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.

Who killed Atta Mills? Only murderers see other murderers. Omane Boamah and his boss should tell Ghanaians who killed Atta Mills, they they can convince some i-di-ot-s that nana will destool chiefs. Mills' death is so fresh in our minds. We cant forgive mahama and friends.
Imane Boamah is illeterate scholar. So chupid. ***barred word***. So U.gly. So St.incky. Human in Anemal skin. ***barred word*** bi ba. ***barred word*** bi ba. Donkor bi ba. Boamah e! Wo ho tantan se adwee. Pinpoint the chiefs who will be distooled by Akufo. It means mAHAMA will also distooled Chiefs who criticize him in case he wins power.

Help make Nana the next president and our national coffers shall be safe!!
Desperate people sure do desperate things hence saying this preposterously ridiculous things. I don't expect any less of this dimwit. Mo time asooooooo. Pack out
Are the total cost of all the projects captured in the Green Book commensurate to the over $ 26 billion in loans contracted by this government in the last 71/2 years? Do we have value for money for all the supposed projects in the Green Book or we have been short-changed by these apostles of create, loot and share
They did not only destool Yaa Naa but the also slaughtered him, the bath Adam Mahama with acid and went on to forcefully remove Afoko and Agyapong from from office instructed by Nana Ado. Destooling a chief is as easy as sacking a cleaner as far as Nana is concerned. Even the chiefs are aware of that. Nana is dangerous!
Wow!And this guy is a qualified medical doctor! Omane Boama is a disgrace to his profession. In his quest to protect his job and please his boss,he is prepared to defend any comment made by the President no matter how absurd it is. In fact his behaviour is very nauseating to say the least. His appointment as a minister of communication is a great disservice to the nation .
No problem we accept that Nana Addo is not humble in your opinion. But he wont kill his boss n cover up.what does that make of incompetent mahama. If ur master dies strangely n u still can't tell Ghanaians the cause of it , what does it make u.? A humble n peaceful man? Blocked headed n quack doctor
