Agbesi Kwesi, you are such an amazing lunatic...!!! Why are you stoking the fire for your cohorts who run the COCAINE EMPIRE in Ghana??? Don't you know we have a notorious political party here in Ghana called "The Elephants?" They have so much skills and talent that they had one of their sitting MPs playing their game in a far away American prison. Look, the academic skills of your people is legendary. It was those skills that was applied by Kuffuor and his Ataa Ayi team members to cleverly stash huge loads of dollars amounts as was reported in the Panama Files. They even used those same skills in swindling your poor country out of the percentage shares it should have got for its oil discovery. In the end, five (5) people got more percentage than the entire 25 million Ghanaians including your stupid self. They fear no shit...!!! They even have the "great nerves" to sell gigantic oil drill ships and pocket the monies as if they were selling "twaapia" at Kejetia market. As for their speciality -- the almighty cocaine -- don't go there!!! They have the Titans who can manipulate 77, (yes, 77) huge bales of the stuff to vanish into thin air. Skills ankasa...!!! And if you dare them, they can easily turn any quantity of cocaine you could secure at this nation's Police Headquarters into kokonte (i mean, your favorite lapiiwa). I think you know all these already, so I don't have to waste time. Just go and get your next spliff and start smoking; I'm told you're now challenging the "Supremo", the highly accomplished Dwarf himself. So, more grease to your stupid heads!!!

I guess it was the ndc guy from Graphic who accompanied you brought that news,when you walk with people who think their daily and bread and life by corruption legalized by the ndc is being affected by the change what do you expect? They will always twist and turn things to favour their disgraceful ndc party. When I found the name of the reporter and source of reporting from Monrovia , i said my gosh something mischievous will happen because that guy can sell mischievous news to those criminally rented ndc trash papers. One thing ndc should know is their own founder, the creator and maker the owner of the ndc has expressed his confidence in the man Akufo Addo because of nothing but his principles,he knows the man hate corruption and he knows and believe the man can do the work and that Ghana is in safe hands. He advised ndc to sack all their leaders and bring in people who have much more credibility to lead them else they should forget about ever coming back to power and my question is does ndc has one? The people in that party are crooks from head to toe and have no credibility in this country so that's their end. If ndc will tickle themselves with Akufo Addo getting 2 votes to counter their disgraceful and humiliated defeat in just less than 6 months in power when others have been there already then it's their own problem and I can't understand how somebody will propose somebody for that position and he being a candidate himself only ndc logic,which makes their party attractive only to fools. I can see from the anger of President Rawlings he has regretted highly for forming that party of crooks.

Nana Addo Actually Contested the Chairmanship of Ecowas

Article 8 (2) of the ECOWAS treaty states that the chairman shall be elected. What happens is that a candidate/candidates are nominated by member states. Where only one candidate is nominated, he is then approved by the member States. But where more than one candidate is nominated, member States are asked to cast their votes for them
.
2. It is not true that Akuffo Addo nominated the Togolese President. The Togolese President was nominated by the Beninoire President whiles the Ghanaian president (Akuffo Addo) was nominated by the President of Cote D'voire. Election was held between them and Akuffo Addo had two votes.
3. The argument that the chair is rotational. There is nowhere in the treaty that says so. If we follow this argument, it means that a member state can only head the organization in Sixten or more years time depending on the number of the member States.

We should not forget that the organization has been headed by Chairman Rawlings, Prez Kuffour, Prez Mahama whiles other states have not headed the organization before.
