I won\u2019t be surprised if [former] President [John] Mahama wins with a landslide victory, not below 53%,\u201d Dr Agumenu has observed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is important in this moment is for us to respect the sovereign will of the people and do what\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the leadership and governance expert, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) owe it as a duty to Ghanaians and the entire nation to ensure votes are protected and the apparent change will deliver results of economic prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Agumenu said the packaging of key achievable policy measures by the NDC is very important in getting the trust and support of the electorates.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cJohn and Jane\u2019s ticket comes with trusted experience and practice while the competition is still dealing with apprenticeship skills. Matching master to master would have been a different exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Agumenu pointed out that with the resources available to the current leadership if Bawumia\u2019s leadership and technical skills were something to write home about, President Akufo-Addo would have outperformed President Nkrumah \u201cif we accepted to go on the tangent of the NPP\u2019s comparison matrix of politicking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also condemned the assassination attempt on President Trump\u2019s life, saying that any genuine pursuit towards building a sustainable society where humanity lives in peace and security should not be that toxic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhanaians must take a leaf from what is happening in the United States and across the world to defend the peace architecture of Ghana in the upcoming December polls,\u201d the leadership and governance expert added.<\/p>\n<p>He has therefore called on all voters to be vigilant and choose the obvious ticket led by former President Mahama.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/news\/politics\/dr-agumenu-akufo-addo-knows-change-is-around\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr Agumenu: Akufo-Addo knows change is
