Kweku Baako Jnr has taken a swipe at the Flagbearer of the All People's Congress (APC) Hassan Ayariga for venting his spleen on Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.
Hassan Ayariga lambasted Nana Addo, flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) claiming he is not fit to be President of the Republic because he still lives in his father's house even at age 72.
“At age 72, my senior and my father, Nana Akufo-Addo, is still living in his father’s house. At this age 72, I would have retired from politics and been advising young men of this country to move this country forward and not contest with them anymore,” he reportedly said.
He is also reported to have said in an interview with Class FM on Wednesday, September 28 that Nana Addo is nobody but just an ordinary human being and must pave way for the youth to take over the leadership of the country.
"The NPP thinks Nana Addo is a god. Nana Addo is nobody, he is no god. I want the NPP to know in this world that if Nana Addo is what they think he is, he will have won elections for them. He is nobody; he is just an ordinary human being. Where I come from, [the eldest] son [doesn’t] live in his father’s house after a certain age; that’s leadership. You must move out and let the youth take over and show leadership.”
Speaking to these comments, Kweku Baako, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper expressed bitter feelings over the behaviour of the APC flagbearer, saying the method he's adopted is very “crude".
"I have seen some of them attacking other presidential candidates especially Nana Addo and they are going about it in a very crude way," he said, adding that Ayariga's attacks on the personality of Nana Addo proves how unprepared and unready he is for the Presidential seat.
“It creates the impression that they are not seeking the ultimate, which is the presidency; they are just exposing themselves that they are not in the competition."

I agree with you. But what I really wanted to say was a question: What if Nana's culture allows it? But my real problem is Ayariga's emotive posture. Wisdom should advise him that he is a competitor among many others so that his target should be all his competitors. However, he has exposed himself as doing the bidding of some people and not really interested in the competition.
JUST IGNORE THAT AYARIGA MAN LET'S FOCUS AND PLAN HOW WE VOTE OUT NDC FROM THIS COUNTRY COS MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS ARE SUFFERING FROM MAHAMA/NDC HARSHIP.GHANAIANS NEED CHANGE PERIOD!!!!!!
Ayariga doesn't understands what he stands for as Candidate, i see him as someone who has taken something to attach, but one thing for sure when u throw a ball to wall, it comes but to u not today but tomorrow,
Am not suprise at all about what Ayariga is saying because he doesnt know his culture as an African hence this behaviour,Jusus christ is more than 2000 years but still lives in his fathers mansion,nana all the way.
Only God knows how many millions of taxpayers money this ayarga guy collected from jdm do to his bidding... why are you interested in lunching a personal attack on Nana.. for what reason?? jdm is the one who mess up the all country, you don't even metion his name, its obvious to every Ghanaian what your plans are against Nana,.. Insha Allah your evil plans against Nana will not work...
wosene woyomko a ctan wo.Nana stay focused and leave this ***barred word***.He has been paid by mahama to cause distractions. Do these ***barred word*** comments put food on our table? ***barred word***......
have u forgotton about ayari koff so soon??? dont mind him he just be ***barred word***...being used by the ndc..
Anyone who has had tertiary education in Amerika or Kanada will bear with me that their corporate institutions have their own work culture different from ours. If EC boss had worked in her qualification in Kanada after graduating she would have learned how to frown on corruption is her career, because the system does not allow that. My philosophy is that HAVING FOREIGN EDUCATION IN A DEVELOPED COUNTRY IS MEANINGLESS UNLESS IT IS FOLLOWED BY RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE IN THAT COUNTRY. The reason is because you will no longer write any exam at your work place. It is your work output that matters. Learning in a developed country and returning to Ghana to work does not make you significantly different from your Ghanaian counterparts.
Are you sure the Akan/Akyem culture allows the eldest son to inherit or stay in his father's house? I know for a certainty that Akans/Akyem are matrilineal when it comes to inheritance that means Nana Akufo-Addo's cousins (Paternal Aunt's children) should be laying claim to that property as per tradition. I stand to be corrected though. I honestly don't agree with Hassan Ayariga but his statement does stimulate some critical thinking, to the extent he dared Ghanaians to compare them both. interesting.
Yes this man and the likes are NOT IN FOR THE PRESIDENCY but have been hired to JUST attack Nana Addo as both DO NOT have any meaningful message for the SUFFERING Ghanaians. Still Change is Coming.
