politics as well as leadership is not about fame,misuse of poor tax payers money,riding in luxirous cars,power or greatness.it is about the well being of the poor innocent homeless but not hopeless people in deprived communities suffering from all forms of injustices,diseases and amny other inhuman acts.but thank GOD I shall be part of the new breed of young leaders who will clean the erroneous impression people have for some african leaders.I shall not fail mother ghana,mother africa and its citizens and i know with GOD by my side i shall surely put smiles on the faces of the poor innocent homeless but not hopeless people especially kids whose parents are not financially loaded in society.
