Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah (Rtd), a former Chief of Defence Staff has forecast a bleak future for Ghana if the country continues to stay on its current path.
According to him, no President has been able to match up and do what Ghana’s first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah has done. He noted that leadership of the country by both the governing New Patriotic Party and the opposition National Democratic Congress have only taken opportunity given them by Ghanaians to rule the country to better themselves and not position the country for a brighter future.
“When I look into the future in a crystal ball I see only hell and so I say what is going to happen to Ghana when I’m gone,” quizzed in an interview on Accra based Joy fm monitored by dreamzfmonline.com.
Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah earlier this week announced his decision to join a newly formed political party called the Ghana Union Movement, founded by christian leader Rev. Christian Andrew.
“I’m looking for a future for our country. We can’t even feed ourselves,” he added.
He bemoaned the high cost of living in Ghana citing the expensive cost of food, a situation he says negates the claims of achievements made by the two major political parties in Ghana.
He forcefully argued that Ghana is “going nowhere. We are just blowing hot air”.
Though he is not interested in actively taking up a leadership role in his newly found political fraternity, the onetime security adviser under the erstwhile Mills administration said “I just want to see the vision that I have dreamed of realized in Ghana before I depart. That vision, I don’t see any of the two parties achieving it”.
