President Kuffour Is A Political Hypocrite

Instead of telling Nana Akufo-Addo in the face that Ghanaians don’t want him as president, Kuffour is hypocritically endorsing Akufo-Addo under pretense. Kuffour is rather spelling a political doom for Nana Akufo-Addo and come Dec. 2012, it will be over for Nana Akufo-Addo.
Ghanaians yearn for Nana Akufo-Addo indeed!. Sometimes I wonder how politicians can open their loud mouth at any angle and say anything they like. Nana Akufo-Addo served under Kuffour for eight (8) good years. As far as I am concern, he (Nana Addo) held two (2) high profile portfolios in the Kuffour administration as the Justice Minister and as Minister for Foreign Affairs. Can Kuffour come out to tell the Ghanaians what significant role Nana Akufo-Addo played in the development of this country? I am very sure that, if not because of other influential figures in the party, Kuffour would have drop Nana Addo from his cabinet.
Ex President Kuffour is a political hypocrite because right from day one, he had never liked the flagbearership of Nana Akufo-Addo, why because he (Nana Addo) has no credibility. He preferred Alan Kyeremanteng to Akufo-Addo. Today, Kuffour is saying Ghanaians yearn for Nana Akufo-Addo. Well, let me re-phrase his sentence again. “Some Ghanaians (NPP) yearns for Nana Akufo-Addo”. I am surprised at Kuffour hypocritical attitude when it comes to the flagbearership of the NPP because he knows deep down his heart that Nana Akufo-Addo is not his choice and will not win the coming elections.
Ah! My goodness, why am I even bothering my head over this Narcotic Peddlers? What was Kuffour’s own performance as former president for eight (8) solid years? He took Ghana to HIPC due to his selfish and secret agenda. All Kuffour did was to amass a lot of wealth for himself and his family. His son, Chief Kuffour filed for bankruptcy in the USA and came back to Ghana during his father’s presidency. Chief Kuffour is now the owner of a multimillion dollar hotel.
In furtherance, Ex President Kuffour said Nana Akufo-Addo has shown impressive restraint in the face of petty and rather immature propaganda by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and despite being the target of persistent vile propaganda and concoctions, the flagbearer of has shown impeccable maturity and restraint by not responding in like manner. This is laughable. Mr. Kuffour, what is there to respond to when all the vile propaganda and concoctions are true? Everything that has been said about Nana Akufo-Addo by the NDC is the truth and Kuffour knows that for a fact, but because of his political hypocrisy, he is blindly defending the indefensible.
I don’t know why these Narcotic Peddlers a defending someone who is not deaf and dumb? Can’t Nana Akufo-Addo speak for himself? Why must an accusation or allegation against the horse be defended by the goat? Can’t the horse speak for itself? O Lord, I am sick and tired of this Narcotic Peddlers Party.
Nana Akufo-addo should not dream of becoming the president of Ghana because it will never happen. Ghanaians have seen a lot of improvement under the NDC and will renew the mandate for President Atta-Mills to continue with the Better Ghana Agenda which is very well on course.
