Former Spokesperson at the Presidency under the erstwhile late President Atta-Mills administration, Koku Anyidoho, has hit back at his critics for praising President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for his social intervention programs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Koku Anyidoho claimed to have heard all the insults rained on him for praising President Nana Akufo-Addo for the social intervention measures he has put in place to ease the burden on Ghanaians, especially the vulnerable in the society.
He, however, counted the insults with joy as some of the NDC Executives joined hands with the ruling NPP government officials to distribute food stuffs to vulnerable groups in Accra, claiming that the interview he granted to praise President Akufo-Addo has yielded positive results.
“So, there are a lot of things that can unite us? But to be frank I even heard Ex-President Mahama on Tuesday congratulating President Akufo-Addo for the decision to give food, both cooked and uncooked to the vulnerable in the society,” the now Chief Executive Officer of the Atta-Mills Institute stated.
He reminded his critics that the only enemy at this point in time is the COVID-19 and not either the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) or the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC); reiterating that it is not the time for partisan parochial politics.
"COVID-19 is the enemy and not NPP or the NDC; . . . When I saw the pictures of the NDC Executives and NPP Government officials together giving food to the vulnerable, I thanked God that the interview I granted on Monday is yielding results, because this is not the time for partisan parochial politics,” he insisted.
He stressed that, “if those small boys who sit under the tree to play cards and draughts will want to play politics with the COVID-19, we can grant them that, but God forbid that I Koku Anyidoho in a crisis moment like this, having worked with a President of the Republic before, having gone through crisis moment, decides to do politics with COVID-19. I won’t do it . . . if that is the reason why you will crucify me then crucify me, after all Christ died and went to Heaven”.
He alluded to the fact that the philosophy of the NDC is rather to show compassion to the needy and the vulnerable in a difficult moment like this than to do politicis.

Who told you that Nana Addo is implementing the policies of John Mahama concerning this outbreak. What happened to your NDC loudest slogan for this covid 19, BRING BACK GHANAINS IN CHINA ,Hope you remember that, If care to know the government has an advisory body who advises the president. The policies are already there, supported by scientific data and analysis, but is been implemented base on the level or the magnitude of the outbreak. John Mahama couldn’t solve the outbreak of Cholera which was even local, how much more Covid 19 which has international recognition
Koku, nobody will crucify you for speaking your mind. But you are gradually crucifying yourself thru your hatred utterances. You will recall you started your own inflicted and imposed battle by describing those calling for certain measures to be put in place against the spread of the COVID-19 as "Propaganda and empty noise and without any scientific basis. Nana Addo has implemented almost all the advise and suggestions put forward by Mahama. Were they propaganda and empty noise? We know you have embarked on a journey of self-destruction because of the sour grapes you have harboured over the years against your own party. Nobody will crucify you but yourself.
If management of a country is easy, Ghanaians wouldn’t have called John Mahama Mr incompetentt till now. Can a party makes sens3 if a character like Akandoh, the dining hall prefect is the ranking member on Health.
EFO KOKU DO THEY HAVE SHARP TEETH????
THUMPS UP EFO KWEKU. YOU HAVE BEHAVED AS A MATURED POLITICIAN. I HOPE THE LIKES OF SAMMY GYAMFI ANF AKANDO WILL EMULATE YOUR PATRIOTISM
Npp and hypocrisy! Today when koku speaks he is maturing. Alright! We live to see how far he goes.
Koku is maturing very in Politics. He is doing a different kind of politics now. God bless you Koku for your nationalistic posture on critical issues about the Ghana
I am not sure I have heard anyone insults him for praising nana addo. Praising nana addo or even licking his a**, is his prerogative. What some people were criticizing him about is when he suggested that nana addo should use the military to enforce the law even after the lockdown. People were saying that is affront to our democratic rights. If the military were allowed in the past nana addo would have jailed him when he called for coup de tat and NDC supporters massed up at the police headquarters to bail him out. It was his nonsensical suggestion that people were criticizing.
We need to be patriotic at all times. We need to be Ghanians all the time. This guy Koku Anyidoho is doing both. Here I like him. Well done Efo
