  What is the purpose of this write-up.What is the writer seeking to demonstrate with ones father being once a president of a State. Wether cerimonial or whatever.There is onething which I want good people of Ghana to know is that Nana Akufo-Ado has made his own mark and indeed an excellent one too, period!!. If your adored President is not able to come out of his inferiority complex,there is no amount of such forced baseless write-ups which can change the status quo.

  Let me tell you this president Mahama has no single Right to wpie out the Military. The army was there even B4 the birth of his great great great gound father. If he has a problem, than he has to wake up and do the right thing. He stle himself to power and his intension is underminig him now, so let him dance to the rythem now. A child that dose not allow his parent (mother) to sleep shall also not sleep.
  How can this Guy, been the cief executive of the higher office in Ghana accord himself with prestige? who thought him how to file Taxes? If this is some thing he wants to be oprestinal in Ghana, why dont he involve every body, or all the civil servants.
  There is a reggie music whic goes like this " He the voice of the Rasterman chanting..., Babylone rise and fall"
  Ghana is aiming towards it down fall once again. No matter what you say, its in the open air. Untill the truth is discovered by all, there is a great opprtunity opened for the resuffle of the entire system controlling our beloved nation.
  Flt. Lt. JJ Rawlings has come to do his, now its the turn for some one to also lift up the bunner of Justice and freedom for all.
  how can a nation, almost a hundread years independence, still found itself in bondage? sill in the bottomless pit?
  Allow people to speak their mind for the truth shall always make us free.
  How dose this nation share its economic wealth? How can coruption be on the table of this fake politicans every morning as Tea and batter?
  Some thing really ought to be done!
  Let those who have ears hear, and those who are deaf dance and walk arround like fools for one day for the thief, and the other day for the court.

  Being the son of ex-president of Ghana (titula or otherwise) has made no difference for Akufo Addo to Ghanains.

  This article is misplaced and does not "put food on the table". It doesnt address the core issues of current political cachexia in Ghana. It is a rather hanky-panky write up meant to denigrate somone as is characteristic of Ghanaians. How can you claim that becos someone is handpicked for a position (which is not even right in Edward Akuffo-Addo case) that his children must use his appendage with circumspection. This is mischievious and a total waste of our airspace and time. Grow up please Cletus!!!

  I simply cannot understand the point of your article nor your drift in terms of its relevance to the status quo. Should it really matter whether Akufo Addo's father was ceremonial or executive president? He was president of the Republic of Ghana, period!. Similarly, I personally am at a loss as to why others have taken the trouble to question his academic and professional credentials in the manner in which it has been done. Some may argue (or hide behind) ethics, accountability, honesty etc. But should it matter what qualifications a person has to stand and be elected to the highest office of state? I simply don't get it.
  
  As along as a person is legitimate and has the necessary qualifications as a Ghanaian, they are absolutely entitled to stand for any position as was demonstrated by one of the presidential candidates in the just ended December presidential elections. We have not bothered to question the authenticity (and qualifications) of all the candidates in that election except that of Nana Akufo Addo.
  
  I find it rather curious and politically motivated to discredit him and (I believe in some people's agenda, seek to disqualify him). I personally do not share those views, nor am I interested in seeing him being bashed by others, including this rather pointless article!
