Flag bearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo is too old to stand the rigours of the presidency and, thus, must let go his presidential ambition and consider being a member of the Council of State, General Secretary of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said.
At a rally at Asokore in the New Juaben North constituency of the Eastern Region, Mr Nketia said: “We don’t hate Nana Addo, but we are only saying he can’t do the job of a President. So if he comes here advise him to abandon his presidential ambition. At his age, he can join Oyokohene (a council of state member) at the Council of State to be advising the president.”
“Look at how late in the night it is now, we are here because we have the energy to do so as youth. From here we are not done, we are heading for another rally. The next morning we are on the move again. Our only old man that we pride ourselves with, if we subject you to this speed will it help? That’s why we say, go and sit home and be issuing instructions after meals. Is this a bad advice?
“So please advise him, his strength has left him. His brain is, however, intact, so he can sit and offer advice which we will take. But as for the required strength to walk around as President - the soul wishes but the body is weak.”
Nana Akufo-Addo has persistently fought off the age card game played against him by his opponents and said he is more than fit to be president.

This is soo infantile of Aseidu Nketsia. Infact any utterance he makes pukes.Age is just a number but wisdom and strength is the real thing. I prefer an old but competent president to a relatively young but incompetent,visionless and sluggish Mahama.
I have a Money in my vilage and that Monkey look's Like Asiedu Nkatia
But seriously is the NPP going to change Nana Addo in 2020 elections should he wins this election? Because Nana in 8yrs will be approaching 81 years and I don't know of any right thinking person who would like to force such a person to do the number 1 tedious work in Ghana. For God sake this is Ghana not Zimbabwe. Madam Georgina Wood, 69 years was born on June 8, 1947 which means she attains the ripe old age of wisdom -70 in June 2017, hence her hint of exiting the position of the fourth highest arm of government. It's therefore intriguing that Nana who is approaching 73years and currently has life threatening issues will want to at all cost become president of our youthful Ghana. I think Nana should find another job after failing to become president for over 20yrs. I will recommend he open an NGO to train people on how to organise demonstrations and how to engage in violent acts.. #RetireNana@72 #NoAbabas3 #UsainBoltVictory #JMTOASO
foooolish talk
Is Asiedu Nketiah stronger than Nana? Nana looks stronger than Nketia who looks frail. In any case Nana is also campaigning. Is he sitting at home? NDC should stop believing that Ghanaians are ediotic and will take anything they say without analysing. How can a weakling continue to talking about strength?
So u really need someone to advice u on how to manage the economy? this shows that u cant do the work urself and for ur info even now the young people die more than the old people so u will die and Nana will continue tasting the sweatness of salt whiles u are in the grave weeping. You only mount the platform to advertise Nana more and we are voting for him weather u like it or not and if u dont understand then go and jump into the odawna river and kill urself
Did Asiedu Nketia know someone called Atta Mills? Did Asiedu Nketia campaign for Atta Mills who was not only old but also very very sick? oh Ghana. what is happening at all. Anyway, we still support Nana Addo if he is even seatted in a wheelchair. Period
You (Asiedu Nketia), you will die and leave the Obotantim Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo...Continue making mockery of him...you have never respected anyone in Ghana.
MOCKERY CAN BE CONTAGIOUS;;; EVEN THE WAY HE CONDUCTS HIS POLITICS ON STAGE AND ELSEWHERE IS ALWAYS FUNNY... HE SHOWS NO SERIOUSNESS IN WHAT HE DOES,... IS THAT WHAT GENERAL MOSQUITO WANTS IN THE NDC??? I CANT THINK MAD.NE.SSSS.
