    We will all bear witness to the fact that Ghana has had the most prosperous and successful decade in our history under the competent leadership of the Kufuor Administration from the year 2000 to 2008. Since the NDC government took over power, there has been a decline in the economy through the bad policies being embarked on by the Mills led administration. This has been expressed in many ways by the constant and persistent outcry of the Ghanaian people about lack of jobs in the system, daily increment of goods and services; lack of peace and freedom of expression, even the sacrosanct game of football is declining at a very fast pace on the local scene.
    Throughout the past two years, we have heard and witnessed various NDC leaders such as former president Jerry John Rawlings, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, Dr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Dr. Sekou Nkrumah (it cost him his job for just expressing his view), Dr. Ofei Agyeman and many others, scoffing and complaining bitterly about the poor performance of the Mills-Mahama led administration. These persistent complaints stem from the fact that the “do-little or do-nothing, go slow, incompetent and lack vision administration is virtually retrogressing all the achievements that the NPP government chalked during the past years. Are we going to wait for president Atta Mills to say “folks, I’m sorry?”
    Our president has turned deaf ears to the cries of the people. Our people feel abandoned, betrayed and isolated by the government and they are right in feeling that way.
    As a result of the NDC government’s failure to continue the proud legacy and standards set by the NPP government, the time has finally arrived for the elephant to rise up again, speak up, and stand up in solidarity with Nana Akufo-Addo, the hope of Ghana and the NPP to recapture power, rebuild a modern Ghana, and make the promise of Development in Freedom a reality again for the good people of this loving country.
    Projects which were undertaken with the taxpayers’ money by the Mills-Mahama administration ended in fiasco. Among them were National Identification Authority (NIA), Census Exercise and the recent District Assembly elections. Ghanaians don’t even know the officially accurate population size of the country yet colossal amount of monies have been spent. Amazingly, this is an unprecedented political turmoil the NDC government has portrayed to the people and the world at large – an obvious emergence of opposition forces within the party to kick out the incumbent midway to their term in office. This ugly picture of political unrest is the first to ever happen in Ghana since independence in 1957.
    My fellow Ghanaians, this is an arduous task for us to achieve but the solution is in our hands. We therefore employ all Ghanaians to rally behind the NPP to redeem the lost image of Ghana on the global economy. The time has come to set aside the NDC’s old politics of propaganda, insults, lies, deceit and greed that are inimical to Ghanaian’s principles and ideologies and redirect our attention to the issues that will help achieve our millennium goals for the betterment of the Ghanaian people. Things ought to change. This calls for the need to figure out the best remedy to this bad situation the country is undergoing.
    Nana Akufo-Addo will rebuild government by bringing back competence; rebuild it by bringing back integrity; rebuild it by bringing back performance, by bringing back people of talent, by bringing back people of goodwill. He’s capable of doing something and perform and help the people of Ghana and make government function.
    Let us join hands with Nana Akufo Addo – as he sets the ball rolling – and the NPP to create a sustainable and potent economy where a high-quality and affordable health care is guaranteed, freedom of expression is assured, quality education is a must, good security is at its best; where the citizenry will live and move about freely in a fear-free environment without tremble and good standard of living for all. He has made it his mission to turn all that around – to transform the government into a force for growth and prosperity and give over 25 million citizens a government they can be proud of again.
