But the Eagle was in wait, preparing himself to launch a powerful blitz. He’s coming like a tornado and roaring like a lion.

Critics could have pounced on it and masquerade in the streets of Accra chanting—‘nepotism democracy or hypocrisy democracy. By putting his best foot forward President of the Republic of Ghana Akufo-Addo has cut the head of the poisonous snake. Now let the cobra twitch its tail.
