Meet NPP’s bishop, Bishop Nana Addo

The sights at NPP’s 2018 Annual National Delegates’ Conference continue to overwhelm beholders at the Koforidua Technical University Park.

One man who claims to be the bishop of the party is Bishop Nana Addo.

Boldly engrossed on his mitre, Bishop Nana Addo’s name is obviously coined from the three-time leader of the party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

He holds a trademark crosier as part of his full regalia.
