Inspirational Speaker Charles Sam has described as negative and dangerous, Nana Akufo-Addo�s �all-die-be-die� comment he made in the lead up to the 2012 elections. According to the Golden Future Promotions Chief Executive, �a lot of us politicians, not only him [Nana Akufo-Addo], have made very bad dangerous statements�. �When you tell a young person that, that young person thinks that oh damn �I don�t care about my life, my life doesn�t matter, I can do anything. It is a very serious statement". The twice-defeated presidential candidate of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) received a lot of flak for making the comment but he persistently defended it as a call to self-defense rather than an incitement to violence. However, Mr Charles Sam condemned the comment unreservedly on his programme One Nation on Radio XYZ. He said such a comment, from no less a person than a politician who could be described as a statesman, risked sparking violence and destruction.
