A member of the Communications Team of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Felix Kwakye-Ofosu, has posited that the show of �latent anger� by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is because they have a �culture of entitlement� so draped around them that they feel they are the only ones predestined to rule over Ghanaians. According to him, the NPP believes that nobody but their party has the clout to lead the country that is why they are so uncomfortable with the fact that the NDC is the governing party. Felix Kwakye-Ofosu was commenting on the infamous �win at all cost� remark by the 2012 presidential candidate of the NPP, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo. The NPP flagbearer, at a recent meeting with students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) branch of the NPP, is reported to have said that the NPP is the only party in the country that can make the much desired transformation a reality, and urged the students to ensure that he is elected president in 2012 �at all cost�. He added that the world has no time for visionless and unimaginative leaders and needs leaders who can think and act big to bring development in a country, hence his plea to be elected as president. But speaking as a panelist on Radio Gold�s Alhaji and Alhaji programme, the Oil and Gas Analyst opined that the NPP acts as if �they are the only ones who have been ordained to lead the country and Nana also believes very much in this kind of politicking. For that reason they still did not believe that the people of Ghana chose not to vote for them and that has led to the build-up of the latent anger and that is why they use this kind of insulting language. It is not from nothing; it comes from a latent anger... that is why he has been making statements like that.�
