Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, New Patriotic Party’s flag-bearer

President Mills must sit up, says Akufo- Addo
The New Patriotic Party’s presidential candidate,
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on
President J.E.A. Mills to act as a responsible
leader in the run up to the December general
elections.

According to the NPP flag-bearer, ultimate
responsibility rests on President Mills to ensure
that politics in Ghana is devoid of insults and
rather focused on issues.

He was speaking to Joy FM’s Sammy Darko in an
interview a day after Dr. Bawumia's diagnosis of
Ghana’s economy.

Said Nana Addo, “Let the president show the way as
to his desire for the politics of issues and
discussions and the rest of us will follow.”

Nana Addo questioned President Mills’ commitment
to free and fair elections when the biometric
registration has been characterized by pockets of
violence. “Is that the free and fair elections we
are going to have that we have seen in the
registration?” Nana Addo quizzed.

The presidential aspirant also took a swipe at the
police over the recent biometric registration
violence, saying “...The police who stand-by and
watch women brutalized by members of the NDC
without lifting a finger only to be told that
Ursula Owusu was at the wrong place at the wrong
time, is that the atmosphere we want for free and
fair elections in our country?”

According to Nana Addo, the instruments of law and
order are in the hands of the president. If he
tells them to do their duty without fear or favour
we will have law and order in our country.

Nana Addo, however, declined to comment on the
alleged treasonable comments made by the NPP MP
for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong, adding that the
matter is before court and would not be
appropriate to make any comments.
