"There was a time it seemed Ghana had a shadow President," says Kweku Baako Jnr after studying various addresses given by the current President and a former President.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the country has been updating Ghanaians in a live broadcast; often on weekends.
In all, the President has addressed the nation on eight different occasions, even though some believe he (President) is using the Coronavirus scourge as a ruse to campaign for re-election.
Former President John Mahama, perhaps not wanting to be overshadowed, has also taken advantage of COVID-19, to address Ghanaians on similar issues.
As if that is not enough, Mr Mahama oftentimes uses his address to criticize the President's actions and purport to give government suggestions.
This scenario, the Seasoned Journalist believed, created an 'ugly type' of politicization, which made him "uncomfortable".
He said he had a problem with the NDC when they launched their COVID-19 team.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' he added: "there was a time and I’m choosing my words carefully; it seemed we had a shadow President and a parallel administration. It was looking like that and I didn’t feel comfortable with it . . . those things were all politicization; ugly type".

Mahama should thank God for COVID 19. By now he would have been answering questions about the Airbus. Another one has just also poop up the Karl power bank. That one too Ghana official 1 was mentioned there. Trust me if Mahama is voted into power again, Ghana will loose credibility internationally which will not be good for this nation. Besides all his administration was the poorest in this forth republic with very huge debts. Most of his recorded items in his green book too were not found. So the question is " Na sika no wohen?"
Mr Baako is clearly very bias. He thinks no one see his blind support for the NPP. Just tell us you are not comfortable that John Mahama has been proven right. Your NPP government is in a total mess.
Haha Mr baako is a funny Oldman and I now understand his bias where was dis old journalist when Mr shortingo president AKUFO Addo was consistently disrespecting Mr mahama's presidency and leadership now he is giving alternative and all he can say is that rubbishhh please ghana is not for npp and you Mr baako ghana is for all of us come to think of it some of you don't pay taxes but the state can give you dubious contracts and free cash for defending them instead of the state ghana journalist are becoming robbers and thieefffsssss some lobby for scholarships and some lobby for auction cars and u call dis guys journalist they are thieffsssss who used their profession to amass wealth (so call senior journalist apuuuuuuuuu)
