The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo has dismissed claims by Ghana’s Ambassador to Namibia that he (Akufo Addo) in a private conversation said a non-Akan cannot lead the party.
Haruna Attah who was a staunch member of the NPP in a statement said "I do recollect very clearly, as if it happened only yesterday, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo invited me to his office at Ridge near the offices of the Electoral Commission. I honoured the invitation, not knowing what to expect. The outcome was one of the most revealing encounters I have ever had with a Ghanaian politician. He raised a number of issues and concluded on my 'support' for the late Vice President. On that, this is what he told me.
The words have been indelibly etched on my conscience: 'Haruna, your support for Aliu was flawed. If you think our party will cede its Akan leadership, you are wrong.' He went on to expatiate on the theme, but with my mind reeling at this blatant and brazen ethnocentricity, nothing else really mattered to me again. When I left, I confided in a few people, mainly family and friends, as witnesses." (click to read more)
But in a quick response, Mustapha Hamid, Nana Addo's spokesperson told Joy FM Thursday that: "It’s a total fabrication, it’s a falsehood; no such conversation has ever taken place between him and Haruna Atta. That is a simple fact…why would a diplomat like Akufo Addo be telling a Northerner in his face that no northerner will ever rule our party when he has ambitions to be president? I think that we should credit Akufo Addo with some level of intelligence. So this is a total fabrication. It is a panic reaction to the kind of support we are garnering in the north…"

HARUNA ATTA, SO AS A MUSLIM YOU CAN EAT THE FLESH OF A FELLOW HUMAN BEING? I REST MY CASE.
you mustapha hamid introduced akufu addo to mallams and fake juju men in the past. you are the reason why he has soiled his hands in occultism. why were you previously sacked and only retaken after, gabby was strategically, pulled-back?you were allegedly stealing monies. you know deep down you that what haruna atta is saying is the truth. are you treated fairly in the party?? you and the nasara coordinator and the bawumia and others all know you ar mear tools to be used. you are free to continue bootlicking but you cant never be accepted as one of them. do not pretend
Hamidu is a house negro and Haruna is farm negro? Hamidu how could be so sure Nana Addo didnt say those words to Haruna. U and I were not there ooo. Remember there arent many people that know Nana better than Haruna Atttah
I understand there are some F00OLS out there who are trying to run a website and in their bid to get website traffic they always published lies. They started by saying Kyeiwaa is dead, then Abedi Pele, then Ex-President Kufuor, then Amakye Dede and now Alhaji Gurusah. This must be investigated by the police and the Ghana Media Board or whatever to bring closure. These F000OLS must be arrested. Ghana Police please act.
Let be honest to ourselves if NPP is Akan party Do u think Akufo Addo will be telling a Northerner in his face that no northerner will ever rule our party when he has ambitions to be president? Pls think about what u say and do for the sack of peace in the country (MOTHER GHANA)
Haruna was reacting to you deliberate hyping of what the president said and we all know about. If you are a non Akan in NPP you are simply not going anywhere in that party . You will remain at the fringes . We all know that
Eiiiii my bro Jonathan have you finished taking your medication? The one given you to stabalise your mental issues? Or is finished. Maybe it has finished. Folks please always ignore the Jonathan Lagos guy cus he is ABODAAAAM!
What at all do u; Haruna Atta intent to achieve? With all you experience in your field of endeavor, assuming without admitting that Nana made that statement, does it worth saying it especially with few weeks into a General Election? Again if Nana said that and in your opinion its was wrong, does that justified what Prez Mahama recently said? Do you remember this by the Former Prez Mill; A BETTER GHANA? What prevented you from exposing Nana for all this years until u've been made an ambassador? Could it be that your with this statement? Were u not the same person who once said you can't gaurantee Nana's Presidency? So do you think Ghanaians still believe in your comments? Is Nana Addo the soul determinant of who become a flag bearer of the NPP? WHO IS DISTURBING THE NATION? Let me humbly put this as a message of caution to ALL Ghanaian journalists; Please do NOT accept money from any politician with the intent or agreement that you will destroy his/her opponent(s)/others. Some few politicians/people are faithful God servants. Any such false statements against these persons have great n unbearable repercussions/consequences. What shall it profits a man if he gains the whole world and loses his life.
WHEN IT FAVOURS NPP THEN IT IS THE TRUTH. WHEN IT IS AGAINST THEM THEN IT IS FALSE. Eiiiiii NPP. WHEN AFOKO GRANTED INTERVIEW TO AFRICAN WATCH MAGAZINE ABOUT HAPPENINGS IN NPP, THEY (NPP) SAID EVERYTHING HE SAID WERE LIES. HOW CAN A GROWN UP AND MATURE PERSON LIKE AFOKO COOK UP STORIES? AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME HARUNA ATTA HAS ACCUSED NPP OF TRIBALISM AND DISCRIMINATION. IS IT NOT TRUE THAT THE NPP CONSTITUITION SAYS A FLAGBEARER SHOULD CHOOSE A MOSLEM AS A RUNNING MATE? IS IT NOT TRUE THAT KUFFUOR THREW HIS WEIGHT BEHIND ALLAN KYEREMANTENG INSTEAD OF ALIU MAHAMA? IS IT NOT TRUE THAT THE POWERS THAT BE SCHEMED TO REMOVE AFOKO FROM THE PARTY LEADERSHIP? DONT TALK ABOUT THE CHAIRMAN OF COUNCIL OF ELDERS, MR KEDEM. HE IS NOT THE ONE RUNNING THE SHOW AT NPP. HARUNA ATTA HAS MENTIONED THE SPECIFIC PLACE THAT AKUFO-ADDO MADE THOSE REMARKS. IS THAT ALSO A LIE? HE ALSO MENTIONED CERTAIN SPECIFIC PLACES THAT HACKMAN OWUSU-AGYEMAN AND DR ADDO KUFFUOR MADE SIMILAR STATEMENTS. HOW CAN EVERYTHING HE SAYS BE LIES? IT IS A FACT THAT DR BAWUMIA WILL NEVER, EVER BE CONSIDERED TO BE THE FLAGBEARER OF THE NPP IN THE EVENT NANA AKUFO-ADDO SERVES TWO TERMS AND EXITS OFFICE. IT IS AS CLEAR AS DAY LIGHT.
