Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo would be unable to attend an ECOWAS mini-summit at The Gambia today.
For this reason, he has designated his immediate predecessor, President Mahama to represent him at the summit. Before retiring from office, President Mahama had been instrumental in mediating the current political situation in The Gambia.
In a statement signed and copied to Peacefmonline.com by the Acting Director of Communications of the Golden Jubilee House, Mr. Eugene Arhin, it noted that President Akufo- Addo “is of the view that the continuing involvement of former President Mahama in the mediation process in the Gambia would assist the process.”

How noble! How audacious a show of noble statesmanship, Mr. President! Keep the nation united at all cost even as we settle scores to rejuvenate and fix the economy. We owe Ghana a noble responsibility to grow the economy for all within the shortest possible time. Do right by all manner of men!
There is an adage in fante that we "sent the wise and not the ***barred word***". Clear indication that there are no wise people in government. They are all ......
NPP GOVERNMENT HAS ALWAYS SHOWN MATURITY AND DECENCY IN GOVERNMENT IN DEALING WITH OPPONENTS. NDC HOWEVER, HAS BEEN ROUGH AND IMMMTURE, MAY BE BECAUSE OF THE COUP BACKGROUND AND THE VIOLENT TAKE OVERS.
Nana Akufo-Addo is hiding from aljazeera from his plagiarism row dis--garce is waiting for him so he is now send the incompetence mahama to cover his shaaam.
Akuffo Addo is now running from his own shadow,who say man no dey.
Prez Nana Addo, just be careful with this John. There could be daggers behind his smiles. Remember JJ Rawlings and Limamn. Ratings drilled him because he was ***barred word*** with his good heart. Consult Papa Kufour and your elders if you are in doubt. Never trust your opponent with power and responsibility. This is the guy who sees you as Opanah. To quote William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers, " there is no art to find the minds construction on the face." 'A word to the wise is enough.'
MUTURITY PAA
Prez Akufo-Addo has brought maturity and international fame to Ghana's Presidency by Assigning Mahama To Represent Him In The Gambia. We a re seeing Governance of a Class. Prez Akufo-Addo is doing it like the the British and Americans do it. God Bless Prez Akufo-Addo abd Grant him more wisdom and good Health.
I never thought I will witness this kind of political maturity from our politicians- Kudos to these noble men of our time. Great thinking from the President and great Patriot from the former president. Ghana is indeed a beacon of Africa Politics.
