NPP has only one passion for Ghana "demonstration " -NDC Atlanta

It behooves me to let the NPP staging Demonstrations and Strikes do not help score political points. Violence would not help gain political votes either; such attitudes rather connote unrefined bravery and cheap victory. Decorum, demureness, and conscientiousness are tools used by patriotic citizens in attracting solution to matters arising. Any political party obsessed with the spirit of grumbling, murmuring, and grudging irrationally result to demonstrations and violence no matter how old or educated they are. By their fruits they are known.

Is NPP aware that demonstrating in a foreign land for a course that has no bearing with the policies and administration of the foreign country is absurd? Demonstration is not just gathering party affiliates with placards and a particular dress code matching the streets with war and hate songs. No!! Far from it !!! Demonstration must have (1) Purpose Of Interest and (2) You demonstrate to present New Ideas, Solution or Methods in A Submission Report.
Let's assume, in your previous demonstrations in UK and elsewhere, you presented your Submission Report to the Ghana Ambassador in that country, where as your demonstration is against John Dramani Mahama the President of the Republic of Ghana or the Voters Register, does that make sense? No!! It doesn't a bit!!! Definitely you wouldn't present to the Queen or Prime Minister either because that would sound ridiculous since they don't have solution to the cause for your demonstrations. That means demonstrating in UK or any foreign Land is waste of time and energy as causing nuisance and noise pollution. If NPP (UK) Chapter have guts they should in their numbers buy round trip tickets to Ghana and join their fellow NPP members in their demonstrations in Ghana; that is the right place for Ghanaians to demonstrate. It is a right for Ghanaian Citizens to demonstrate in Ghana with a Purpose Of Interest, however, the said demonstration must be dispassionately staged. In the absence of that the sanity in the country is being treated with disdain.

Having said that any group or political party that adopts the habit of showing insolence and impudence to a harmless and a wise President does not necessarily seek the interest of their country. The silence and enduring gesture of President John Dramani Mahama over the irrational and unwarranted attitudinal exhibition in the name of demonstration rather depicts the political frustration cum desperation of the NPP members and their Presidential candidate. Seeking for power in such attitudes rather makes the populace precisely the voting class to unabatedly show great deal of empathy for that Presidential candidate. An erratic NPP Presidential candidate and his political affiliates unveil the behavioral and acuminate deficiencies the presidency would be faced with if ever he is given the mandate. These negative attributes have already resulted to his defeats in 2008 and 2012 respectively. If Nana Akufo Addo wants to be the President of Ghana in 2020 then he must change from his negative ways of life. He needs a change of Behavior, change in his Campaign Strategies, change in leadership style, change in his political attitudes, change in Tribal Sectionalism, change from pride to meekness, change from All Die Be Die mind set, change from practicing Totalitarianism, Authoritarianism, and stop being Autocratic in dealing with the NPP members. With all of the above political deficiencies it is evident that Nana Akufo Addo is not electable. Gone are the days when politicians play on the intelligence of the Ghanaian populace. Ghanaians no longer subscribe to having political landlords and warriors as their President; they vote for a leader who has the servant-hood attitude, and who is not power drunk. They don't subscribe to a leader masterminding unjustified public nuisance that lead to party members being subjugated by the law enforcement. This is the political party who need the precious and uncontaminated conscience votes of God fearing Ghanaians. May God help our dear nation. The NPP should stop planning demonstration in the wrong place and rather advice their Presidential candidate( Nana Akufo Addo) to stop creating division in the NPP thereby carving out his faction of loyalists. That he should stop the hate mongering and recognize NPP top leaders Afoko and Agyepong. If he cannot put NPP house in order as a leader, how can he manage the affairs of the country as the President? He keeps promising the eradication of poverty in Ghana, is it not better he takes into consideration of eradicating the throwing of acids, the killings in the party, the fight of superiority over the ownership of NPP? Let him break the tribal wall he erected between him Nana Akufo Addo and his Akyem Mafias versus Ex-President J A Kufour/Alan Kyeremanteng and their Ashanti Mafias and instill unity. If he cannot resolve the disunity in his party as their presidential candidate then it is clear that he is just seeking power for himself. While the NPP use the few months left for the general election to campaign for change of Voters Register President J D Mahama is busily providing

The NDC Government has brought a lot of development in Ghana through the able leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, and there are more to be done. What Solutions or Ideas has Nana Akufo Addo and his NPP offered the country than organizing demonstrations and indirectly instigating strikes and crying over Voters Register?
When NDC was in opposition there was no problem but it is a problem for Nana Akufo Addo, Ochere Gabby Okyere Darko and NPP. Well, is that because they feel Ghana belong to them so no party has the right to be in government? Being the President of Ghana is not by the demonstration but by the honest votes cast by our honest Ghanaian voters. NPP presidential candidate who is always on a fault finding drive would stop at nothing to become a President, too bad !!! The votes of the people in Ghana will continue to prevail over any individual's selfish ambition. The last time we checked NPP's problem was Pink Sheets and they realized it should have been rather
" You And I Were Not There ".
Then Dr Afari Gyan the honest man who was the EC when JA Kufour and Nana Akufo Addo became the President and Attorney General respectively all of a sudden became a problem and call for his resignation just because Nana Akufo Addo didn't become the President. Dr Afari Gyan honorably resigned. An honorable and experience woman is chosen and yet Nana Akufo Addo and his NPP still have problem with Voters Register the female EC is in charge of. This is the highest frustration any Presidential candidate has ever exhibited in the history of our dear country Ghana.
We the Atlanta chapter of the NDC strongly state that Ghana is not for one political party neither does it belong to a particular family where the presidency is seen a legacy. Ghanaian voters know who to cast their vote for in 2016 election; no amount of demonstration or orchestrated strikes will intimidate them.
