THE CHARACTER, ATTITUDE AND ACTIONS OF NPP PRESIDENTS AS STATESMEN AND ALL EMBRACING LEADERS IS VERY MUCH OUTSTANDING. THEY ARE NOT MYOPIC AND PESSIMISTIC AND THEY HAVE NO INFERIORITY COMPLEX. THEY THINK BIG FOR GHANA AND SUPPORT GHANAIANS FOR HIGHER GOALS AND ACHIEVEMENTS, IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR POLITICAL INCLINATION. NDC LEADERS ARE VERY DIFFERENTLY. E.G. WHEN KUFUOR WAS CONSIDERED FOR IBRAHIM MO AWARD FOR BEST AFRICAN LEADER AT HIS TIME, THE NDC GOVERNMENT UNDER MILLS SECRETLY SENT A DELEGATION UNDER EX VICE CHANCELLOR OF A PROMINENT UNIVERSITY IN GHANA TO OPPOSE HIS CHOICE FOR THE AWARD. ALAN KYEREMATENG WHEN AT AFRICAN UNION OFFICE IN ETHIOPIA WAS HIGHLY TIPPED FOR THE TOP OFFICE OF THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION. IF THE THEN NDC GOVERNMENT HAD GENUINELY GIVEN HIM THE NEEDED SUPPORT HE WOULD HAVE WON THE TOP OFFICE FOR GHANA. KUFFUOR AND AKUFFO ADDO AS GOOD AND NATIONAL ORIENTED LEADERS SUPPORT GHANAIANS WHO GET THE OPPORTUNITY FOR INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNMENT WHICH TO ENHANCES THE IMAGE OF GHANA BEYOND A POLITICAL PARTY. KUFFUOR SUPPORTED IBIN CHAMBERS AND SPIO GABRAH FOR IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL OFFICES. NOW AKKUFO ADDO HAS BEGUN TO EXHIBIT SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS.THEY THINK BEYOND THEIR POLITICAL PARTY. THEY ARE NOT MYOPIC. THEY THINK AND ACT NOT AS PARTY PRESIDENTS BUT AS NATIONAL PRESIDENTS AND BEHAVE AS STATESMEN. THEY HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY ARE FATHERS TO ALL GHANAIANS AND THEY BELONG TO A PARTY THAT IS A MOTHER TO ALL IN GHANA. IT IS TIME NOW FOR THEM TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THEIR PARTY FROM NEW TO NATIONAL PATRIOTIC PARTY WHICH REFLECT THEIR TRUE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY. AS A GOOD LEADER AND A STATESMAN KUFFUOR KEEP RECEIVING SO MANY INTERNATIONAL AWARD AND APPOINTMENT. IT IS CLEAR THAT AKKUFO ADDO WOULD FOLLOW SUIT.

Great,'M'adamfo.''They' thought they were despising you when they 'credited' others for your 'great works'. But GOD has spoken clearly that HE is in charge of destiny.Not the 'vindictive, unreasonable,shortsighted,idle,and '***barred word***' brigade. You reap what you sow. God bless you for your 'PETROLEUM VENTURE' legacy.
