We are always reminded to tailor our coat according to our size and wears shoes which are not oversized. If one should defy this rule, one is likely to end up in an uncomfortable situation. To hold the mantle as flag bearer for any party is not easy if you have not been properly groomed. It takes one with experience and knowledge to handle such positions and it is advisable to avail yourself for proper training even if it takes becoming a National Youth Organizer. This same advice went to the 2012 flagbearer of the United Front Party (UFP), Mr Akwasi Addai; but it is highly probable he disregarded it. Nana Agyenim Boateng, the National Chairman for the party believes Mr. Addai, is inept and lacks what it takes to drive a political party. Nana Agyenim Boateng, declared on Okay FM that the attitude of Mr Akwasi Addai, aka Odike, leaves a very sour taste in their mouth and further makes them regret selecting him as their flagbearer. Days before passing this remark on the station, Odike had been in the news for very bad reasons. It was alleged that he had invoked curses on the chief of Asokwa and the Metropolitan Chief Executive of Kumasi. He was summoned before the Royal Court of the Asantehemaa located in the Manhyia Palace and it was rumored that a hefty amount would be demanded to atone for his sins. It is for this reason that Nana Agyenim Boateng believes Odike should have started crawling before walking; in other words, he should have learned the basics by becoming the National Youth Organizer before positioning himself to run for the flagbearership position.
