New Patriotic Party Presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo has dismissed claims that he wants to move the national capital to Kyebi in the Eastern Region when elected Head of the Republic.
Last week, images of a purported leaked email attributed to Nana Addo and a member of the NPP surfaced, hinting that the NPP Presidential Nominee plans to the capital from Accra to his hometown, Kyebi.
The leaked email also purported that Nana Addo had promised a German firm a contract to build a new Township in the Eastern Region and use it as the new capital for the country.
Responding to the issues in the studios of Peace FM, Nana Addo stated emphatically that he doesn't "send e-mails. I don’t do that. I understand it well. I have an account but I don’t use it...I prefer face to face dealing.”
He explained the reports as a propaganda strategy by his political opponents to score political points.
“In fact, it’s alarming for someone to even imagine that. It’s like when they said that President Kufour would carry the sea from Accra to Kumasi. It is a pity that our opponent, that is the level of engagement they want to bring to Ghanaians. It’s like they don’t respect Ghanaians. What will make me, within a short period of presidency; move the capital from Accra to Kyebi; because I hail from there?
“I think some people don’t understand that you come to work for the progress of the country. If you are from Bole, does that mean, you must only care about people from Bole? I don’t understand why someone will come out with such malicious allegations that I come from Kyebi, so all that I’m coming to do is to elevate the position of Okyehene just because of politics. I don’t know why someone who come into Ghanaian politics and give very narrow limited vision of what the country is.”

HARLOTT OSEI is learning on the job while Gambia can organize a free and fair election!!! MAHAMA is still sleeping with this Nigerian Alatanii
The Truth of the matter is that all the bull .......s about whether the capital is to be moved from Accra to me is not the point ; the point is the significance of the tribal clan of GA people who are so disunited and VERY NAIVE AND ***barred word*** OF THEIR VERY EXISTANCE !!!!!!!; the GAs as a people are not even aware that they sit on some powerful political dimension in Ghana as POLITICAL KING MAKERS IN GHANA ; they do not as a people realise that for many donkey years they have been the most effective tribal political brokers in Ghana but have gained NOTHING !!!!!!; most of our leaders from the UGCC ; Kwame Nkrumah to JJ Rawlings; Paa Taller -Kuffour have always depended on Gas as power brokers in all the political dimensions in Ghana ; the UGCC used GAS as a base to form their party ; even Paa Grant who was from fante land a rich fante trader used Accra and GA people ; Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP used GA people as a tribe to influence their VICTORY in Ghana ; Busia used GA people to shore the base of his party and win elections because he was married to a GA lady -NAA MORKOR BUSIA ; JJ Rawlings used GA people as a front and a base to develop his confidence but used them and ignored them ; JJ Rawlings used the GAs like Odartey Wellington; Kotei and others in the army to stabilise his rule but employed ewes to help him to wreck Ghana and enrich themselves !!!!!!; WHAT DID JJ RAWLINGS DO FOR GA PEOPLE- NOTHING ; today this ayigbe/ewe thiif is even trying to use his daughter as a conduit to full GA people at OSu ; Kuffour came to power and used Ga people as tool to promote Ashanti arrogance ; buy their lands and used Ayiquaye Otoo to help him in his government what did he do for GAs -Nothing ; today he has bought a land at the airport residential area ; do you think he can buy land in Kumasi -NO way 1111: Atta Mills came also married to A GA woman but what did he do again- Nothing ; then came Jon Mahama who simply hates Ghanas and will never go near them because he thinks GAS are ediotic fulls and aimless and always waiting for their yearly homowo drinks and 'NOKOFIO'; then we have Nana Addo a pure Accra born quasi 'Ga nyobi'-'Aryeetey' singing and denying the fact that he will not move the capital from Accra ; the question is ;'WHAT IS NANA ADDO GOING TO DO FOR GA PEOPLE' in terms of cleaning the capital because I am sure Gas do not mind if the capital is moved provided it is cleaned with proper sanitation and toilets for the people !!!!!!!!; to stop sht......ng on the beaches of Accra !!!!!!!.
It is not all GA people that think this way. The ones along the beach that use the sand at the beach as their public toilets, they are the ones who will buy into this story. They are affraid that when Nana comes they will not get access to the beach to do their call of nature while the sea breeze pass over their rear. Accra needs to be cleaned up with or without lavender hill that area will always smell like 💩
How to you give the presidency to someone who says he doesn't know how to use text messaging in this modern era.
You need to answer the question whether you were the one who discussed with gabby and Ken ofori atta that you intend moving the capital. The question is about whether you do it today or tomorrow, its did you conceive this idea before or not, then we will pardon you. Nana Addo is not veracious at all.
Next time don't hear but see it for yourself. lol samiaaa lol

J . J . RAWLING MUST BE EXECUTED FOR KILLING MY DAD .
Massa; I do not even understand why Nana Addo should even waste his time to discuss such unintelligent issue raised by these fake NDC liars and thiffs ; to me this assertion is just too cheap and must kicked into the gutter ; so what if Nana Addo wishes to to move the capital to Kyebi in Abuakwa ; the issue is of moving the capital has been a matter for discussion for many years ; the fct is does not make any difference ; the administrative capital of Lagos was moved to Abuja ; what difference has it made to lagos ; NO DIFFERENCE ;-Lagos is the most vibrant city in the whole Nigeria today ; moving the capital from Accra does not make any difference ; real operational administrative strategy is to spread the government departments across the country; what is the minister of Agriculture doing in Accra ; what is the minister of mining and mineral resources doing in Accra ; the fact is there are certain minstries that can have their headquarters in Accra but with bases spread all the the country ; we do not need the head office of the passport ooffice in Accra but the MInistry of foreign affairs could be based in Accra ; Nana should have been frank with the people and should have explained the good ecenomic rational for spreading these government around the country ; this cliche that he was born in Accra and maried to a Ga lady or speaks the Ga language is a load of CRAB and COW DUNG !!!!!!; tell the people the rational behind why it would not be a good idea to move the capital ; besides the inhhabitants of acra the Ga tribe have not been helpful to themselves ; they not been a united tribe since their last great chief died ; today everybody is a chief in Accra with various faction of land guards fighting over Ga lands which have been dissipated by various government ; if Gas are united they will be the richest tribe in Ghana today ; can you imagine the sources of revenue that the Chief of a GA state will command -UNTHINKABLE ; today these Chiefs just hang around till August when they are given schannps and Gin for their Homowo by these political leaders to full them ; that is all they know -WHAT A SHAME : NANA ADDO SHOULD HELP GA PEOPLE !!!!!! because historically GAs do not know that they have more in common with tribes like the Kwahus ; Akwapims and Asahatis who are the wealth generators of our time than these uless EWE thiffs whose vocation are just stilling !!!!!bandits; WHAT DID COL KOTEI DO FOR JJ RAWLINGS TO KILL HIM -NOTHING !!!!!!
