A well written piece of work.Congrstulations, Daily Guide!!!! I hope the good people of Ghana will read to see through the nefarious practices of Mahama and his bunch of devilish incarnated party apparatchiks, that have plunged the economy into a total mess. Fiifi Quartey is talking about what in his eyes, constitute the incompetence of the NPP, forgetting that he and Dzifa Attivor are on the campaign throughout the Volta Region peddling tribalistic messages to incite voters to vote NDC into office again, in order to protect them from prosecution and enventual imprisonment for financial offences against the state. They can 'cry blood', for all they like, they're aren't coming back. Enough is enough.

AGENDA 2020 IS REAL - WHY NANA ADDO IS A BAD CHOICE FOR NPP.
As the December election approaches the tautness in the political circles is very high, everyone want his or her voice to be heard. Politicians are promising the electorate heaven and earth yet when voted in power they have nothing at all to offer. I remember prior to the 2000 elections, NPP promised heaven and earth and as soon as we handed power to them they decided to opt for the easy option by taking the country straight to HIPIC. They promised that they will fix the economy and do so many things but what they did not tell Ghanaians at the time is that they do not know the true state of the government coffers. NDC also promised us the same during the president Mills time, but the good old professor of blessed memory managed things well and put the economy back on track as evident in Bawumia’s lectures. So to me it is clear that NPP after all is not the better managers of the economy as they always seem to claim. The rush into HIPIC to me without looking to fix things like professor mill did shows their level of incompetence. The easy way is always not the best.
Since Nana Addo became the flag bearer of the elephant fraternity things has not been well at all for the party. A lot of party faithful knows that they are in the reign of terror. Nana has turned himself as an opposition dictator, a divisive and intolerant leader who must never be allowed in the corridors of the Jubilee house. There are so many party members who knew very well that the old boy can never become a president hence the reason why some of the big shots in the party have decided to sit back to see the old boy crash the plane with the hypocrites who urges him on. Nana is the only flag bearer of the NPP to oversee the death of two party members and the beating and harassment of several others including their chairman and general secretary and treasurer. He is the only leader who sat and watch party members jubilating over the fall of Afoko and others and pop Champaign to herald their downfall. Is this the person Ghanaians would want to entrust the country to? The answer is definitely no. This is a leader who has never condemned any act of violence and abusive behaviours in his own party before. Ken Agyapong insulted the electoral commissioner and he was very happy with that, their chairman threatened to kill Mahama and all the lawyers in the party could not condemn it the same way they condemn the Montie trio because in their mind the president is not a person, the same applies to the GBA and other church leaders. Not even the leader of the party Nana Addo could condemn such a stupid statement. This shows the kind of a leader Nana is. When the Ashanti regional chairman Wontomi slapped the party’s’ own MP, Nana failed to call him to order, instead Ken Agyapong who is very close to Nana Addo and share similar characteristic with Nana Addo (as violent and divisive) was on radio congratulating this bush man and his uncouth behaviour. So it is very clear that Nana Addo endorses what wontomi did as he shares the same ideology with Ken Agyapong. Even the party’s’ own primaries was marred with violence all because the leader is a violent person.
NPP is not a democratic party as they want all of us to believe. We know how they always want to look down on certain tribes/regions in Ghana and feel that one tribe is superior over the rest. Victor Owusu was the first NPP man to tell our brothers in the North that they should not venture into politics but they should stick to farming and leave the NPP to think for them. This was recently re-echoed by Yaw Sarfo Marfo who said that if you are not from a region where natural resources are produced you should never become a president of the republic. This is very sad coming from a person who we assigned as a finance minister of our dear republic who could sign a contract in another language without knowing what he was signing for. These are the kind of people who want to govern Ghana and Ghanaian will be making a big mistake to hand over power to NPP this year.
The NPP is simply not ready to rule Ghana. The division, the violence the threat to kill our president, the killing in their party etc. is all a security threat to our dear nation. I support the agenda 2020 when a better non-violent leader will take over from the divisive leader and bring the elephant back home. For now the elephant is wondering in the bush destroying everything, killing the very people who will be voting for them. The NPP have set up vigilante groups like “let my vote count” etc. who did so many things to damage the reputation of government and the EC. Since the ruling on the electoral register, all these group have vanished into thin air because they cannot produce any evidence to their claim. Because of that stupid leader call David Asante someone lost his eye. It is very sad that these politician will not expose their own children to these violence. Their kids are studying here in the UK and in the USA and they incite the poor ordinary Ghanaians to create problems.
The minority leader Osei Kyei Bonsu said that it is only the NDC who can do a proper campaign because they are in Government and that there is no other political party with the necessary resource to do that. Is this an admission that the NPP also used the power of incumbency during their reign? Also if the MPs claim is true then will NPP blame NDC for winning the next election?
All the above analysis points to the reason why the NPP should forget about this election and focus on agenda 2020 where all the good people of the party will come together and throw the bad legacy of Nana Addo into the gutters and begin a massive clean-up exercise to weed out all the violent and divisive characters in the party. Nana Addo is a bad elephant who must not be allowed near the presidency. It is only during his reign as the leader of NPP that all the bad things happened to the party and we do not want the same thing to happen after the election so SAY NO TO NANA THE SAME WAY WE SAID NO TO HIV/AIDS. The truth hurts and I know the violent people of the party will come on this platform to insult me. But before they do so they should quickly look into the mirror and ask themselves what they gained during the NPP reign in 2000-2008. If they were better off they should not be on this platform by now. At the end of the day who cares? A word to the wise is enough. AGENDA 2020 IS THE WAY FORWARD. Let us help Nana to retire honourably this year and focus on the future of the party in the hands of a non-violent and a peaceful leader. God bless Ghana.

You have the right to promote your views but you cannot liken Nana Addo to HIV or any health condition for that matter. That is gross disrespect and devilish in nature. You can taunt AGENDA 2020 OR WHAT HAVE YOU, for all you like, but the fact remains that your submission denotes someone who has selfish personality and for that matter grandiose and narcistic disorder. Your choice of leadership is not better than Nana Addo in any dimension you situate your argument. By your line lof argument, Mahama should continue with his ineptitude, incompetences and wanton mismanagement of the economy till your choice is ready, even if it means turning Ghana into a failed state. The future of Ghana is not locked down to the preoccupied over ambitious embodiment of Allan Cash and the likes of you. You either renew your mindsets and join hands with Nana Addo to move the country forward or join the NDC and their selfish materialistic brigades. Nana Addo is unstoppable. Get that!!

I have nothing against our northern brothers, but we brought this crook and perfidious John Mahama upon ourselves by default of our own fatuous system of selecting vice presidential candidates from the north.
These political parties bereft of all common sense and fastidiousness, forget that choosing a vice presidential candidate is in effect choosing a substantive President. By default these northerners, most of whom retroverts, unceremoniously creep into power through the backdoor as John Mahama did when President Atta Mills died. The question the average Ghanaian should ask is: Would John Mahama had won any election on his own merit if he had stood as leader of a political party? the obvious answer is no, but through the reckless abandonment of all common sense by Ghana's political parties, Ghana now has a President no other John Mahama of duplicitous and shady character.
How can Ghana soon forget another listless northerner who was shoed-in into the Presidency through the backdoor by Imoro Egala . Just like NPP's vice presidential candidate, Dr. Bawumia, Dr. Hilla Limann was well educated with impressive resume, and was presented to the nation as the answer to the nation's prayer. Hilla Limann was a complete novice in Ghana politics, yet through backdoor politics he became President of the country when Imoro Egala was disqualified from running for political office. We all know what happened next when Dr. Limann become President in 1979 until he was overthrown by Rawlings in 1981.
Today, our country is still courting another retrovert northerner Dr. Bawumia, who has been touted as the best thing that ever happened to our nation. Like all the northerners do, he will sneak through the backdoor when the ailing 72-year old Akufo Addo passes on, and become the substantive President of Ghana. His party, the NPP, has padded and bloated his credentials as they did in the case of Dr. Hilla Limann, and as NDC is currently doing in the case of John Mahama, to prop him up.
Well, father time will tell as we know that history often repeats itself!!!

Well Kwabena, you cannot paint a whole block of people with one brush. That amounts to being judgemental and excluding people from enjoying their inalienable right. Your mindset appears wapped with politics of exclusion, which is divisive and uncalled for. Can you honestly convince yourself that all southerners in Ghana have the competences to succeed as politicians? It is immature to practice discriminatory politics. You should remember that, curtesy of Dr Aggrey, 'it is the efficient blend of the black and white keys on the keyboard' that produces beautiful pieces of music. Dr Hilla Limann might have had his short-comings but so was Atta Mills and others before him. I would expect socio-polical commentators to practice their trade or make their submissions on the basis of objectivity rather peddling biased information. Mahama is not my cup of tea but that doesn't mean that I will look at all northerners from the same political lenses. I hope you catch my drift. Cheers.

Joe, my point of argument was toward Ghana's political parties who are predisposed to choosing their vice presidential candidates from the north. My question was, had John Mahama formed his own political party and ran as President would he have won the Presidecy? This inane practice does not give the best in the north, instead it allows any northerner to creep through the backdoor into the Presidency by virtue of their status as vice presidents. You said my mindset is warped with politics of exclusion. Is it not politics of exclusion to choose vice presidential candidate only from the north, in lieu of other regions in Ghana? I have not as yet figured out the rationale for political parties picking their vice presidential candidates from the north. Do you Joe? You don't choose political leaders by affirmative action. Where in the world is this practice? It is like asking the two main parties in the US to choose a black candidate as vice presidential candidate. Don't you think that is rather a warped idea?
I am sure you understand sampling in statistics - it is a technique of selecting a small group from a larger group to represent the larger group. At least we know the record and performance of Dr. Hilla Limann, until his government was toppled in 1981 and we are witnessing the happy-go-lucky John Mahama and his lackluster NDC government, and with the predictive power of sampling in statistics I can safely predict the performance of Bawumia in view of the fact that he is a northerner should Akufo Addo die before his term. That is the beauty of statistics!!!

A man is aspiring for the highest position in the land and his actions and inactions as well as the state of the political party he presides over should not be scrutinised. He should be worshipped as a tin god!! Nana Addo and his surrogates assume that all Ghanaians think just they way they think, forgetting elections are won in Ghana by the votes of floating voters who are the silent majority. What is being said concerning the poor way Nana Addo is presiding over NPP; is it true or not. I always marvel at the way the NPP always continue to shoot themselves in the feet and still think that they can win this election with the same old strategies that have ended them in losing the previous two elections. If they continue in the same old ways and refuse to acknowledge the reality that the Ghanaian voter is very discerning thefore they need to do things in a refreshing new way then they will lose once more no matter what their spiritual marabouts are saying to the contrary
