Nana, since 2007, you’ve been making several political tours Ghana as the NPP’s leader. These tours included ‘Listening’, ‘Restoring Hope’, and ‘Thank You’ tours, thus strengthening your marketability in the country. You’ve presented one of the best, if not the best Campaign Message – free SHS to the Ghanaian electorate on two electoral occasions. Again, apart from selecting one of the finest economists in Africa as your running-mate, you also energized all party members to protect the ballot boxes with your famous; “All die be die” statement. The NPP provided its Polling Agents with mobile phones to text the electoral results to the party headquarters soon after the declaration at the Polling Station by Presiding Officers. Besides, unlike Election 2000, where the NPP had no economic record to campaign on, the Kufuor’s legacy of achievement – NHIS, free maternal care etc was a major political tool for you to win power in 2008. You changed your campaign managers twice, and made sure the NPP National Executives reflected on regional and gender balance to diffuse the ‘Akan tag’. There was unity of purpose within the NPP as no new political party emerged from the party. The poor performance of Mills/Mahama NDC administration, the issue of ‘Woyomism’, and the untimely death of a sitting president six (6) months into Election 2012 were all in your favour. His Excellency, J.A. Kufuor and other NPP stalwarts campaigned for you throughout Election 2012. Finally, you gave the battle to The Lord Almighty. In spite of the above opportunities at your disposal, you still could not secure the needed victories on two occasions for the NPP and Ghanaians who need our party in power. In other words, the Ghanaian electorates have sent a clear message that Nana Akufo-Addo is not their preferred president.
Nana, you have attained 70 years this year and by 2016, you’ll be 72 years. You cannot therefore tell me that age does not matter in politics, because you’ll be campaigning across the length and breadth of this country. May be you might not be aware, but social scientists and behaviourists have proven beyond doubt that at age 72, the resilience of cell formation and replacement, and the energetic approach to all competitive things have already started to recede. There is also no guarantee that Election 2016 will be a done deal for you. Prez Mahama, who used barely three months to campaign in the last elections managed to beat you by not less than 300,000 votes. This same Mahama, who initially opposed your free SHS policy has indicated his willingness to give the Ghanaian child progressive free SHS. If he succeeds in doing that before Election 2016, what message would you sell again?
Strangely and regrettably, your votes keep dwindling as the gap between you and your opponent has widened from 40,000 votes to over 300,000 votes. The four (4) Akan Regions that previously voted for the NPP have reduced to only two (2) – Ashanti and Eastern. Of late, the NDC has gradually been making inroads in these two regions, which happen to be NPP strongholds. As a potential president, you have not been able to win your home region convincingly, something unusual to your predecessors.
ana Addo is corrupt and incompetent to lead Ghana. Nana Addo is a monumental failure who at 72 years is still living in his father's house. Nana for 12 good years as Abuakwa brought nothing to the constituency and only showed up at Abuakwa during elections.
Below is what Okatakyei said about Nana Addo:
