Politics aside, Dr Duffuor’s Lecture was a breath of fresh air

His Ghana dream lecture that’s making the headlines, which framed his own unlikely life story as a celebration of the Ghanaian dream, had struck an optimistic public nerve that defied ideological barriers – People from all political persuasions are intune with the message of hope preached at the lecture.

All of a sudden, it seemed, Dr Duffuor is in a position to deliver an early — and stunning — knockout blow if he enters the NDC presidential race.

A clubhouse survey released last night showed that 57% of the contributors have a favorable view of Dr Duffuor compared to 41% who feel that way about John Mahama.

Joojo Dadson from the Ghana Democracy Forum in a remark on Clubhouse said: “Duffuor represents the only viable alternative to the NPP in any shape or form.

Duffuor is the right man to lead Ghana”

“The man is simply a breath of fresh air after the ding dongs we’ve had in this fourth republic – Smart, competent, serious with a dash of a sense of humor when appropriate,” Joojo Dadson added.

Another contributor, Awudu Alhassan from Youth Alliance Ghana said that Dr.

Duffuor had scored an “injury time winner”, and he predicted that NDC could now go on to win the next election if Duffuor is on the ticket.

“This was a real NDC speech from a real NDC leader.

“On the specifics he was talking about things that people really want.

That’s my kind of a leader”, Awudu Alhassan concluded.

Oh yes, there appears to be a coalition of willing people from all political divide seeking to push the Duffuor for President 2024 agenda.

A man driven by excellence –  A leader with the fearlessness, practicality, and persistence it will require to bring solutions to our numerous problems.

If there’s anyone who is going to connect with, and unapologetically stand with the ordinary people, it is Dr Duffuor – A very smart and  strategic personality with a fair amount of charisma.

Duffuor will work in the same way he has spent his industrious career as a banker, economist and public servant: he will work smarter, fight tougher, and persist longer than anyone else.

Ghana need a president who is going to dig in, do the hard work and actually get the job done.

I know quite a number of people who are excited about Duffour’s candidacy but who suspect that somehow, when push comes to shove, the power structure in the NDC won’t let him win the NDC nomination – But it is important for the NDC to seize the moment and show the world that the party is ready for the future as an alternative government in waiting.

The Ghanaian people are looking for a big change in 2024 and they are looking up to the NDC to offer a credible alternative.

This is not a game show where you’ve got a buzzer, and once you hit the buzzer, you win some money.
