Buhari’s victory: NPP deluding themselves with false hopes – NDC
The General Secretary of the governing National
Democratic Congress (NDC) has said those riding on
the opposition APC and Mahammudu Buhari’s
victory in Nigeria’s presidential election to
predict victory for Ghana’s main opposition New
Patriotic Party and flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo in
the 2016 elections are deluding themselves.

The opposition supporters have been drawing some
similarities between President-elect, General
Buhari and their 2016 presidential candidate.

They believe that Mr. Buhari’s victory is an
indication that a similar victory can be recorded
by the NPP come 2016.

But speaking to Starr News, Asiedu Nketia,
popularly known as general Mosquito said members
of the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition are leaning
on false hopes.

“They (NPP) are engaged in lotto forecasting,
where they look into the skies and car numbers and
predict lotto numbers.

“I do not think that their assumptions are based
on any reasonable intellectual argument at
all”.

Buhari, a former Nigerian army general who took
power three decades ago in a military coup, beat
the incumbent and main rival Goodluck Jonathan in
a historic presidential election.

The 72-year-old stretched Mr Jonathan by about 2
million votes, a testament to the faith Nigerians
have put in him as a born-again democrat intent on
cleaning up Nigeria's perceived corrupt politics.
