\"NPPChief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Board (GFZB), Mr. Kwadwo Twum Boafo, strongly believes, the presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo is indeed a \u2018confused\u2019 individual who wants to be president just for the sake of being called \u2018Mr. President\u2019.<\/p>\n

His diagnosis of Nana Addo being in a confused state is premised on the NPP flagbearer\u2019s recent talk of a 10-year development plan which can turn around the fortunes of the country economically.<\/p>\n

To him, Nana Addo is derailing his presidential campaign per his comments.<\/p>\n

The NPP Flagbearer, after a workshop with party researchers, told the media it was possible to transform Ghana in 10 years, but the country must first wipe out the colonial \u2018Guggisberg economy\u2019 in which raw materials are gleefully exported out of the country for peanuts and adopt a more refined and perhaps a “Nana-Addo economy” of adding value to our products.<\/p>\n

He posited that Ghana can be the pride of Africa within 10 years with \u201cDedication, Discipline and Determination\u201d citing the experience and successes of the BRIC nations- Brazil, Russia, India and China as examples.<\/p>\n

But contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold\u2019s political analysis programme, \u2018Alhaji and Alhaji\u2019, Mr. Twum Boafo said: \u201cI sincerely believe that the flagbearer of the NPP is a little confused because I don\u2019t know where he gets his information from\u2026Since Nana Addo became the flagbearer of the NPP, he has put up various statements that are threatening his campaign. If it is not \u2018all-die-be-die\u2019, \u2018it is y3n Akanfuor\u2019, or \u2018(late) Theresa Tagoe\u2019s buttocks and now his ten year plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Twum Boafo, who is also a member of the NDC\u2019s Communication Team, lamented that for one aspiring to the highest office of the land, Nana Addo should have surrounded himself with competent and sagacious people who will offer him good counsel in speech and in his write-ups, but unfortunately, that seems not to be the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did Nana not know that the concept of valued addition started long time ago? Nana Addo, the concept of valued addition did not start when you made this statement or when you become president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He called on the NPP Flagbearer to cease bothering President Mills so that he can have his peace of mind to better the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy the hell are you on Professor Mills\u2019 case every single day? Is Professor Mills God? As the Bible said \u2018by their deeds you shall know them\u2019, I say \u2018by their words you shall know them\u2019. Nana wants to be president for the sake of being president. I am convinced that the NPP and their flagbearer want power for the sake of power,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
