The New Patriotic Party (NPP) branch in Germany has said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo deserves his Africa of the Year Award.
It noted that no amount of propaganda from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) can change that.
Forbes Africa magazine earlier this month named Ghana’s President as the African of the Year for his strides in the past year.
Some members of the NDC criticised the recognition including Kwadwo Twum Boafo who likened the award to that of ‘Husspupi’ (the fraudster).
But the NPP Germany has released a press statement to hit back at the critics.
In a statement signed by Communications Director Nana Osei Boateng, it says “Reality will not leave propaganda to rest and that is why even Kwadwo Twum Boafo himself knows that Akufo-Addo has fought for the continent over the years, stood elite amongst many and has achieved a lot under his belt as President, as African and as Human.”
Taking a swipe at the NDC, the NPP Germany adds that the opposition party was asleep when Akufo-Addo spoke for Africa on bigger platforms, called for unity in many nations, fought for former French colonies in Africa, pushed for better conditions for cocoa-growing countries on the continent and amongst all things settled political instability in some African countries.

EVEN TWUM BOAFO KNOWS AKUFO-ADDO IS AFRICAN OF THE YEAR
His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been named the African of the year for the year 2021 by Forbes Africa Magazine. And some non-achieving members of the NDC, filled with mediocrity and irrelevance has sort to downplay the significant efforts of the President for entire Africa.
Kwadwo Twum Boafo, an NDC member seeks to liken President Akufo-Addo’s award to that of Husspupi (the fraudster) in an attempt to run the President down in the matter.
Reality will not leave propaganda to rest and that is why even Kwadwo Twum Boafo himself knows that Akufo-Addo has fought for the continent over the years, stood elite amongst many, and has achieved a lot under his belt as President, as African, and as Human.
The NDC was asleep when Akufo-Addo spoke for Africa on bigger platforms, called for unity in many nations, fought for former French colonies in Africa, pushed for better conditions for cocoa-growing countries on the continent, and amongst all things settled political instability in some African countries.
If Kwadwo Twum Boafo had something to show about his own life, he wouldn’t be on Tv to run down the President’s achievement. He should get to work and achieve something rather than hating.
The President, NPP and Ghana will remain focused on the grand agenda to move the country forward.
God Bless Ghana, the Npp and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
