Former Sports Minister and Member of Parliament for Odododiodoo constituency, Nii Lante Vanderpuye has tagged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as a lucky leader.
According to him, the President is only enjoying what has already been cooked in his absence.
He said Nana Akufo-Addo and his government are just fortunate to meet peace at Dagbon and its environs but are not the brain behind it.
“ . . Nana Addo and his NPP must know that their two and half years spent in government cannot resolve a conflict that has been in existence for the past seventeen [17] years. They should stop claiming the works done for peace when the title-holders of the peace ensued have kept quiet praying for this peace to be sustained forever,” he stated.
Speaking on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ programme, Nii Lante Vanderpuye stated that “the only significant role the President played in the Dagbon issue was ‘to wear that Menzgold outfit’ to the programme”.
He charged every politician to be very watchful of statements made on the struggle to gain peace at Dagbon because a lot of residents are still not happy about the final decision taken.
“As politicians we must be mindful of what we say to help Yaa Naa Mahama Abubakari II succeed, as we also bear in mind the huge amount of resources the nation has lost in curtailing this conflict, out of which I have also enjoyed peace in my constituency, ” he sad.

I am not suprised you are saying what you are saying. An ***barred word*** like you will see no good.
This guy is another empty-headed NDC Big shot who under normal circumstances would have ever qualified as a Substantive Minister. His logic is very poor and cannot speak or argue substantively to an issue except hurling insults at opponents and indulging in baseless party-politic polemics. All those in previous Administrations and the prominent Chiefs who played any role to resolve the conflict had been richly acknowledged. But that did not mean we should underrate the important and accomplished role that Nana, the President played to secure, as it were, the final peace in the conflict area, Dagbon. And yet this prominent NDC Big shot has lost his reasons.
As for you Nii Lante Vanderpuije, good Nana Addo did not play any significant role, we all understand. You are a typical GA and an MP. Were you not here when the Chiefs of Accra went to the President begging him to help solve the numerous chieftaincy problems in Accra?? Please I also understand because you are not from the North so you did not see what the President has done. What did your president John Mahama who is from the North did to bring this problem to an end. Please spare us the jealousy statement which will only come from an NDC MP who is part of the Creat , Loot and Share Policy which is the only policy John Mahama and NDC implemented when they were in power. Nii Lante, help the GA chiefs to solve the age old Chieftaincy problems which has crippled the entire GA State. Shame on You, Jealousy man from NDC.
I am a northerner and live here and know what has gone on all these years.Those politicians who were supporting one faction. So Nii Lante we do not need you to tell us the role the past presidents played. We know the one who actually brought the peace we need and the one who play instrumental role in the installation of the new Ya Na.
"As politicians, we must be mindful of what we say..." yet you go ahead to insult the president. F00li$h man
What’s this fo.ol.i.s.h guy saying? Cheap politics.
We need a substituteservice first these politrickcians
These are the type of utterances that sent NDC to opposition, yet they are not learning. Do you know you have not only insulted the President, but all Northerners by saying Nana wore a Menzgold outfit to the programme? $enseless creature.
This Dagbon peace has exposed your double standards big time. When the NPP said Kwame Nkrumah should not be the founder of Ghana and that there were other people who started the process leading to the independence, you disagreed and went ahead to declare him as the sole "fighter". Just as happens in a relay races, someone starts and the last person finishes it as a team. So if we go by your warped logic, all the preceding presidents before Nana Addo should not matter because he finished the final and most crucial deal part just as you claim Kwame Nkrumah did. Hypocrites and parasites.
You can cry to fill the valleys still the fact remains that the peace of Dagbon was brokered during Nana Addo's time. Why didn't it happen in your time...because you have to clue how to do it. Your leader lacked the credibility to handle delicate issues such as Dagbon. Shut your mouth let's have some peace of mind. Apuuuuuuu
