Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a so-called member of the communications team of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) is a total disgrace to the Ghanaian media. This novice will jump in to a radio station and begin to talk without really knowing why he is talking. He pocesses therudness to questioned the aptitude of the flag bearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to deliver a "Better Ghana Agenda" when voted for as president.
Meanwhile I thought Ofosu is a communucation team member of the NDC, why can't he rather tell the Ghanaian people about the "Better Ghana Agenda" so far achieved by his NDC party.
According to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the NPP flagbearer has not outlined any reasonable, measureable or pragmatic measures to warrant such implausible promises. This very useless statement made by Ofosu, as I said before indicates that this boy is a true novice who will start to talk instinctively. Why am I saying this? The same Ofosu is telling us in the next paragraph that Nana made a promise (outlined a reasonable measureable and pragmatic measures) in his address at the KNUST.
The confused Ofosu, was reacting to Nana Akufo-Addo's promise while addressing NPP students at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, that he will not engage in a lip service if he becomes president and that he will bring the Better Ghana agenda to fruition. The NPP leader said he would move Ghana to a first world country with the creation of jobs and decent living conditions as his top priority.
However, Felix Kwakye on the Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen programme said Nana Akufo-Addo is visionless and a "belligerent braggart" who is prepared to plunge the country into anarchy just to win power in 2012. Kwakye will be voicing out words he does not really understand, How can Nana plunge the country into anarchy to win power? Again this Ofosu guy used a word like braggart which is normally written in capital letters on his own forehead.
?Nana Akufo-Addo cannot blackmail and threaten his way to the castle. He must show himself to be a credible candidate with the capacity to resolve our problems? he added. It is the first time I am hearing that someone can "blackmail" and threaten his way to a position. To me, it's an indication that the boy Kwakye Ofosu has completely lost his compass orientation and therefore moving about in any available direction. He is the only one bragging.
While Felix Kwakye Ofosu is demanding from Nana Akufo-Addo to demonstrate his ability to perform beyond reasonable doubt before the high office can be entrusted to him, he should tell us why the Ghanaian people must retain the NDC government.
Do we need some inexperienced small boys like Felix Kwakye Ofosu to be throwing dust onto our eyes?
