A former deputy General Secretary for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Obiri Boahen says, Africans will prefer their colonial masters to their own leaders, if we are to conduct elections.
He is of the conviction that, African politicians and leaders have failed their people, causing them frustration.
“If we are to conduct elections across the Africa continent now, 99.9% of African countries will vote for their colonial masters. This is because African leaders, intellectuals, statemen, academicians have failed their citizens” he said.
Speaking in an interview on the state of Ghana Show, on Kumasi based Wontumi TV, on 23rd March, 2024, Mr Boahen stressed on the mismanagement of the state by African leaders, outlining their unfulfilled promises when they are elected into power.
“Let’s take Ghana for instance, per capita income of this country used to be high than that of South Korea, India, and Holland but now these reference countries are even better than us” he added.
