All Presidential Candidates Deserves a Fair Hearing Because Every Leadership Has its own Vision and Style ~ Razak Kojo Opoku

The vision, direction and interest of a Son might differs from that of his father. As rational human beings, we can’t say that, we are proud of all the decisions and legacies of our parents and Bosses.

We see and judge issues differently. Even identical twins do not have the same vision, ambition, interest and particular style of addressing issues.

The vision of Mentee may be different from the vision of the Mentor.

A Political Party always give birth to different governments and each government is certainly different from each other though they are produced by the same Party.

12. Mills served in Rawlings Government as Vice-President yet did not follow the path and footsteps of his Boss Rawlings. John Mahama served in Rawlings Government as a Minister and in Mills government as Vice-President yet Mahama’s vision for Ghana was completely different from his Bosses, Rawlings and Mills.

13. John Kufuor served in Busia’s government but Kufuor’s vision and approach to governance was completely different from Busia.
