“If we’re looking for an editor for a tax law journal, Professor Mills will be absolutely brilliant and there will be absolutely no challenger in that field” but according to Mustapha Hamid, the search is not for an editor of a tax law journal but a leader to lead the Ghanaian political project. Speaking on Joy News Television’s political talk show, Minority Caucus on Multi TV, Mr. Hamid said “the results in the (past) 4 years have shown that he (President Mills) doesn’t have the passion and commitment” to lead the Ghanaian political project. According to him, the kind of leader needed for this project is one who is committed, passionate, courageous and is ready and willing to accept responsibility. Attributes he says the opposition leader clearly demonstrates. Mr. Hamid argued that whereas Nana Addo has dedicated more than half of his life to the course of advancing the ‘Ghanaian political project’, President Mills has not shown much commitment making him unqualified to lead the project. “From the young age of 33, he’s been involved in this Ghanaian project, now he’s about 67, so for more than half of his life’s existence on earth, he’s been dedicated to the Ghanaian project. That’s what we mean by passion and commitment” Mustapha Hamid said of Nana Addo. President Mills on the other hand he contended “was pulled into this matter reluctantly in 1996 under the wings of former President Jerry Rawlings, that’s how come he’s here. It’s not a passion of his, it’s not being his commitment like some of us. And we’re looking for a leader for a political project not a leader to chair a journal on tax law” a position Mustapha Hamid thinks the president is best placed to occupy.
