Nana Addo Has Never Been A Cadet Corps, Yet People Compare Him To Buhari An attempt by some observers to liken the destiny of Nana Akufo Addo to that of Nigeria’s president elect, Gen. Mahammadu Buhari, has been shot down by a deputy Communications Director for the ruling National Democratic Congress.

From his view if the NPP had been diligent enough and conducted their research, they would have realized that the current Nigerian president had successfully organized a military coup d’état a couple of years ago before legitimately returning to power. The story is not the same with Nana Akufo Addo who he claims has never been a cadet corps since his days in
