John Kufuor

Even six thousand of them cannot be employed, yet we have twenty-two billion cedis going down the drain.

When under J.A. Kufuor, the criminal libel law was repealed, the message to Ghanaians was that, "Look, if you are affected by the utterances of any individual or any publication, use the civil law to deal with it." And I think it's fair.

But to now be arresting people for excesses in free speech, I think that it reduces the confidence people have in our democracy and create fear.

If we disagree, it is not the criminal justice system that you use.

Ghanaians would have insisted that he stayed in power after 2000.

Why did he, why, was, was Kufuor a sharpshooter? Was Atta Mills a sharpshooter? Was Akufo-Addo a sharpshooter? Was Mahama a sharpshooter? So based on what do you think that Ghanaians are so gullible that all that we are looking for will be to vote for a party that has people who can shoot guns? Who are you, are we at war with? Who are we fighting? Who is Ghana fighting? Who is NPP even fighting? Who is NPP fighting? And you hear people say Kojo Bambah said, uh,

He said he was going to protect the ballot, um, box.

How? How? How? When eight people died in an election in this country, the eight members were perceived NDC members, right?

The-- w-what I will say is that successive, uh, previous government, based on varied challenges that occasioned during their regime, came up with some positives.

We saw that from President Kufuor's time when, uh, we used to be held to the gun by tow workers going on demonstration here and there and that, other issues.

And then tow not being able to push on their cost of production to the market because of government want-- was subsidizing.

That created the, the BDC sector, which has reliably kept the country wet in all these years.

Thank you very much, uh, Lukeman Salifu, who is public health engineering expert, CEO of Waste Care Associates and CEO of, uh, Lasso Technologies, joining us here on the Super Morning Show.

So let's hear NPP's flagbearer and presidential candidate into the 2028 elections, former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and former President J.A. Kufuor.

Let's now get onto the phone lines and speak to former Speaker of Ghana's, uh, you know, Parliament, uh, Professor Mike Okude, uh, who is also a member of the NPP.

But we speak to him as a political scientist because, uh, Professor Mike Okude, uh, you know, for years was a lecturer at the University of Ghana Political Science Department.

Okay.

A- a- and talking about under the leadership of, uh, Bawumia, the NPP since the t- term, I mean, tenure of J.

A. Kufuor, there were, you know, proposals to have the president as leader of the party.

Uh, at the time, I know that Nana Akufo-Addo, Dan Kwesi Botwe fought that proposal.

We are at the same stage now.

We need that leadership that will convince Ghanaians de NPP is ready to even do better than when, um, Akufo-Addo and President Kufuor led us.

And in Dr. Bawumia, I can assure you that Ghana will become one of the most transformed country in the world.

And he has shown it when he was the vice president.
