He has also admitted to deliberately causing the publication of the <strong>President Mills\u2019 Vindicated<\/strong> story carried out by two state-owned newspapers (<strong>Daily Graphic<\/strong> and <strong>Ghanaian Times<\/strong>) and some other pro-government tabloids.<br \/>\nThe  NPP Flagbearer, at a press conference he addressed on Thursday, January  20, called on President Mills to be bold and support ECOWAS\u2019 decision  of a legitimate military action in Cote D\u2019ivoire, pointing out that his  inconsistency pertaining to his stance on the Ivorian crisis, has the  potential of denting Ghana\u2019s image in the eyes of the international  community.<br \/>\nTo him, the conflicting signals being sent out by the  president portrays Ghana as inconsistent, unreliable and a dodgy partner  in the ECOWAS sub-region.<br \/>\nBut in a sharp rebuttal on <strong>Asempa FM\u2019s Ekosii Sen<\/strong> programme, an emotionally charged Koku Anyidoho was emphatic that there  was no sense in what Nana Addo said at the Press conference. He felt  the NPP flagbearer was not on top of issues and failed to answer the  questions thrown at him cogently.<br \/>\n\u201cTheir Press Conference is much  ado about nothing; there was no sense in what he said. The question was  simple but he failed to answer it, he was rather circumlocuting. You  just cannot see the head and tail of everything he said\u2026What is Nana  Addo saying; did President Mills say his stance will be the that of  Akumfi? His stance has always been that of support for ECOWAS unless  Nana Addo says he has not been in this country or he doesn\u2019t read the  newspapers,\u201d he posited.<br \/>\nHe charged Nana Addo to be man enough and answer whether he would take Ghanaian soldiers to war in Cote D\u2019Ivoire and stop beating about the bush.<br \/>\n\u201c&#8230;this is a class one question\u2026he&#8217;s been dancing adowa, kpanlogo, kete, agbadza all day over that question&#8230;I just smile when i listen to him, he can&#8217;t answer the infantile question and i&#8217;ll continue to ask him&#8230;Nana should tell us what he would have done if he was president and whether he would have taken the soldiers of Ghana to war&#8230;Mr. \u2018Matured Man\u2019 just answer the infantile question\u2026and in the process kill them (Ghanaian soldiers). Nana Addo should be a man and let us know what he will do and stop dancing around the issue. Stand out of your conviction and let us know your position. If he wants to be taken serious, he should stand as a man and give a yes or no answer to the question,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nHe contends that the NPP\u2019s position on Ivorian political impasse clearly shows that they are not ready to handle the country\u2019s state of affairs.<br \/>\nSource: Beatrice Adepa Frempong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head of Communications at the Presidency, Koku Anyidoho has rubbished the Press conference held by flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo Addo where he stated his position on the political standoff in Cote D\u2019Ivoire, describing it as \u201cmuch ado about nothing\u201d.
