President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has recalled moments he shared with New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s Volta Regional First Vice Chairperson, Dr Archibald Letsa.
Announcing his Regional Ministers-designate on Tuesday at the Flagstaff House, the President said former President Jerry John Rawlings used to refer to the two of them as though they were twins.
“Former President Rawlings used to call us Aki and Pawpaw,” he told the media amidst laughter.
‘Aki and Pawpaw’ are names that became popular following the release of the film ‘Aki na Ukwa’ which featured Nollywood actor’s Osita Iheme known as Pawpaw and Chinedu Ikedieze as Aki.
The names are given to people who are vertically challenged, a euphemism for people who are short.
Poking fun at the media briefing, President Akufo-Addo said Mr Rawlings used to tease them for being vertically challenged.
He later introduced the NPP official as the Volta Regional Minister-designate.
The other nominees include Sulemana Alhassan for Upper West; Kwaku Asoma-Cheremeh for Brong Ahafo, and Rockson Bukari for Upper East.
Dr. Kwaku Afriyie was nominated for Western Region, Eric Kwakye Darfour for Eastern Region and Salifu Sawed for the Northern Region.

Oh Nana i love your sense of humour. You are down to earth.
@boat, are u afraid that john,ibrahim and lordina mahama will soon be prosecute and jail
At boat so what do you want the founder to do.Noncccss
This revelation says a lot about how "the man" undermined the party he claimed he founded. Sure, he did such things in order that his corrupt wife is not prosecuted. As it is said, time will tell and history will be the best judge. While others are working hard for the party others had created 'manholes' under the tank for water to sip away.
hahahahhhahahahaa i love Nana.. now whatever the opposition use to mock him he turns it into a joke.!
