Akufo Addo must offer better option—Media Analyst

THE Media Analyst Group, a political pressure group, has described President Mills’ decision regarding the political stalemate in Cote d’Iviore as in the best interest of Ghana and the entire sub-region.
The group accused Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer for his pronouncement that if he was the Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, he would have hurriedly and recklessly commited troops to “a senseless war whose end he cannot predict” in Cote d’Iviore.
The Spokesperson for the group, Mr Alfred Kojo Triddles, who addressed the media in Accra today urged Nana Akufo-Addo to offer better alternative plans for improving the lives of Ghanaians.
He said the pronouncement of Nana Akufo-Addo clearly confirmed what his own party members including Nana Kofi Koomson, the Publisher of the Ghanaians Chronicle who stated on Radio Gold that “he will not be able to sleep should Ghanaians make the mistake and allow Nana Akufo-Addo to become the President of Ghana”.
Mr Triddles said Nana Koomson, who also contested the NPP parliamentary seat in the Effia-Kwesimintsim constituency described Nana Akufo-Addo “as a reckless character,” while another NPP, Mr Michael Ampong also referred to Nana Akufo-Addo as an “anarchists”.
He desctribed the NPP flag bearer as someone who did not have good intentions for Ghanaians but interested in his parochial political interest of becoming a president at all cost.
Reacting to questions from the press, the Chairman of the Media Analyst Group, Mr Mohammed Nuredeen appealed to Ghanaians to see reason in the decision of President Mills and support him.
He cited the forceful removal of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussien from office by the USA and their allied forces and the consequences of the removal not only on Iraq but the entire world.
He said it was for that reason that President Mills was calling for caution in the use of force in the Cote d’Iviore crisis to ensure that there was amicable settlement.
Another member of the group, Mr Hamza Mohammed, said any armed conflict in Cote d’Iviore would have serious repercussions for the country and also on the lives of over one million Ghanaians in that country.
