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.
Kweku Boahen claims the New Patriotic
Party’s attempt to relate the two personalities makes no logical meaning
considering their dissimilar political history.
He advised the
NPP not to use only the age factor to compare Nana Akufo Addo and Gen.
Buhari; but should delve deeper and look at achievements as well.
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 primary school.
After
Gen. Buhari’s win over Goodluck Jonathan in the just ended Nigeria
elections, some conclusions have been drawn by some members of the
opposition NPP.
Some party members have predicted that as the
wind of change for older leaders continues to blow over West Africa with
Cote D'ivoire and Nigeria taking the lead, Ghanaians would follow suit
during the 2016 polls.
If Nana Addo had come from a military
background just like Gen. Buhari, Kweku Boahen asserts, he would at
least believed the message the NPP is desperately selling to electorates
in the aftermath of Nigeria’s elections.
“Nana Akufo Addo
must undergo a military training before we would all say that the two
(Nana Addo and Buhari) are all soldiers and have led opposition parties.
Then it will also make sense if we say that Nigerians have voted Buhari
to power so Ghanaians must also vote for Nana Akufo Addo”, he said on Asempa FM.
