  How many times must Nana Addo rush abroad for treatment in a year. The man is sick and dying but still trying hard to be president. I do not think he can even be around for the November poll. So, let the Party waste their time. It happened to NDC.

  Old age is a beautiful thing but not when it comes to leadership like that of a president. I like this man's (Nana Addo) charisma and humour but I think he is too old to be elected as a president. At the age of 70 years your thinking capacity and ways of analysing and executing issues is depreciated even if you are on medication. One must have seen too much in life at the age of 70yrs especially in the past and this alone justifies ones judgement about the present and the future.
  
  I mean with all due respect, how is a president going to make decisions for the future of a country when he’s not going to be around? Being a president is like being a ‘verb’ which literally means action. A president must be active in the day to day activities of a country no matter how many people are surrounded by him/her. A president must be seen doing stuff like cheering the people on, inspiring the people, uniting the people, running with the people, visiting communities, helping the people, doing hard work with the people in other to motivate them since action speaks lauder than words! Please tell me how a president at the age of 70yrs would do all these and still have enough strength left to continue running a country.
  
  This is the 21st Century, Ghana and for that matter Africa needs young and matured brilliant leaders with fresh mentality to transform the life of the people and not leaders with 1st and 2nd world war mentality. The world has moved on long time ago and it is still advancing and Africa must catch up and not left behind. The masses are rising and discerning and the old ways of doing things are no more. A modern nation needs a modern technology and not archaic philosophies.
  
  Ghanaians must do the mathematics and know that this presidential candidate is too old. He is a grandpa and we all know what grandfathers do or perhaps, can do. Health and Security are the two main issues facing the whole world right now and considering his age, I have even not heard him say nor give ideas about how his administration would tackle this two sectors. Ghana, be wise and vote for a young and a vibrant selfless leader to help transform the life of the people with a strong liberation of the whole African continent.
  
  I pray for good health, mentality change and long live for Ghana and the whole African community in Jesus name. May GOD help us all!!!

  Nana Addo is as fit as a fiddle, the NDC is sick in the mind. Always peddling falsehood about the man's health. Ghanaians who saw Nana Addo in New York, Hartford and Worcester are amazed at how fit the man is at his age.

  We certainly need a CHANGE in Ghana. We ALL know what NDC continues to COOK in the kitchen (GHANA) and how bad it SMELLS. Nana ADDO is very healthy to salvage our Motherland from the CHARTLATANS (NDC). We cannot wait for Dec. 7th to show the nation-wreckers the door. Ghanaians have suffered enough under the watch of these incompetent guys. GHANA will be made GREAT AGAIN !! under the able and vibrant LEADERSHIP of Nana. LIFE is too SHORT for Ghanaians to continue to suffocate under NDC.

  Here are eight of such scandals:
  
  1. Bus branding scandal:
  
  Last year, investigations into the branding of 116 Metro Mass Transit Buses involving GH¢3.6million revealed that the company contracted, Smarttys, over-billed the government to the tune of about GH¢1.9million.
  
  The development provoked public outcry, which compelled the Minister of Transport, Dzifa Attivor, to resign in December.
  
  The government subsequently reached an agreement with Smarttys for the company to return GH¢1,548,608.04 to government chest.
  
  2. Mahama ‘Ford Expedition’ gift scandal
  
  A revelation in June 2016 that President John Mahama received a Ford Expedition vehicle estimated to cost $60,000 from a Burkinabe contractor, Djibril Kanazoe, provoked widespread public outrage.
  
  The businessman was said to have won two contracts worth over GH¢100 million after the president took possession of the vehicle.
  
  The development prompted several opposition political parties and civil society organisations to accuse President Mahama of receiving a bribe. He, however, denied any wrongdoing.
  
  3. GYEEDA Scandal
  
  In 2013, Manasseh Azure Awuni, a reporter for Joy FM, conducted an investigation in the operations of GYEEDA and uncovered massive corruption, which led to policy change in the running of the agency.
  
  The government set up a five-member committee to probe the allegations further. The committee’s report largely corroborated Manasseh’s findings and made various recommendations to government. As part of the reforms, parliament passed a law to regulate the operations of GYEEDA, which was later renamed Youth Employment Agency (YEA).
  
  His investigation also led to the cancellation of all GYEEDA contracts with service providers, except the contract with Zoomlion Limited. This saved the nation millions of cedis.
  
  4. SADA Scandal
  
  In 2014, Manasseh Azure Awuni‘s investigation revealed that the Ghana’s Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) had misappropriated millions of dollars allocated to it.
  
  The investigations showed that SADA paid GH?32,498,000 to ACICL to plant five million trees in the savannah zone, but could only account for about 700,000 trees.
  
  It also found that SADA spent GH¢15 million on guinea fowls, but could only account for a few of the birds.
  
  The revelation prompted President John Mahama to abrogate SADA’s contracts with Asongtaba Cottage Limited, mangers of the multi-million-cedi guinea fowl project.
  
  
  5. NSS Scandal
  
  In 2014, officials of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) uncovered a GH¢7.9 million deep-rooted rot at the National Service Secretariat (NSS).
  
  Investigations showed that the amount represented the allowance paid to 22,612 non-existent service people in more than 100 districts across the country.
  
  Twenty district directors of the NSS were picked up for their alleged roles in the malfeasance.
  
  6. Judicial corruption scandal
  
  An investigation by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in 2015 revealed that about 180 workers in Ghana’s judiciary had been involved in several bribery deals.
  
  Thirty-four judges, comprising 22 lower court judges and 12 High Court judges, along with some court staff, were captured in a video footage extorting bribes from litigants to warp the justice system.
  
  At least 21 circuit court judges and four high court judges were dismissed following the revelations.
  
  7. Brazil 2014 fiasco
  
  Following the failure of the government to pay their $100,000 dollars Brazil 2014 appearance fee on time, players of the Black Stars threatened to boycott Ghana’s last World Cup group game against Portugal.
  
  This compelled the government to send a reported four million dollars in cash on a chartered flight to Brasilia to be disbursed to the team.The development was the subject of international media coverage, creating huge embarrassment for country.
  
  To add salt to injury, the Black Stars were eliminated for the first time in the group stage at the World Cup.
  
  The government subsequently set up a presidential commission of inquiry to investigate the embarrassing episode.
  
  8. #BrochureGate
  
  A brochure which was distributed during Ghana’s 59th Independence Day celebration at the Black Star Square in March was found to contain several errors.
  
  The brochure, which was characterised by incomprehensible grammatical expressions, poor spellings and a host of other inaccuracies, provoked public outrage.
  
  Among the many mistakes in the brochure was the representation of Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta, as the President of Ghana.
  
  Some of the scandals have implications for the November elections, but President Mahama has attempted to portray them as evidence that his fight against corruption is bearing fruit
