AKUFFO ADDO HAS NO LUCK.

The twice defeated flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo is said to have no divine blessings to lead the people of Ghana as President. A veteran politician, Mr. Joshua Attoh Quarshie buttressing his assertions said it is not surprising that the people of Ghana keep rejecting Nana Addo during the general elections because all four attempts by Nana Akuffo Addo to lead the National Ghana Bar Association as president was fruitless as he was not voted for. Mr. Joshua Attoh Quarshie made these assertions when he spoke on Rainbow radio an Accra based radio station with studios in London in the United Kingdom. The 90 years old man claimed to have led the first anti-government demonstrations against the Convention Peoples Party led by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, analysed that just like winning the Flag bearer slot twice in the New Patriotic Party but failed to secure the slot of Ghanaians, Nana won as the president of the Greater Accra Bar Association but could not make it to the ultimate office of the Lawyers' group.

Mr Attoh Quarshie disclosed that he was a close friend to Nana Akuffo Addo's father but strongly believes that no matter the case Nana Addo can not win the general elections of Ghana. He has therefore predicted doom for the the NPP if delegates of the party fail to give Mr Alan Kyeremanteng the nod. The octogenarian unequivocally said he is not doing the bidding of anyone but only speaking the practical truth.

He therefore charged elders of the party to be bold and courageous to tell young ones the truth to save the country and the party. The old man wondered why supporters of Nana Akuffo Addo have become intolerant in the New Patriotic Party and jump to insult and attack anyone who throws his or her weight behind anyone who seeks to challenge Nana Akuffo Addo for the flagbearer slot. He called on the National executives of the party to dismiss or suspend the members of parliament who openly threw their support for Nana Addo at his campaign launch.

Mr Joshua Attoh Quarshie urged delegates of the party to ensure the changes that occurred in the regional and National elections reflect in the flagbearer race.
