President Akufo Addo has apologized on behalf of the deputy Minister for Trade and Industry Robert Ahomka-Lindsay for claiming that some members from the diaspora excessively whine.
Mr. Ahomka-Lindsay speaking at an event organized by the diaspora community in Accra said “nobody likes whiners, people that spend all the time whining really get on people’s nerves. So, stop whining; stop saying this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work; please, we know it doesn’t work so stop whining all the time saying it doesn’t work. If it worked, you probably won’t be sitting there.”
The comments by the deputy minister was strenuously rejected by the community, leading to uneasy friction during the event.
But speaking to journalists at the Flagstaff House vis-à-vis his first six months in office, the president apologized to members from the diaspora for the friction that had been caused by the deputy minister’s comment.
“The Diaspora Summit gave us the opportunity to listen to the diaspora firsthand. I apologise to Ghanaians who are overseas for the whining” he said.

I know he will query him or summon him to office to let him know what he did was wrong but as a great leaders he did what is expected of a good leadership. Tanzania and Ghana are two different countries so we compare those in our country not outside. Why dont u compare urself with those on medication at pantanng?
It ought to follow with firing before it can be considered as strong leadership. So far what we have is one of week Leadership which people are surprised considering nana's pedigree prior to assuming office. Can you compare Nana to the Tanzanian president???
This is what I call LEADERSHIP.
