President Nana Akufo-Addo and his New Patriotic Party (NPP) will continue to do what is right even if that will cost them the 2020 elections, Mr. John Boadu, acting general secretary of the ruling party has declared.
Speaking on Peacefm’s “Kokroko” Morning Show on the recent gas explosion in Accra, Mr. Boadu said the fear of losing elections has made many leaders to condone injustice and crime.
“We are fighting galamsey with all the resources we can command and we will continue to do so even if it will make us lose the 2020 elections.
“This country needs a leader who just wants to do the right things and does not care about the consequences.
“This is what President Akufo-Addo is doing,” he said.
Last year, former President Mahama was vilified when he said that he didn’t mind doing the right things and losing the election. He was commenting on his government’s decision to redraw nurse and teacher training allowances.
His opponents described his remarks as insensitive.

U rather need brain transplant @ Killer. So unfortunate people like u has chance writing kwasiaasem here. 2020 is jxt here, your arogant posture will be subdued.
Fight against galamsey n withdrawal of allowance are both decisions by our gov'ts which has mutiple implications and thus can be compared.
I DO AGREE WITH U @ ALUTA
trash, i support u a lot sometimes the way some people speak they actually need brain transplant to correct the defect in their brains. what has the fight of galamsey got to do with withdrawal of allowances. masa better make good comparison next time. kwasiaa
INTERESTING. DOES IT MEAN WHEN GRADUATES (FROM BOTH UNIVERSITY AND POLYTECHNICS)DON'T GET EMPLOYED AFTER GRADUATION THEN IT REQUIRES THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD RESTRICT THE INTAKE OF STUDENTS INTO THESE INSTITUTIONS? NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION. IF MORE NURSES GET ENROLLED INTO NURSING TRAINING COLLEGES AND FINALLY GRADUATE INCREASING THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATES IN THE COUNTRY THE SITUATION WILL CALL FOR OTHER PRAQMATIC MEASURES TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION. (NECESSITY WILL REQUIRE USING OUR BRAINS TO SOLVE THE EXISTING PROBLEMS CREATED BY MASS ENROLLMENT OF NURSES. EVERY LIVING CREATURE ADOPT NEW MEASURES TO COMBAT OR OVERCOME AN EXISTING PROBLEM CREATED EITHER BY NATURE OR BY THEY THEMSELVES. RESTRICTING ENTRY INTO INSTITUTIONS JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE PAID ALLOWANCES IS AN AFRONT TO ANYONE'S DREAM OF ACHIEVING HIS/HER BIRTH RIGHT. EDUCATION IS A RIGHT AND NOT A PREVILLAGE. LETS GET THAT RIGHT.
Aaba master, master stomach journalist how can u equate galamsay fight to widrawal of allowances. Galamsay destroys arable lands for farming, water bodies for drinking and domestic use while restoration of teachers allowances is poverty reduction strategy for the under privillege. Every profession restricts entry; what is the benefit of producing thousands of nurses and teachers who cannot be employed after training.
