare say it was an utter shame for this to be said at the political rally of Tamale South MP,the indefatigable and enterprising Haruna Iddrisu who by and large is the sort of development oriented politicians we need in the north.This is a young energetic politician who is dedicated to solving problems of his constituents rather than engage in oppressive brutalities just to keep power.The love for Haruna Iddrisu by his constituents is impeccable because he empowers and develop particularly the youth rather than engage in vindictive and destructive tendencies.This is somebody who consistently visit his constituency every week to solve problems for constituents despite his busy schedule.The people turn to vote massively for him merely by the immense love they have for him because he has touch on lives.Tyrants like Alban Bagbin have to resort to vote buying,rigging and other illegalities to force their way back to parliament through poor and desperate constituents compelled to succumb to their ill-gotten wealth and power in the most bullish manner.Perhaps one of the reason why the 'Nadowli-Mugabe'is desperately clanging onto his seat for almost 3 decades now is because of the skeletons in his cupboard with hindsight of his own iniquities against his own people for fear of the unknown.FREEDOM.
  FOR ALL VICTIMS OF THE 'NADOWLI-MUGABE' DEAD OR ALIVE.

  Beautiful write up. Rockson, you have made my day. It is good people like Bagbin are exposed of their SYCOPHANCY. We are fed up with these little-minded who parade themselves as 'Mr. KNOW-IT-ALL' who know virtually nothing. Let us get rid of them from our Parliament so that we get a more vibrant parliament that work towards the aspirations of the Ghanaian.
