In an interview with news men just after the party, Hon. Francis Addae-Nimo indicated that his inspiration to celebrate his birthday party with the kids is borne out of love and concern for the underprivileged in the society.
“I draw the inspiration from the fact that we need to show love and concern for this intellectually challenged young ones who are also our integral part of Ghanaian system and so upon consultation and discussion with my wife and other good friends of mine we chose to come to the Dzorwulu special school to share the joy of being a fifty year old man, a golden jubilee celebration of my good self with the kids of this school” he explained.
Hon. Francis Addae-Nimo also expressed his desire to reach out to other Children homes come this Easter Season.

I will also be in my constituency during the Easter Holidays, there’s a children’s home also in my constituency and during the Easter Holidays, I will also be there to share with them and encourage them that we recognize their existence and that they are also part of the Ghanaian Society and whatever we are need to do, being government or non-governmental to help in their development so that they’ll also contribute to the society we will also not hesitate to do” he posited.
Meanwhile, Hon. Francis Addae-Nimo has advised parents not to hide children with disabilities in homes but rather find a way to bring them out to schools so that teachers can help train them to be somebody in the future so that they will not be a burden on society.
