The Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has expressed shock at the level of cronyism that has engulfed the Nana Addo-led administration.
“Even the former concubine and ex-baby mother of the president has been appointed ambassador in his administration,” Koku Anyidoho alleged.
According to him, the president has four children, one with one Virginia Hesse who has been appointed as Ghana’s ambassador to the Czech Republic.
He explained that the president had his first daughter with Ambassador Virginia Hesse, a twin with a late woman who died under mysteriously circumstance and another one with a Nigerian national.
He says in all the president has five daughters, including one with Rebecca Akufo-Addo, the First Lady.
The former Director of Communications at the Presidency under late president John Evans Atta-Mills made this statement on the ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ afternoon socio-political show hosted by Kwame Afrifa Mensah on Accra-based Happy FM.
“This is how nauseating the levels of nepotisms and cronyism are in the ten month-old administration of the NPP under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” he said.
“It is only under the NPP that cousins and distant cousins have all grabbed positions; this has never happened in the history of Ghana’s politics,” he reiterated.
But in a sharp riposte, Deputy General Secretary of the governing NPP, Obiri Boahen described Mr Anyidoho's allegations as the effusions of an uncouth and uncultured being.
"....it is only uncultured individuals who will go to town with such statements about the president," he asserted.

koku u are a ***barred word***
Where was Koku when Ibrahim Mahama was grabbing all the juicy contracts and even had military men providing security for him?
Koku Anidoho has never made any sensible dtatement in his political life time. Its about time we check his academic records and verify if he did pass his various academic exams at the various schools he attended. I believe he was just pushed through the various levels to avoid financial losses to his father. I wonder the type of children he will produce.
Again Ghanaweb is censoring comments so we will post our comments on this story here and here it is. NDC is suffering. They have lost the plot and have now been reduced to peddlers of senselessness. That is what the excellent governance of the NPP, led by President Akufo-Addo that is achieving the greatest fantastic results has done to the NDC. NDC must up their game if they want to win elections in 2052, should they have a party by then, and crowd in that missing ingredient Kwesi Botchway told them about, or be looking at 2088, before intelligent and responsible Ghanaians begin to even look at that their party again.
Who ever that says koku Anyidoho's observation doesn't matter is a joker. Governance is not about family. Its about a nation. And who told you the current government is not corrupt? This is the most corrupt government in our history. That is why the npp's own vigilante groups have started beating them. Expect more lashing from your vigilante groups.
What Koku Ayidaho is saying here is being misunderstood by all these little minds. Koku is saying that Akufo Addo is giving out jobs to more of his cronies and concubines and tribesmen to the detriment of his own party men and women who may be more "qualify" than those cronies. You all wake up. This the same thing the Trump administration is doing in the USA.
In our part of the world what Koku is talking about is irrelevant.What matters most is someone who will look after our money and not embezzle it and that is what Nana is doing.Nana an aristocrat who has fought all his life for the poor
Who doesn't know in this country that Mahama cannot zip his trousers, when it comes to womanizing, it is open secret in this country that what formal president Mahama hateee to see is BIG BUTTT, no wonder he has 18 children
Kwaku Anyidoho is a big disgrace to his children and his party
hahahah if this is true then Nana to dey ooo eeei.
