Minister of Communications, Edward Omane Boamah has backed comments made by President John Mahama concerning flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo that because of the divisive nature of the latter, he could destool chiefs who criticize him.
President Mahama, the NPP flag bearer may cause the destoolment of chiefs who will speak against his government if he wins power in the December 7 election.
The president, who was speaking at a rally at Suhum in the Eastern Region said Ghanaians will do themselves a great deal of disservice if they vote for such “an intolerant leader who is not ready to accept any contrary views” to his position on issues.
“Nananom, if he (Akufo-Addo) becomes President and you criticize him, he will destool you," he said.
His comments have been hugely criticised as some political pundits think it is impossible and will be against the law for a President to destool a chief.
Even though the NPP flagbearer has denounced those statements by the President accusing him (President Mahama) of having no campaign message, and resorting to the politics of scaremongering and untruths in his bid for re-election, Dr Omane Boamah insists ‘he will do it’.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, the Communications Minister said if Nana Addo has superintended over the suspension of kingpins in the NPP and ensured the reign of a culture of silence in the party, “what shows he cannot do it when he becomes President?”
“He will do it…If he has done it as a flagbearer what shows he cannot do it when he becomes president…” he opined.
Omane Boamah has therefore asked Ghanaians to choose President Mahama ‘who has proven to be humble’ and peace-loving.
“It’s a choice between peace and humility and violence and arrogance and everybody knows Nana Addo is nowhere near humility and peace…” he added.

I'm surprise Dr.Omane Boamah could support such an infantile statement. Should I be? no not at all!!. He must support his master's comment else, he loses he job. Glad he didn't make this comment on any better platform but on Radio Gold -station for his party; he would have lost the little respect he has. God saves Ghana and these so called leaders.
NDC will use all tactics : foul and mean, to cling to power. They are afraid that when they are out of office their'evil' ways shall be exposed. Fear has gripped them, so they are shaking like palm leaves.BUT sure enough .....'one day for Master' is coming soon for them. JUDGEMENT DAY IS IMMINENT.***barred word*** AND ***barred word*** ALL THESE 26 PLUS YEARS AND STILL YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED. GREEDY AND SELFISH,AND VERY CORRUPT CONGRESS. Yet you have the effontory to call other political parties violent,***barred word***,undemocratic. You even kill your own president(boss) to come to power and your conscience does not prick you. YOU CAN RUN,BUT SURELY YOU CAN'T HIDE. There is nemesis.
The death of Atta Mills and those id-i-o-ts such as Omane, Kwakye,Fiifi Kwartey have moved some of us from the ndc to NPP. we are campaigning massively for CHANGE for the corruption and the incompetence of the Mahama led govt is also appalling. Change is Coming. Nana is coming
that is why i am not voting NDC this time around. will this reduce electricity bills? Solve unemployment? i wish u guys a loosing elections...yaaa Mahama
OMANE WAS ON POINT. AKUFFO ADDO WILL DESTOOL CHIEFS PURPORTED NOT SUPPORTING NPP. AKUFFO ADDO WILL ENGINEER THEIR DESTOOLMENT OR WILL RELAX SECURITY FOR THEM TO BE KILLED LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO YAA NAAA.YAA NAAA WAS SPECULATED TO BE A SUPPORTER OF RAWLINGS. A CLEVER WAY OF DESTOOLING HIM IS TO RELAX HIS PROTECTION AND SECURITY FOR EASY ATTACK ON HIM AND EVENTUALLY HIS DEATH.DO YOU RECALLED ABORTIVE PETITION WHICH WENT ROUND SOLICITING SIGNATURE TO TRIGGER DISMISALL OF PAUL AFOKO. AKUFO FEIGN NOT TO BE AWARE OF. SIGN OF HIS DEVISIVE ATTITUDE. NDC, STRONGER TOGETHER,
NNP does not know how to do practical politics. NDC knows all the pragmatics of politics even though they are create, loot and share party. Come on NPP, learn to play their game. If they say something against you like Akuffo Addo is a divisionist, reply them strongly that they have sacked twenty three parliamentarians who dared to go solo. That they suspend Kofi Adams for over two years. Make noise with it and say it over and over again the way they make noise with yours over and over again, for many Ghanaians do not vote on issues, but on trivial stuffs like these ones. For example, the President insults Ghanaians, saying we have short memory. He also said he is a death goat, meaning he doesn't care. NDC played yentie obiara in Kumasi and the President confirmed the statement " he is a death goat" by dancing to the tune of yentie obiara. He made so many promises which never come to pass. He says no one can criticize him because we have not been president before. He never apologized. Draw Ghanaians attention to the price of petrol at world market and the price high price Ghanaians pay for fuel to support the fact that the President doesn't care. Compare that to your time. Make more noise on the fact that the president said it is not roads and hospital that we will eat, but he has turn round saying thayt we need these things first. Is this not as hypocrisy? NPP use twenty billion to do similar projects which NDC have used two hunderd fourty billion. Where is the rest of the money? They have just constructed Agona Nkwanta-Axim road, but they have let it look like they have reconstructed all the roads in Western Region. Just go to Esiama to to Nyinase, passing through Kwame Nkrumah's village, Nkroful, and you will see super potholes throughout to Anyinase. I was clothed in dust when I used it. The same is true in Edward Mahama's village, Sandema in the North, which came on TV Africa. Make more noise on these things. Say them over and over again. Also make noise and tell Ghanaians that if Nana Addo were a divisionist, he will not have accepted the bogus verdict of the election petition where we saw pink sheets with duplicated serial numbers. Make noise on such things, for few Ghanaians vote on issues, but many vote based on trivial stuff like these ones. By so doing, you give those Ghanaians food for thought. Silent means consent, so counter them over and over again.
SO WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE TELL US. AFTER ALL WE ARE GOING TO VOTE.BECAUSE OF CORRUPT1ON YOU PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF NANA. CHANGE IS ALMOST WITH US.
Look at how politics has made you lose your sense correctness. You know that what you are saying is far from reality but you are defending this sense#less talk. You are a disgrace to the medical profession.
I Omani boama can support mahama that Nana Akufo Addo has the power to destool chiefs in Ghanaland then my Dog is clever than he omani boama.
And Mahama will blame the media for blocking his shine thus they don't talk abt his good works. This is a minister of communication who has to bring to bear the so called good works Mahama is doing. And u sit on radio at this time and say these words.?? How do u convinced me to vote for Mahama. Just ***barred word*** if Uve got nothing important to say.!!!🤐🤐🤐🤐
