ANOTHER election year is around the corner and there is Politics in the air and the questions majority of Ghanaians are asking themselves before they go to the 2016 polls is who among the Presidential candidates can do the work above their expectation after the abysmal performance of the self-acclaimed Social Democrats the NDC who claim they have the interest of the suffering masses at heart with a sweet slogan “I care for you” and ever since they assumed power in 2008 they have failed to address the plight of the suffering masses who cannot afford a square meal a day. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo is the right man to redeem Ghana’s dwindling fortunes back on track to the benefit of all Ghanaians.

Coming events they say cast its shadows and there is an Akan saying which goes like “Agoro beso a efiri anopa” that is the song the suffering masses in Ghana are singing for Dr. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo the courageous and selfless man vying for the Presidency to make Ghana work again. Although, he has not gotten the mandate, yet he has shown a clear signal to the good people of Ghana that, he had them at heart and possesses the leadership qualities they would want to see in their next President. He demonstrated to Ghanaians he had special love for Mother Ghana and its good citizens and because of that he does not want Ghana to burn into ashes before he becomes the President as it had happened in many African countries that was the reason why he shocked the whole World by saying “he disagrees with the Supreme Court verdict but for Mother Ghana to move forward and continue to enjoy its peace he accepted the final verdict in good faith” which his Political opponent would not have done same if he happens to be in his shoes.

That is a hallmark of someone who has sense humility and upon all the wealth he had, he sees himself as being nothing before God and man and has given himself up to serve Ghanaians rain or shine. No wonder he still believes that “The battle still remains the Lords”. He prefers to be called a peace maker rather than prince of peace because he does not want to claim the title from Jesus Christ the only one who sits at the right hand side of God in Heaven. Nana Addo’s track record in the Political arena is second to none. He is the only Politician whose reputation has been dragged in the mud by his Political opponents and their Serial Callers and has not in any way reacted. He has proven beyond all reasonable doubt he is matured and descent Politician who is ready to accommodate all manner of insults from all quarters.

People who have had the chance to get closer to him will attest to the fact that he is affable, approachable and a perfect gentleman without blemish. He is someone Ghanaians can put their trust on to put Ghana in its rightful place.

The only Politician the NDC have tried all their schemes to get him into trouble but have failed woefully. Before the Supreme Court verdict the NDC tagged him as the most violent and arrogant man on earth and his pronouncement had washed him whiter than snow and they have absolutely nothing again to say about him. There is an akan saying which goes like “Se wo sene wo yonko a na otan wo, na omama biara ho ye hi”. The NDC people hate him just because he has a good vision and divine mandate to fulfill for Ghanaians and he is someone who does not entertain corrupt practices in his environment. As his enemies are not God he will surely live to accomplish his divine mission come 2016 general elections.
Ghanaians are fortunate to have a Politician who has been bold enough to declare publicly, “I am not corrupt and I have never been corrupt and his Political detractors who are found of tarnishing his image anytime they have the chance to talk on Radio and Television have no single charge to prove to Ghanaians what he claims to be is a fallacy. Ghanaians are proud of you Dr. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo the faithful son of the land and as it is said in our Akan language “Akwoapa nokwafoc” meaning a good and faithful servant. He is not in the Ghanaian Politics to amass wealth for himself and his family at the expense of 95% of the suffering masses but he believes Politics is a noble vocation aimed at raising the standard of living of the common man that is why he is warming up with his Vice -President Dr .Alhaji Mammud Bawumia the (Economic Prophet) and people with the technical know-how who can help him create something out of nothing as his Predecessor former President John Agyekum Kufour did in his tenure of office.

Ghana will rise again under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo because he has never failed in his promise and has never started what he can’t finish. This is the man Ghana needs most now to redeem the nation from abyss. Apart from his belief that Ghana will work again under his government he has what it takes to fight corruption at point zero and corrupt people will not be rewarded in his government. We have lost huge sums of money to undeserved private companies and other personalities. To mention a few are Asofoton, Sada, Gyeeda, Azontaaba, Smartee’s and judgment debts to undeserved persons. It is only under the NDC judgment debt was paid to a dead chief in his grave without the knowledge of his family members. All these can never happen under his watch as the President of the Republic of Ghana to the extent that an aeroplane packed with gold bars worth 80 million dollars from Ghana found its way in Turkey and was ceased by the Turkish leader and he (Nana Akufo Addo) will go and come back home empty handed.
If Ghanaians give him the mandate he will protect the national purse and revenues from taxes and our natural resources will be put to good use to the benefit of all Ghanaians. He is coming to revive all the good policies former President John Agyekum Kufour laid down to the good people of Ghana that have all collapsed under the NDC government I mean the Nhis ,Cocoa mass spraying, Free maternal care, Capitation grants, Metro Mass Transport etc.
The incumbent has done his little best and I would say this is like giving SHS examination questions to a Primary Six Pupil. He will try his best to pass but when it comes to the act of making law and turning people’s lives around, one must be articulate and well experience. The incumbent has done his best, but his best is not enough because building schools, roads, markets, stadium and hospitals are the common thing an ordinary Ghanaian can do. What we need is social interventions that will keep the money in our pocket for instance Kufour’s Nhis policy did not put money in our pocket but kept the money we had toiled for in our pockets.
The Free SHS promise to the good people of Ghana will come at all cost and the restoration of allowances to Teacher Trainees and Trainee Nurses would be made possible when NPP comes to power in 2016. “Regeneration” 2016 is what Nana Akufo Addo and NPP would want to bring to Ghanaians that means to rebuild or bring back to live what is not functional. When he looks at the Ghanaian society he discovers that a lot of things are missing and broken so with regeneration he (Nana Addo Dankwa AkufoAddo) with the assistance of his technocrats would fix the broken areas and values, and then breathe life into them. The unnecessary Taxes and levies on the Usain Bolt ECG meters will be removed to reduce the burden on customers. The Agricultural sector will be revived to stop the importation of food stuffs from the neighbouring countries. The Private sector would be empowered to create a lot of jobs for the younger generation. The wind of Change is blowing all over the country and NPP will rule Ghana once Insah Allah.
