Accra: 'I am ‘fit’ for the presidency' – Nana Addo insists

Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP], says he is physically fit to contest the November 7, presidential poll – he noted that he has no health issues to expel him for the race. According to him, claims that he is an 'Oldman' is just mere propaganda by the governing National Democratic Congress [NDC] to tarnish his reputation. He said this during an interaction with fisher folks and market women in Chorkor, a suburb in Accra during his ongoing campaign tour in the metropolis.

“They say I am an old man, who cannot even walk. You have seen me for yourself. It is only people who have no message for the people of Ghana who will resort to insults, lies and propaganda. Mahama’s government has shown they have no plans for Ghana’s development, and that is why they always rain insults on me,” he said.

Reiterating his commitment to reducing electricity tariffs, the NPP flagbearer also indicated that, in addition to reducing water tariffs, “senior high school education will be free for all school-going children.”

Nana Addo also assured the women that he will deliver his promises when voted into power - “Look up to me this year and repose your confidence in me and I assure you that I will not disappoint you.”
