NDC to the promised land

Leadership is not by mere sacrifices, but having the vision and mission that people can buy into and repose their confidence and trust in you to follow and Atta-Mills has it all. Morals are not written laws, it is expressing or teaching a conception of right behavior or conforming to a standard of what is right and good whereas authority is the power to influence or command thought, opinion or behavior. Therefore, moral authority is the power to influence public opinion without the use of force. NPP has abused the mandate given to them by Ghanaians and has no morals.

SHAME ON THEM

Extra-marital affairs are profligate among leaders. Let us look gravely at Richard Anane (Minister for transportation) scandal for instance; it is dishonorable and morally erroneous for a leader of Anane’s caliber to engage in such a discreditable act. Even though, he is better rogue than President Kufour in my opinion, he was ethically wrong to do what he did as a Minister. This NPP guru was sent on official duty to the United States to find solution for HIV prevention and he shamefully impregnated one of the attendees at that conference which he has been sending$30,000 a month to that lady in question. What an infamy and where did he get that monthly amount of money from, President Kufour also had an extra-marital affair with castle consultant and have twins with her. Do you see how the NPP have abuse power and moral authority?. He used his authority as a president to have sex with the castle consultant which is morally wrong, but it is not against the law that brings me to the clear distinction between morals and laws and the difference between NDC and NPP. Sometimes leaders are ragged between their ambitions, the scaling public demands to offer solution to every problem, and the limits of their competence and the public tolerance for difficult truth. Professor John Atta-Mills of the NDC WILL NOT FALL INTO THAT SHAMEFUL ACT. He is a man of integrity and genuine person.

An effective leader should first place emphasis on how their team works together and the NDC has able leader like Atta-Mills.

A leader’s role should be one who communicates as an enabler to increase the effectiveness of the Country by improving its process and professor Mills of the NDC is the answer.

A leader has responsibility of promoting the idea: if we can improve the Country’s ability to solve problems and make decisions, Professor Mills OF THE NDC IS THE ANSWER.

When a leader of a Country aspires to motivate team members to move toward set objectives, he/she can be most effective by building skills of empathetic listening on a base of character that inspires openness and trust, PROFESSOR MILLS OF THE NDC IS THE ANSWER.

Leadership is an idea of influencing the activities of an individual or a group in effort of moving towards goal achievement in a given situation, PROFESSOR MILLS OF THE NDC HAS WHAT IT TAKES.

Leadership of truth, transparency, honesty. PROF. MILLS GOT IT ALL.THIS IS WHY I KNOW NDC WILL GET TO THE PROMISE LAND (VICTORY DECEMBER 2008).

Ghana desires a leader with morals who will build infrastructure, social amenities, assuage poverty, lessen corruption, unite the Country, build new schools, elevate educational system, pay teachers and doctors decent salaries, reduce electricity, petrol, tuition, good drinking water, good health policy, eradicate diseases like cholera, malaria, and guinea worm which is common in Ghana, trustworthy, preventing the spread of HIV and other deadly diseases, good economic policy, and these are the attributes that Akuffo-Addo NPP Candidate doesn’t have. PROFESSOR ATTA-MILL HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD GHANA.VOTE ATTA-MILLS FOR A BETTER GHANA.

Ladies and gentlemen of the beloved Ghana, please perilously scrutinize the issues before you cast your vote on December 7, 2008 presidential and parliamentary elections. Let’s evaluate the prices of basic commodities in the year 2000 with the present year 2008,that is the NDC regime with the NPP regime. NPP government is cruel and iniquitous.

ALL IN LOCAL CURRENCY (CEDIS)

Nana Akuffo Addo who is the presidential candidate for the NPP promised the public during the 2000 election that when voted into office, the serial killings of the women would stop, but when he was made attorney general, he never cared to set up a task force to even investigate the killings of the 34 women, THIS KUKRUDITES CAN NOT BE TRUSTED WITH THEIR PROVEN EMPTY PROMISES. Professor Mills of the great party NDC would not preach virtue and practice vice. We all know that it is morally wrong for a presidential candidate to be a drug user and dealer which Akuffo-Addo is a victim. The fired Minister of interior Hon. Kwamina Bartels reprehensively predisposed the disbursement of state-guaranteed loans to his daughter which is a criminal act, former minister Osafo Maafo, the China loan scandal, president the kickbacks allegation by the former NPP chairman, the renovation of the president private resident with the tax payers money, the president’s hotel saga, the president’s daughter building of mall saga, missing of cocaine parcel from the IGP’s office, the misery behind the sinking of the ship carrying over millions of dollars oil, the overspending of the Ghana at 50, killing of Ya naa and and his guards, contract killings, and many more. There are many reasons why NPP must be voted out. I can go on and on about how the NPP took the voters for granted. High taxes, less development, the gap between the rich and the poor, worse standard of living, and many more. At the right time I will emphatically let you know minister by minister what they stole. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, EXAMINE YOUR LIVING CONDITIONS BEFORE CASTING YOUR VOTE. VOTE PROFESSOR ATTA-MILLS FOR THE CHANGE THAT YOU NEED.
