Flag bearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo has said the propaganda being waged against him by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) that he is suffering from cancer will not work.
Speaking to the Bolgatanga Traditional Council in the Upper East Region on Sunday, August 28 during his campaign, Mr Akufo-Addo told the crowd that the NDC and President John Mahama are clutching at straw to win another term in office since they have failed the people of Ghana.
“First they said I was a drug addict, it didn’t work. They said I was sick, it didn’t work. They said I was too old, it didn’t work. They said I was a hunchback, it didn’t work. They said I was a dwarf, it didn’t work. They said I was in a wheelchair, it didn’t work. They said I am a murderer, it didn’t work. They said I will die in June, it didn’t work. They said I was a dictator, it didn’t work. They said I was intolerant, it didn’t work. They said I was violent, it didn’t work. They said I had a secret agenda to destabilise the country, it didn’t work. Now, they say I have cancer, it will not work.”
The NPP flagbearer stressed further that “it appears the only way the President will get a third term is when I am sick or I am dead. That is the only ground on which he will get his third term.”
Nana Akufo-Addo said “issues of life and death and health are in the hands of the Almighty. I will leave matters in the hands of the Almighty, because, I believe and I continue to say the battle is the Lord’s.”
