"When one finger is pointed at somebody, the other four are pointed at you" Kwesi Pratt Jnr, the Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, has told President Akufo Addo.
His remark comes on the back of some comments made by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during a Conference.
Kwesi Pratt who was surprised by the President's remark and choice of words, wondered who wrote the speech for him.
"There is another thing that he said; that President Mahama is a perennial candidate, where from that one too, perennial is a big English. Meanwhile, if you look at the track records of Ghana's elections, Former President John Dramani Mahama has contested the presidential elections three times, and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has contested four times. If we add this 2024, John Mahama will contest four times, and Nana Akufo-Addo will contest four times" he said during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo'.
"The only difference is that with Nana Akufo-Addo, the constitution doesn't allow him to contest again, and Nana Addo has contested more than him (Mahama) because Nana Addo four times, and for him three times. So, the perennial candidates, where from that? This is why they say that when one finger is pointed at somebody, the other four are pointed at you; this is an example" he added.

Uncle Kwesi is now bereft reasonable thoughts. He is archaic.
Mama Affo did not win the 2020 election….. please let’s not forget to prosecute him for coup
Kwesi Pratt the unofficial NDC communicator, Mahama himself understands what Akufo-Addo is saying. This is a sitting President who was defeated at the polls. First in the history of Ghana. Came and was defeated again by the same man and instead of allowing someone else to came, look at what they did to Kwabena Duffour. Nana Addo never contested the same candidate twice so you've got to understand. We all know the history of Ghana and not only you. You know how the first and second round went before the late Mills become President. If it's because of the huge Ex-Gratia you got at Media Commission during Mahama's time that's why you are doing these, then sorry, you better sit-up and help the Ex-President behave as a Statesman because his utterances are unbecoming. Ghana Is Not For Mahama Nkoko Nkitikiti
Why is this an issue. The president did not mean it as an insult, just stating the fact. if someone said the President was the perennial candidate for NPP , that will be fact. dont see why Kwesi Pratt is fretting over this
Hmmmmn, if what Kwesi Pratt is saying is anything to go by, it means the research team at the seat of government especially those writing speeches for the president are not on top of issues, or it is that the man write his own speeches, thus these contradictions. More so there is more for the NPP to say in 2024 to win back the trust of the Ghanaian voter than merely attacking John Mahama . Am for NPP, but John Mahama is not the problem, the main challenge has to with the NPP defending every single policy decision they took and whether the good people of Ghana will listen. As for hearing they will hear, but will they listen?
