Controversial musician WanLuv Da Kuborlor has weighed in on the ongoing discussion about President Nana Addo's speech which was plagiarized.
According to Wanluv who took to social media to express his dissatisfaction in a series of tweets, the President could have written his speech for other people to quote him in future and the fact that he didn't do that hurt him a lot.
He also reacted to people who said that speeches were not important but how the President works hard to improve the economy was rather important.
He argued that a mere apology from the speech writer was not enough and that he should be sacked.
Kulolor tweeted:
"i beleive our president is cable of writing an original speech which others will quote one day, but he did not...dat is wot scares/pains me
Speech no b important like why dem dey giv am mek millions listen? Y dem dey do speech 4 every formal n informal function? e team cause am

That phrase or sentence came from Christian Lindke and even before he published his book "Citizens, Not Spectators, A Democracy in Action Civic Education Curriculum for High School Students" which had that re-phrase sentence "...I ask you to be citizens: Citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building communities of service and a nation of character...", it was made known by Wilson Woodrow the 28th President of the US (1913 to 1921), in a book by By John Milton Cooper, Jr Who made it known in Biography of the American President, Published by Knopf Doubleday. With this background details, I think its George Bu.sh Jnr the 46th President of the US, who needed to be held for plagiarism when that what made. But, in a state of the nation address or speeches, the speech book contains some reference, which will have these names as a background quotes. But, not included in the main speech being delivered for time factor and other reasons. There is absolutely nothing wrong, When Obama uses phrases of Martin Luther King Jnr in state speeches and address. Nana Addo used those phrases and short sentences because, it sends a message out there... that doesn't mean he copied a who speech, if he had, then we could sound the plagiarism alarm, when the reference is not made. And when there are other quotes and phrases from other authors, that is research not plagiarism.
NANA CANT WRITE HIS OWN SPEECH THAT'S NOT HIS FIELD BUT THE ONLY THING HE SHOULD HAVE DONE IS TO READ WELL BEFORE READING IT TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
THE PEOPLE OF GHANA DISTANCES OURSELVES FROM THIS PLAGIARISM BY NANA ADDO!! EVEN AS A CHILD, I USED TO COVER MY 1+1=2 FROM COPY COPY!!
