Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has said that as far as he is concerned deficiency of a visionary leader to be in the helm of affairs after Ghana�s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah�s regime is what is deteriorating the country. According to the former Ghana Football Association boss, Ex-President Kufuor who governed for eight (8) years came close to what Dr. Kwame Nkrumah did but certain issues obstructed his achievement. �After Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, I don�t think we have had any visionary leader. The one who came close a bit is President Kufuor. President Kufuor could have done more and more and close to what President Nkrumah did but�after Kwame Nkrumah, there have not been any visionary leaders,� he noted. As to whether President John Dramani Mahama will outdo Ghana�s first President�s success as a visionary leader, Dr. Nyaho said �President John Mahama has just begun so let�s watch what he will do. We must give him the opportunity. ��One thing a lot of people doesn�t seem to see is that, here is a President being bombarded right, left and center and have a case in court. Nobody knows the outcome. Let�s give him, (Prez Mahama) the long rope. But if he goes the wrong way, he would have a bash from me. I can assure him that. We need a visionary leader�. Speaking on Asempa FM the leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), repeated that the �NPP needs to be tolerant�; Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe questioned the conduct of some leading members of the NPP in recent times. �If the NPP could not accept free speech then that is worrying. What is happening now in the party is a bit strange. I am calling on Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to bring them to order because as defacto leader he has to call them to order,� he advised. Nonetheless, he said he would not be worried if some party members criticized his utterances. �I have no problem at all, let them come up. Let those who will have an issue with what I have said come up. I have no problem with that at all,� he stated.
