Akwasi Addai Odike, founder and leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), has urged Ghanaians to choose their leaders devoid of emotions.
He has, rather, called for the application of commonsense in selecting people to lead. He explains the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) have both failed the State despite the opportunities they’ve got to rule.
The nature of the Constitution, according to Odike, is the reason the NPP and NDC have ruled for almost 40 years without any progress.
Speaking on Pae Mu Ka, an afternoon political show on Onua FM Tuesday, May 22, 2024, Odike lamented how some countries whom Ghana was better off than, have surpassed the nation.
He called on Ghanaians to reject the NPP and NDC and vote for Alan Kyerematen whose incorruptibility, he noted, is above every other politician in the country.
“Our current constitutional dispensation will take us backwards if we give the NPP and NDC 1,000 years to rule. We shouldn’t use our emotions to choose leaders. We should apply commonsense because we have handed them power for almost 40 years yet we always retrogress. There were countries we were better of than who have now surpassed us,” he stated.
Extolling Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen as the ideal candidate for the upcoming December polls, Odike said there is no politician in the country that can compare himself to the leader of the Alliance for Revolutionary Change (ARC) which is party, UPP is part.
“Alan Kyerematen was part of them (NPP) but he has no single record that shows he is corrupt. Alan Kyerematen is uncompromisingly incorruptible. I don’t tolerate nonsense, neither do I follow someone because of his background but how the person has carried himself and his vision for his people.
“There is no politician in Ghana that can compare himself to him when it comes to composure and delivery. One District One Factory is his brainchild but they sent the secretariat to the Jubilee House under Gifty Ohene Konadu to mess it up,” Odike told host, Yaa Titi Okrah, in Twi.
