The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is set to receive the Mother Teresa Memorial International Award for Social Justice at an event in Mumbai, India, on Sunday, November 20, 2016.
In addition, the NPP flagbearer will deliver the keynote address at the award event on the theme “Combating Terror through Education and Peace”.
Explaining the decision to choose Nana Akufo-Addo to receive the award, Dr. Abraham Mathai, President of the Foundation, “the manner in which you (Akufo-Addo) sacrificed your presidential ambitions by accepting to preserve peace in the West African nation of Ghana, at a time of high tension, thereby preventing civil war is truly remarkable.”
Dr. Abraham Mathai further indicated that Nana Akufo-Addo’s “statesman-like qualities have truly distinguished you as the defender of democracy which should+0 bw1av`c* be emulated far and beyond.”
The conference is aimed at containing violent extremism and radicalization among youths in India and across nations who are vulnerable to radical groups, in the emergence of extremist outfits across the world.
According to the foundation, “the threat from violent extremism is a global and generational struggle and therefore we understand that the menace of terrorism may be best fought by education and peace. Society today needs peace, tolerance and cohesion to peacefully coexist together in harmony contrary to peddling extremism, hate and xenophobia.”
The presence of the NPP flagbearer at the event, according to Dr. Mathai, “the potential candidate for president in the next elections in the nation of Ghana will greatly enhance the stature and profile of the International Conference where you will give the keynote address.”
The event will also posthumously honour Faaraz Ayaaz Hossain, the brave Bangladeshi youth who was killed in the Dhaka terror attack on July 1st 2016 for refusing to leave behind his friends who were from other countries.
In attendance will be human rights activists, prominent members of civil society, diplomats and members of the Indian government.

CONGRATULATIONS DADDY
HE WHO JAH BLESS, NO ONE CURSE. AGAINST GBAAA! GBO. NDC, YOU CAN'T STOP WHOM GOD HAS APPOINTED. NDC IS STRUGLING TO CALL MAHAMA A PEACEFUL MAN BUT IT'S NOT CATCHING THE WORLD. NANA, GO GO GO HIGH
An award to cool down the head. If by accepting defeat makes one a peaceful person the Hilary Clinton deserve it better. Even Tanzania opposition accepted defeat end after clearly winning in Zanzibar. This award is just to tell Nana to yet again accept defeat peacefully and this time not to hold Ghana to hostage
They chose Nana because they know he can cause mayhem in December elections, they are trying to cool him down in case he loses. They know how dangerous Nana can be, this award will calm him down when he loses yet again another election.
this is how far the Lord has brought you, you will even go far at this age! you are fearfully and wonderfully made, look some who call themselves "young" at 59 wont even be able to walk at your age, that is even if they will reach there, considering how they are stealing and hurting a lot of people
Why didn't they choose John mahama odwanfunu?Yaw,your president has been even rejected by satan himself,if somebody is rejected by satan then he is nowhere near the road to GOD. Did you read what they wrote?potential president,president in waiting even the world knows the man will be the next president and are watching closely the events happening in this country. Thank God everyone knows the peace Ghanaians are enjoying today comes from Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo and the people are damn ready for the idi*Cy of the ndc,people have loved him the more from 2012 declaration of not agreeing with the verdict of the Supreme Court but has accepted it. NDC are real evil very satanic and need to get out of our politics. Ndc are bunch of lazy people who don't want to work but prefer to ste*l and have no future in life so resort to violence but this time it will be difficult for them since the people are also determined to face them. MAY GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS NANA ADDO.LONG LIVE NPP,LONG LIVE GHANA WE SHALL OVERCOME.
