Poet Nana Asaase has said a benevolent dictator could help turn Ghana’s fortunes around.

“We need some benevolent dictatorship, somebody who would come in, very endearing to the people; our leaders could be like that yet would tell us as a nation: ‘This is where we are going,’” he told Prince Minkah on the Executive Breakfast Show on Class91.3FM on Friday June 3 during a discussion in remembrance of the June 3 flood and fire disasters which killed about 150 people at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra.
