President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has instructed his appointees and close associates never to use the accolade – ‘His Excellency’ – in addressing him.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who made the disclosure at a public event Tuesday, believes his boss wants to live a modest life.
“It’s an honour to represent His Excellency… He [Nana Addo] said we should not call him His Excellency anymore,” Dr. Bawumia told the audience at the African Diaspora Homecoming Conference on Tuesday.
Nana Akufo-Addo is said to prefer being called ‘Mr President’ to ‘His Excellency’ which looks more patronizing.
Nana Akufo-Addo has served notice that he is not into government to enrich his pocket.
“If your goal in coming into government is to enrich yourself, then don’t come. Go to the private sector. Public service is going to be exactly that; public service!” the president had cautioned.
Nana Addo, who is Ghana’s fifth president under the Fourth Republic, has promised to protect the public purse.
“We must decentralize more, trust the collective, restore integrity in public life. State coffers are not spoils for the party that wins an election. I shall protect the public purse and insist on value for money,” he remarked during his inaugural speech.

What has this got to do with change in our lives. You guys are squandering the good will you have. In six months tym you won't get this honey moon. Now bawumia doesn't speak economics again.
You are of no difference with koliko so be matured in ur comments cos u wish u had that dwarf in ur family but u never had and u even respect ur irresponsible dad who couldnt take care of u. grow up cos Ghana is far above cheap politics of insults
Does this bring bread and butter unto our table, does this bring cedis up to the dollar. Bawumia has being very disappointing, instead of bringing his economics to bear for the country see this unnecessary trivialities. Now petrol is almost 19 per gallon, cedi is running to 5 and you talking of what. Massa they should not mess with Ghanaians ooo as Addo Kuffuor said. Hmmm
THIS NANA "DON'T CALL ME HIS EXCELLENCY" WAS IT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION? I THOUGHT BAWUMIAH WAS REFERRING TO THE INNER CIRCLE INDIVIDUALS.
That is humility. Big titles for what? God bless Nana Addo
Only God is excellent; so I agree with you, Mr. President.
Eat your hearts out. You have this 'dwarf' for the next 4 years whether you love him or not. He will be in your face, in your dreams and even in your thoughts. You can go and burn the sea. Tweaaaaaaaaaaaa!
