Asiedu Nketia is the Chairman of NDC, not the General Secretary.
Yes, Ghana politics is becoming a family business. From father to son to sister and in some instances wives. No wonder a Nigerian politician Peter Obi had this to say " No country can progress when it's politics is more profitable than its industries. In a country where those in government are richer than entrepreneurs , they manufacture poverty" . Hear another Nigerian called Wole Soyinka " Only in Africa will ***barred word*** be regrouping to loot again and the youth whose future is being stolen will be celebrating it". No wonder after 66 years of independence we can't still dualize the road linking our 2 major cities ie Accra-Kumasi. Lost of lives resulting from head on collision is now a norm rather than an exception . 66 years after independence animals are still competing with women for water in dugouts in some rural areas, 66 years after independence school pupils are still lying like lizards on the bare floor in classroom to learn due to lack of furniture even though the country can boast of timber. 66 years after independence we can't still link the 16 regional capitals by tarred roads. 66 years after independence we still import tomatoes from arid land Burkina Faso which records less rainfall than Ghana. 66 years after independence we still import pens, handkerchief , slippers, old newspapers from other countries to make egg crates, import old newspapers to cover car that are be sprayed with paint by car painters, we import used pants, towels, socks, pencils, hmmmmmm, and yet people can afford to spend 20 billion old cedis or 2 million Ghana cedis in parliamentary primaries and still lost, meaning the one who won might have spent more. No wonder we have been to the IMF 17 times and still counting. Indeed as someone said " Ghana ya ye mobo duu du" to wit " Ghana's case is too pathetic " The one who said this is now in charge and what he said still holds if not worse. Hahahaaaa .
Why not? To continue where is father is going out on! Those who fight and kill each other because of them must think twice!
The seat???? Is this not supposed to be for a political party?
