The Founder of the All Peoples Congress (APC), , has blamed leaders of this country for failing in the execution of their duties despite the rich minerals God has blessed Ghana with.
According to him, the country has not benefited from the leadership of the two main political parties in 32 years since the dawn of the fourth republic.
said, "The leaders who have led this country have failed us.
Thirty-two (32) years down the lane, we have seen parties change leadership: 16 years - 8 years each, in our fourth republic, and you can tell that nothing good is coming out of their leadership.
Look at the roads in Accra, it is terrible.
That is the capital city of the country. "Look at the living conditions of the people living in Accra.
Go to Circle and see how people are sleeping under bridges.
They can't get proper water to bath.
There is shortage of water everyday.
Prices of goods and services increase outrageously; it increases almost every day." He made this statement in an interview with Etsey Atisu, host of Election Desk on TV. "So, do we have the leader?
We have oil, bauxite, manganese, diamond, cocoa, timber, and anything you can mention of mineral resources.
Ghana is richly rewarded by God.
But what we don't have is the leadership.
That is why our people are struggling and suffering," he said.
He added that the youth of Ghana have no future because they struggle to get jobs when they come out of school.
added that he grew up in Germany and had a car at the age of 16 years, plus chains of pizza companies and restaurants at the age of 18 to 20 years, but the youth of this country still struggle even to get three square meals a day.
He said that the enabling environment that helped him achieve all that he did at that early age is what he wants for Ghanaians as a leader. "We talk about jobs; the youth of Ghana don't have jobs.
They come out of school and they are no Jobs.
So, there is no future for any young man in Ghana under the two leaderships.
I grew up in Germany, and at the age of 16, I had a car.
By ages 18 and 19, 20 I had a chain of pizza companies and restaurants, running them and making money.
By 20 to 21 years, I was already fine. "If I can achieve all those things at the age of 20-21 and I'm okay.
Go abroad and you will see that many young people at that age are fine, ours are still struggling to get three square meals, not even three, two. "The enabling environment that helped me achieve all those things is what I want for my people," he stated.
