The National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joshua Hamidu Akamba, has asked Ghanaians not to risk voting a divided New Patriotic Party (NPP) presided over by a dictator into office for another term.
Mr. Akamba is asserting that President Nana Akufo-Addo is gradually becoming a despot and if care is not taken, it will not help anyone, however, he wants Ghanaians to show President Akufo-Addo and his administration the exit in the upcoming 2020 elections.
According to him, Akufo-Addo’s leadership style is like former Ugandan military officer, Idi Amin Dada Oumee who served as the President of Uganda from 1971 to 1979.
However, he indicated that there are some weaknesses and lapses in the constitution which need to be amended.
“President Akufo-Addo is gradually becoming a tyrant in the League of Idi Amins”. He went on “Because, this conduct is unbecoming of a democratic society,” Joshua Akamba told Kwame Tutu on Anopa Nkomo on Accra-based Kingdom FM 107.7.
“We have elected a dictator. That is what we have set up in the constitution. There is no difference between him and the military leaders. Ghanaians must vote against him massively”, he disclosed.
Some leaders including Adolf Hitler and others did not begin as despots but, ‘’it is their people around them who fan their egos and created despots out of them…Let us not allow Nana Akufo Addo to become a despot, it will not help anybody.’’
A despot is a ruler or other person who holds absolute power, typically one who exercises it in a cruel or oppressive way.
He also indicated that governance in the country irrespective of the government in power has been taken as a joke.
He said the president who is touted as a human rights activist and campaigner should not be seen to endorse lawlessness and impunity under his watch.

You are right King. And because the National Executives of the NDC talks loosely it transcends to the Regional Executives and the NDC communicators, free for all. And if the NDC wins the elections (God forbid) all those with sharp mouths will be awarded with ministerial positions irrespective of their competence to the detriment of Mother Ghana
dont be a f**l. you do not know Idi Amin in anyway. Even Rawlings with all his killings would not near idi Amin. please research properly and if you were told of the story of Idi Amin, please go back and listen to the story well. it took external force to take him out of power. dont be a f**l because you do not look like one.
....and your ***barred word*** is angel right? Politics paaaa nie?
I just have the belief that Ndc seeing their loosing the 2020 elections have resorted to saying all sorts of things. I pity them though, are these the party that ruled Ghana for 8 years; Oh God, please spare us these people again on mother Ghana
How come every National Executive member of the NDC talks loosely. From Mahama, Ofosu Ampofo, Asiedu Nketia, Akamba, Kwahu Boahen, Sammy Gyamfi, Chief Biney, Otokunor, Anita DeSoso all of them. Every party has loose talkers but in the NDC it's everybody, as if there are no elders in the party
Iddi Amin would have killed you for just this comment. That's how wrong you are.
Akamba is a prodigal son.
