The National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joshua Hamidu Akamba, has asked Ghanaians not to risk voting a divided New Patriotic Party (NPP) presided over by a dictator into office for another term.
Mr. Akamba is asserting that President Nana Akufo-Addo is gradually becoming a despot and if care is not taken, it will not help anyone, however, he wants Ghanaians to show President Akufo-Addo and his administration the exit in the upcoming 2020 elections.
According to him, Akufo-Addo’s leadership style is like former Ugandan military officer, Idi Amin Dada Oumee who served as the President of Uganda from 1971 to 1979.
However, he indicated that there are some weaknesses and lapses in the constitution which need to be amended.
“President Akufo-Addo is gradually becoming a tyrant in the League of Idi Amins”. He went on “Because, this conduct is unbecoming of a democratic society,” Joshua Akamba told Kwame Tutu on Anopa Nkomo on Accra-based Kingdom FM 107.7.
“We have elected a dictator. That is what we have set up in the constitution. There is no difference between him and the military leaders. Ghanaians must vote against him massively”, he disclosed.
Some leaders including Adolf Hitler and others did not begin as despots but, ‘’it is their people around them who fan their egos and created despots out of them…Let us not allow Nana Akufo Addo to become a despot, it will not help anybody.’’
A despot is a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.
He also indicated that governance in the country irrespective of the government in power has been taken as a joke.
He said the president who is touted as a human rights activist and campaigner should not be seen to endorse lawlessness and impunity under his watch.

If not for free-education in the north, you akamba would have been carrying latrine-pan or pounding fufu, selling bread and the best of all selling kebab in drinking spots in Kumasi always drank with Apio, give us a break with your stKING month.
Have you filed your nomination to become the next president of the republic of ghana ? Because people like you is what we want . And i hope you do hurry to be the president of Ghana . Good luck sir.
Then Mahama is Bokassa of our time and Mobutu Seseko Ngenda Kuku Wasa Banga of our time. Daawa konko come again
Look at another acid mouth. Rawlings was right
Are there no elders in the NDC party?
See his big mouth, politics has become so cheap that any id.ot can open his smelly mouth to spew ***barred word***. What is Akamba's family background and how many of your kinsmen have attained the level our president has achieved . For all you know Akamba is the first educated person from his family. I blame Mahama for rewarding loose talkers with appointments
I do not know how old this boy is if Nana Addo is like Iddi Amin that we know which you may have read from a book you would have been dead for passing this comment about him. Don't talk about things you do not know.
In one breath you say Akufo-Addo is a dictator, then the next moment you say he is a joke. Please, read your text before you post it next time around. But I just pity you and your NDC. You are afraid that when Akufo-Addo wins 2020, your party will be in complete disarray. That it will take you a very long time to come to power again. NDC, you are at the cross-roads and you habour the fear, genuine fear which may eventually come to pass very soon. Stop the insults and bring out alternatives to convince people.
I wonder if this man really reason at all b4 he talks, everything that comes out his mouth is disaster and I also wonder the kind of family he has. Ahhhhhh, this is y some of us hate NDC simply bcos of these kind of loose talkers like Akamba n his likes in the NDC and they are gradually degrading the image of NDC. No wonder even their General Secretary too is an old man wit diarrhea mouth wit no wisdom in his words....mtchwwww!!!!
You are expects in name calling but with no vision. You are at it again just as you did in 2016, calling Nana Addo names but before you realised he had inflicted painful defeat on your so-called "young candidate"...bear in mind that another defeat is at your doorstep...
