The presidency has distanced itself from a purported tweet by Nana Akufo-Addo in support of the embattled Chief Executive of gold dealership firm, Menzgold.
In a statement Thursday, the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin explained that the said tweet noting that the meeting between the President and Nana Appiah Mensah is fake.
“I want to put on record that NEVER has the President’s Twitter handle been used to do that. That supposed tweet is a fake… President Akufo-Addo never had a one-on-one meeting with NAM1 on April 25, 2018,” Eugene Arhin wrote.
He explained that on the said date, football governing officials from the continent and the country “paid a courtesy call on President Akufo-Addo, ahead of the conferment of an honorary doctorate degree by the University of Professional Studies.”
“The then-Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kwasi Nyantakyi, only brought NAM1 [Nana Appiah Mensah] to the meeting because four days earlier, on April, 21, Zylofon had indicated its decision to sponsor the Ghana Premier League,” he added.
“Never on that day did the President have a one-on-one meeting with NAM1,” Mr. Arhin stressed, adding that he never had the President post the fake tweet.

Yes, he is a citizen of ghana but a big time fraudster and an npp financier, which Akufo Addo benefited from.
WHAT IF NANA ADOO MET NAM1? IS MR APPIAH MENSAH NOT A CITIZEN OF GHANA JUST LIKE ALL OTHER CELEBS WHO MET WITH NANA ADDO? SHATTA WALE, WENDY SHAY, LATE EBONY ETC. STOP YOUR HYPO!
Alfred, I couldn't agree with you more. I don't get the point about him meeting the president or even being a friend. So what? The president meets all manner of people and rightly so. Let's deal with the real issues and stop the tangential issues.
Those who don't know always talk rubbishhhhhhh. Nam 1 or what ever his name is was never popular when NDC was in office. Because they caution the public severally against his organisation which was changing names. HE became NAM 1 when this uselesssss government began to promote him. A customer base of about 20,000 increase to 1,800,000 from 2017 till date. Many of us knew what previous government did so those who don't know should zip and stop talking nosenseeeeeeeeeee. Same way NDC was not giving Nyantakye breathing space. When NDC lost election what did Kwesi Nyantakyi say, "NDC was giving him hell". NPP came and he was free. If it was not Anas tiger whatever Nyantakyi by now would have taking over the entire country.
Aaaaahhh, i don't understand the kind of politics we do in this country and the kind of nation we are building. If Akufo Addo met the guy under whatever situation, and so what? Is Akufo Addo as a presidential candidate or as president a licensing authority to know that he is not licenced for what and what? What about a whole government system that sat by to watch that empire of scam built up and grown?
