Minister of Communications, Edward Omane Boamah has backed comments made by President John Mahama concerning flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo that because of the divisive nature of the latter, he could destool chiefs who criticize him.
President Mahama, the NPP flag bearer may cause the destoolment of chiefs who will speak against his government if he wins power in the December 7 election.
The president, who was speaking at a rally at Suhum in the Eastern Region said Ghanaians will do themselves a great deal of disservice if they vote for such “an intolerant leader who is not ready to accept any contrary views” to his position on issues.
“Nananom, if he (Akufo-Addo) becomes President and you criticize him, he will destool you," he said.
His comments have been hugely criticised as some political pundits think it is impossible and will be against the law for a President to destool a chief.
Even though the NPP flagbearer has denounced those statements by the President accusing him (President Mahama) of having no campaign message, and resorting to the politics of scaremongering and untruths in his bid for re-election, Dr Omane Boamah insists ‘he will do it’.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, the Communications Minister said if Nana Addo has superintended over the suspension of kingpins in the NPP and ensured the reign of a culture of silence in the party, “what shows he cannot do it when he becomes President?”
“He will do it…If he has done it as a flagbearer what shows he cannot do it when he becomes president…” he opined.
Omane Boamah has therefore asked Ghanaians to choose President Mahama ‘who has proven to be humble’ and peace-loving.
“It’s a choice between peace and humility and violence and arrogance and everybody knows Nana Addo is nowhere near humility and peace…” he added.

history must tell ghanaians and the idiooots that osagyefo kwame nkrumah destooled some chiefs in ashanti region who made certain comments so why can't akuffo addo do the same
Now I am convinced that the current NDC leaders in government and party officials are so shallooow. I do not know whether the President inherited the shallooowness in thinking from his party or the other way round. Of course the baby Goebbels are naturally infected. A doctor in training ... I wonder how his decisions in the operation hall will be beneficial to patients. I for one would not entrust my health matters to this 'doctor'.
This statement is total ***barred word***
this will make nana get even more votes from the chiefs themselves!!!
Mahama is worse ooo.If Mahama does tolerate you he kills you.Go ask President Atta Mills family.So in the case Nana do is even generous. What a fuulish and us-s--less talk from a President.?

Mr. minister, how about Mahamah sacking 23 parliamentary nominees, not to talk about suspension; and where is your living founder and you are glorifying cpp's founder. Wait till the day you will also be sacked and you will know who you are working for
