He said the attitude of not prioritising Ghana raises questions on patriotism among Ghanaians
“Nationalism and patriotism have become very deficient today. Absolutely nobody thinks about the country first.”
“We all think about ourselves first, our families second, our parties third maybe our communities fourth and Ghana comes a fifth or even tenth.”
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) which is currently the largest opposition party in the country has struggled with ideological identity. Some leading members of the party have often aligned themselves with the principles of Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s Convention People’s Party (CPP).

Former president John Mahama, however, believes the party must blame itself for the state of affairs.
“It has taken the party 25 years to come around the idea of a party school. Within that time frame, NDC activists have very little understanding of their ideological roots which he has not augured well for party unity and grassroots mobilisation,” he said.
