President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may soon have to rescind his decision to still cruise around town in his old BMW 2007 model as a section of Ghanaians have expressed their displeasure at that decision.
A section of people the Ghanaian Observer spoke to when it sought their opinions at the Kaneshie and 37 trotro stations, suggested that it was both demeaning and insecure for the President to cruise in town in a ten year old vehicle which the State Transport Corporation (STC), the official vehicle valuer would write off.
“My brother, let me tell you, even me as an artisan would not use a ten year old car. I wonder if the electronic diagnostic machine would identify any mechanical fault when it is sent for servicing because it is older than the diagnostic machine”, Prosper Agbey told the Ghanaian Observer yesterday at Kaneshie.
The responses were almost the same at the 37 station where most of the respondents appealed to President Akufo-Addo to rescind his decision.
It would be recalled that Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin recently said over 200 official cars were nowhere to be found at the seat of government, Flagstaff House.
The cars, which he said were part of the presidential pool of official vehicles, are missing from the Flagstaff House garage.
Subsequently, he said, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been forced to use a 2007 model of a saloon car within Accra.
“President Akufo-Addo is currently using a 2007 BMW model purchased by the state during the Ghana@ 50 celebrations. That is what he is using. So where are the cars?” he questioned.

Whether it's right or wrong, u don't have the right to insult the president be civil. What really does the parade of insults u rained on the president say? Does it make your point about the story above? How does your uncivilized behavior contribute to national development?
May be those against our President may not have seen the car themselves that's why they are against him using it it's far better than some of the new v8 u see in town
Our dear President is really one of us and i admire him so much for his humility.He is walking the talk and living by example.Unlike those who preach integrity, accountability from top of roof and what have you, as ostensible purpose but their real Motive is Populism and popularity.I believe in Nana, the President and he would certainly make his mark.And those hypocrites have dug their own grave.
Gabby that V8 Lexus are his own cars which he used during his 2016 campaign. so be informed if you don't know.
Another propaganda to get new car

What is the mileage on the clock for the car in question? I don't know but I guess it will not be more than 50,000. The car may be 2007 model, it's in good condition. For me I don't see anything wrong if the president wants to use it.
I am not one of those Ghanaians who I is kicking against his use of old car. In fact I want him yaamatu.

How many Ghanaians care if he thinks he is so wise and for that matter want to die in old BMW. He is doing all these because he wants to ediotly portray himself as saint, but in an attempt to deceive Ghanaians he may end up dying senselessly.
