Rather unfortunate. I urge the youth especially those in politics to guard against such statements. We have seen people who have worked hard for political parties to win power and they ended up getting nothing, absolutely nothing. In Ghana politics if you don't have a godfather who occupies a key position in a party thread with caution. It's a matter of time, immediately they win power it's time for relatives, school mates and tribesmen to enjoy. We are seeing it happening all over. I know people who did more than these young man but today some are worse off than when their cherished party was in opposition. Fear the Ghanaian politician.Its not your hard work, insulting political opponents and inciting others that will get you a position or wealth when your party wins. In all things build relationships with both sides of the political divide. Not be surprised there are people you have never heard of in the media who will become MMDCEs, CEO's and ministers should the NDC win power. Today you may think you are on the same page with your party big gurus, you will get to know they have a different mind when they win power. It's currently happening and can happen again so be very careful my brother.
