Rather,<br \/>\nthey should return the incumbent President, John Mahama, who has no<br \/>\ndoubt done creditably well to deserve a re-election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhanaians should know that the change in Nigeria brought hunger,<br \/>\nsuffering, disregard for the rule of law as well as arrest and<br \/>\ndetention of Nigerians without trial and be mindful of those preaching<br \/>\nchange to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost importantly, the situation in Ghana at present is similar to<br \/>\nthat of Nigeria. Like President Mohammadu Buhari, opposition party,<br \/>\nNew Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo has contested the<br \/>\npresidency two times. This is the third time he is contesting. He is<br \/>\nalso 74 year-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Nigeria, change is synonymous with economic recession that is even<br \/>\ngetting to the level of depression. Even majority of those who brought<br \/>\nthe change are now regretting it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, tell your people in Ghana that Nigerians are already<br \/>\nregretting the change they made last year, which has plunged the<br \/>\ncountry into serious economic hardship. Tell them to learn from<br \/>\nNigerians and reject those preaching message of change to them. They<br \/>\nshould hold on to the government that they have now and beware of a<br \/>\nchange that will take their country to economic recession.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the December 7 presidential election in Ghana draws near, Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has counselled the people of Ghana to be mindful of making the same mistake&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
