The youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the Young Patriots is wondering how the Mahama-led NDC administration can be expected to fix the problems confronting the nation when the Presidency appears to be so confused about the name of the location of its centre of authority to govern. The group strongly believes President John Dramani Mahama�s � state of mind can aptly be described as confused ,� claiming this has manifested in several ways including his (president�s) �reaction to the energy crisis, the confusion between his various statements on the state of the nation, his embarrassing reassignment of his ministers. Their assertions comes at the back of what appeared to be an official gaffe regarding the supposed change of name of the seat of Government, the Flag Staff House. �The state of mind of the President can aptly be described as confused. Lately, this has manifested in several ways including his reaction to the energy crisis, the confusion between his various statements on the state of the nation, his embarrassing reassignment of his ministers,�Even the fact that the President has been harassed by foot soldiers to do specific appointments to suit them confirms the President�s own admission in his book that his mind is �constantly plague with indecision" the Young Patriots said in a statement signed by its Chairman, Richard Nyamah.

"For Mr Ayariga, the least said the better�Mr Ayariga just a few weeks ago denied President Mahama has any links and has ever known �Mrs� Andrew Solomon, the renowned gay right activist and close friend of President Mahama. Last week Mr Ayariga denied the Presidency over spent its budget by some GHC 600m but as we speak, he is yet to fulfill his own promise to produce the real figures...But beyond Ayariga�s incompetence, is the double speak of the government and attempt to whitewash this mess. How on earth does Mr Stan Dogbe tell Ghanaians that Jubilee Flag-staff House is a typographical error? If with all the prove readers at the Presidency �Jubilee� added to Flag-staff House could not be spotted, then why do we pay them?", the statement read. Below is the full statement....
