Ghanaian President in an Accident.

In Wa, June 2, GNA - Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) John Ferguson Dzineku, Upper West Regional Commander of Motor, Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) on Monday dispelled rumours in the Region that an accident that involved President Mills' convoy at the week-end was politically motivated.He said Mr Osman Sulemana who caused the accident that damaged one of the dispatch motors was a staunch National Democratic Congress (NDC) member.DSP Dzineku speaking to Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Wa said the accident occurred at a U-turn near Wa School for the Blind when Sulemana driving a Ford Ranger pick-up attempted to turn round in the presidential convoy.He said Lance Corporal Kenneth K. Kuranche, the Dispatch Rider who was in the inner lane trying to keep order in the convoy hit the side of the pick-up and somersaulted over its bonnet.DSP Dzineku said Lance Corporal Kuranche, who received serious injuries had been discharged after receiving treatment at Wa Regional Hospital, while Sulemana was on enquiry bail.
"Soon after the accident, rumours went round Wa Municipality that the accident was caused by NDC's political opponents which is not true. This is just an accident involving a presidential convoy and I do not know where these people had their information, "he said. DSP Dzineku advised activists and supporters of political parties to refrain from driving and riding along side convoys to avoid accidents.

U.S To Visit Ghana.

The proposed visit of US President, Barack Obama, to Ghana has whipped up frenzy among ordinary Nigerians and is now turning into a political and diplomatic ‘tug of words’. Mr Obama and his wife Michelle will visit Ghana in July, his fist trip to Africa as an American head of state.
Since the announcement was made earlier this month, some Nigerians, including some at the top of the political hierarchy are furious that Mr Obama’s choice of Ghana ahead of Nigeria, a strategic partner to the US and the ‘heavy weight’ of Africa, is not only a snub but a shame. But many simply argue that whilst Nigeria is a failed state Ghana is both a thriving democracy and a political success in Africa, thus Obama’s preference.
The latest to join the battle of words is the popular Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, who indicated that Obama’s choice of Ghana is a wise decision: "If Obama decides to grace Nigeria with his presence, I will stone him. The message he is sending by going to Ghana is so obvious, is so brilliant that he must not render it flawed by coming to Nigeria any time soon," he said.

IS IT RIGHT?

The NDC’s promise of a better Ghana; investing in People, Jobs, Economy, and their campaign mantra of CHANGE, provided the needed stimulus for the Ghanaian electorate to reject the government of the NPP, who were busily supervising an unprecedented mass unemployment and high cost of living and doing business.

To call a spade by its name, it will be impossible to explain the demise of the NPP government in the last elections outside indicators such as, the pervasiveness of violent crime, drug peddling and trade, official corruption, misplaced priority of government, nepotism, the collapse of state institution and the lack of clear policy direction for the ‘Next Generation’. Such was the extent of hopelessness when Ghanaians went to the polls in 2008.
