I have seen people who have come from Europe, North America, Canada with what it takes to move this country, but they are always frustrated till they pack their things to return back overseas.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cYou can go to the top and they wont do anything because that person he has given authority to is one of the people who helped him to win the elections so even though they know the person doesn\u2019t have what it takes, they will not replace the person with the qualified person who can move the country but will allow the unqualified person to mess up the country, that is what is going on,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch him speak in the video snippet below:<\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">They give great authority to f00!ish people. Archbishop Duncan Williams&#8217; remarks will not sit well with NPP members.<\/p>\n<p>But I enjoy the prayers and curses. The NPP has stolen too much. This election is between Ghanaians and the NPP.
