How exciting!<\/p>\n<p>Ghanaians are very sharp and wide awake to the democratic dispensation prevailing in the country and elsewhere on the African continent now. Surely, we must continue to move our country forward, but we NEED TO CHANGE as we do that. WHY?<\/p>\n<p>BECAUSE, we need to learn lessons from our sister nations. Keeping one party in government for more than two terms is a recipe for complacency, arrogance, perpetuation of selfishness, greed, corruption and what have you. We all can rightly guess the consequences of such behaviours all over Africa. It\u2019s not wise to experience all situations before advising oneself. Sometimes, one needs to LEARN from other people\u2019s experiences. We know of the Idi Amins, the Mobutu Seseseko\u2019s of old and we are not mindless of the Mugabe\u2019s of today. Ghanaians do not need to get there at all!<\/p>\n<p>We are blessed with many great women and men in Ghana. The two contestants for the presidency, Professor Atta Mills and Nana Akuffo Addo Danquah are all great and illustrious sons of Ghana. They all merit the presidential position. But the thing is the National Patriotic Party (NPP) has reigned for two terms so that\u2018s ok for now. The CPP has proved to Ghanaians that they are not ready yet. May be they would by the year 2016 when we would change again (one term is reasonably too short). Otherwise we bring NPP back into governance. My people, lets CHANGE while we move forward.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, I urge you all, VOTEZ Professor Mills!!!<\/p>\n<p>Grace Amenyogbeli<br \/>Administration Manager<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana\u2019s political atmosphere is charged with a lot of slogans in the bid to choose the president of the nation.
