I am among the first voices to raise the alarm bells about the need for his Excellency to review some things and move in the right direction, which he, with extreme humility complied with and made sure proper things were put in place; and in doing that I saw the humility in this gentleman, he did not in any way try to show that he had the whole power of the nation at his disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n The NPP’s Peter Mac Manu disagrees<\/strong><\/p>\n But the Campaign Manager of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP, \u00a0Peter Mac Manu, says majority of the Ghanaian electorate are eager to vote massively for the main opposition party and make Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo the next president of Ghana.<\/p>\n \u201cNPP is coming back to power and nobody, whether the Electoral Commission, the police or gangsters, can stop the NPP from clinching victory in the country\u2019s upcoming general election.<\/p>\n \u201cI am saying this because wherever I have been to in the country, majority of the people are determined to vote for the NPP; and the voice of the people is the voice of God and no one can stand in the way of God,\u201d the NPP campaign manager affirmed.<\/p>\n
