Leadership
and
governance
expert,
Dr.
Donald
Agumenu
says
President
Nana
Akufo-Addo
as
an
experienced
politician
knows
change
is
bound
to
happen
in
this
year’s
December
general
elections.
“He
knows
in
his
heart
of
hearts
of
the
dynamics-
I
do
not
think
he
is
oblivious
of
the
fact
that
a
wind
of
change
is
blowing
across
the
country
and
this
was
the
same
atmosphere
that
favoured
him
(Akufo-Addo)
in
2016.
I
won’t
be
surprised
if
[former]
President
[John]
Mahama
wins
with
a
landslide
victory,
not
below
53%,”
Dr
Agumenu
has
observed.
“What
is
important
in
this
moment
is
for
us
to
respect
the
sovereign
will
of
the
people
and
do
what’s
right.”
According
to
the
leadership
and
governance
expert,
the
opposition
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
owe
it
as
a
duty
to
Ghanaians
and
the
entire
nation
to
ensure
votes
are
protected
and
the
apparent
change
will
deliver
results
of
economic
prosperity.
Dr
Agumenu
said
the
packaging
of
key
achievable
policy
measures
by
the
NDC
is
very
important
in
getting
the
trust
and
support
of
the
electorates.
He
said,
“John
and
Jane’s
ticket
comes
with
trusted
experience
and
practice
while
the
competition
is
still
dealing
with
apprenticeship
skills.
Matching
master
to
master
would
have
been
a
different
exercise.”
Dr.
Agumenu
pointed
out
that
with
the
resources
available
to
the
current
leadership
if
Bawumia’s
leadership
and
technical
skills
were
something
to
write
home
about,
President
Akufo-Addo
would
have
outperformed
President
Nkrumah
“if
we
accepted
to
go
on
the
tangent
of
the
NPP’s
comparison
matrix
of
politicking.”
He
also
condemned
the
assassination
attempt
on
President
Trump’s
life,
saying
that
any
genuine
pursuit
towards
building
a
sustainable
society
where
humanity
lives
in
peace
and
security
should
not
be
that
toxic.
“Ghanaians
must
take
a
leaf
from
what
is
happening
in
the
United
States
and
across
the
world
to
defend
the
peace
architecture
of
Ghana
in
the
upcoming
December
polls,”
the
leadership
and
governance
expert
added.
He
has
therefore
called
on
all
voters
to
be
vigilant
and
choose
the
obvious
ticket
led
by
former
President
Mahama.
