Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr Clement Apaak has ‘hit hard’ at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over a video in which the latter is captured, ‘dancing’ with some women in an unidentified setting with ‘hot’ tunes playing in the background.
Mr. Akufo-Addo rhythmically danced along with MzVee’s ‘Come and see my mother’, while the light glimmered in the background.
In a post with the 30-seconds video attached, Mr. Apaak quizzed how the president could find time to ‘party in a club when things are turbulent in the country and Ghanaians are suffering.
“Our President finds time to party in a club in these difficult times! Is this what he is borrowing for? See how NADAA dey bogie as Ghanaians dey suffer!”, the post on his wall read.
This comes on the back of recent comments made by President Akufo-Addo on borrowing. According to him, his government will continue to borrow money to put up projects he described as “assets”, stressing that every country borrows.
Speaking at an entrepreneurship forum organised by the Tony Elumelo Foundation in Nigeria, Thursday, the President mentioned that many developed countries borrow, including the United States borrow.
“We will borrow money; everybody borrows money,” he noted. “The United States of America is one of the biggest debtors in the world. So borrowing money is not necessarily a betrayal of the concept of independence. The key for us in borrowing money is that we borrow money to create assets that will allow us to pay the money back. That is the key…If we borrow the money and use it properly it is an asset for us in expanding our economy and infrastructure.”
The President was responding to a question from one of the participants who asked why he goes for loans from China despite his Ghana Beyond Aid mantra.
“Borrowing money is not aid,” said Nana Addo as he defended the move by the Chinese government to earmark $60 billion fund for infrastructure projects in Africa.

After collapsing small scale mining, the banking sector, the port systems, Spare parts dealers,University Education by dissolving councils- UEW and KNUST, SHS Education with introduction of double tract etc, deep throat information indicate that his next is the Insurance sector. Ghanaians lets beware of this man.
It so sad this man is the president of Ghana. look at the level his incompetence making all of us suffer.
@see why.I agree with you .We as denizens of the country ought to hold government to account.We have to make sure that funds borrowed are put to proper use. However we must avoid this trend that the fashionable thing to do all the time is to bash officials and government over practically everything.The video that you saw; does it depict a president who is having the time of his life in a disco?Besides it is so annoying that the people who have ravished the purse of the country should be the ones who are now criticising the loudest .Every top official of the NDC who served under Mahama is a th*3f.
All those going about defending any government in the of politics is what is killing the country . When we talk about borrowing , yes everyone owes some way some how but the big question is are we using the money wisely ? What have we done with the loans in order to permanently solve our problems and eventually put a stop to the borrowing ? Secondly , are politicians and government rendering proper accounts to the taxpayers ? No . Are we the taxpayers vigilant enough to question government to render proper accounts ? No . Why ? We are blinded by party colors . Then are we fooooolsss ? Yes . . What should we do ? Good question ....Whether you are NDC or NPP we all need to be discussed .Hold government to account . The private sector much check government projects and determine whether it value for money . That makes you a reasonable Ghanaian not those who will go defense of the politicians
This Appak guy is irrelevant.
THE FACT TAHT THE PLACE WAS DARK DOESNT MEAN ITS A NIGHT CLUB. I JUST RETURNED FROM A MARRIAGE CEREMONY RECEPTION PARTY. THE DJ AT SOME POINT TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS EXCEPT A FEW AND THE PLACE LOOKED LIKE A DISCO. THIS VIDEO OF NANA ADDO DANCING LOOKS NO DIFFERENT. AND ONE MORE QUESTION: DID EXPECT NANA ADDO TO BE DANCING WITH MEN? HAABA GHANAFUO!!!!
All these ba*stards talking as if their backsides have never touched a school bench.Who in this world works 24/7 without taking time to cool off? I'm sure if it were not for Nkrumah's free school policy this imp would be driving cattle on the prairies of the North.Now they are the ones vehemently opposed to the free SHS programme.The president says one borrows to create assets so you can pay back the money you borrowed. What is it about this simple truth that this schmuck's feeble intellect cannot comprehend?
P(NDC) is the cause of our suffering in Ghana today...... No development plan for our country from you double salary cr!m!nals. Most of you NDC guys making noise now should have been cooling in a jail for raping our country.
