Akufo-Addo’s comments on Ekumfi will affect new flagbearer – UG Lecturer

Head of the University of Ghana’s Political Science Department, Dr Seidu Alidu, believes that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s recent partisan comments will affect the sale of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer

He says instead of communicators selling their candidate to the people of Ghana, they will be left with no choice but to rather defend a president who will not be contesting just because of the comments he keeps making.

“I believe that the current flagbearer of the NPP and the National executives and almost all the other executives of the NPP would have a lot to explain and deal with some of this issue,” he said.

Adding “the political capital that people will make out of this pronouncement will divert your attention from selling your campaign promises and what you intend to do and to focus on defending this…It kind of takes away your attention and refocuses your campaign promises to defending things that a president who is not going to contest an election again is saying”.

He further indicated that “I think it will have an impact in terms of shaping the national discourse, in terms of being used for political benefits and in terms of reshaping, restrategizing and refocusing the campaign of the NPP. Any platform they have had in recent times is used to defend this issue rather than selling their new flagbearer”.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
