The Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin has dispelled claims that the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has purchased new vehicles which are not part of the pool of cars left by erstwhile Mahama administration.
The Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser of National Democratic Congress (NDC) Brogya Genfi alleged that the President was chauffeur-driven in his new bought cars during his tour in the region over the weekend with new number plates.
He said the President is just throwing dust in the eyes of the public by instructing his appointees not to buy new cars saying the cars have already been bought.
But speaking with sit-in host Austine Wood on Abusua FM’s Abusua Nkommo, Mr Arhin explained that the car was the President’s own car used during the electioneering.
He questioned if the car used during his visit were embossed with ‘coat of arms’ in front of it calling on the public to disregard the rumour.
‘The cars used by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during his three-day visit to the region over the weekend are his personal cars. No number plate has been changed. This car in question and another one are not part of the pool of cars at the presidency,’ he explained.
Asked why the President does not use official vehicle, he said ‘National Security has not certified the State cars we met in government, the cars are not fit for a purpose. According to them, the official cars for the president do not meet security feature requirements and that they are working on them. Until then, the President will use his personal cars which have security features we are satisfied with, the vehicles are strong, and there is no problem with the cars at all’.

So what if the President is using his own cars? How many of us know Him personally and the properties he owns? most of us give comments and perceive other people character based on what we have seen or heard and not what we know. we often hate people for the same reason others hate us(perceptions and hearsay). yet we complain about ours. funny world isn't it?
You guys should leave Nana alone. The flag bearers of all the parties that took part in 2016 elections were concerned about their security. Isaw some of the SUVs Nana used during his campaign and I can say they were not rickety. They were as robust as those used bye the ex-president Mahama. I don't even expect Nana to use those cars in the fleet of cars used by Mahama.If Nana decides to use his own cars, what's wrong with that.Who knows, maybe some brakes have been adjusted and before we could wakeup from our slumber, we are burrying another President. Prevention is better than to cure.
NPPigs and their nadaa maradona akuffo addo are clueless, corrupt, incompetent, violent, patapaa, ahantan, akekabensem, apoopoo, hyeehyee, ahunahuna, anumdwa, and gruesomely criminals!
"The cars used by the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during his three-day visit to the region over the weekend are his personal cars." Where did the BMW come from? I thought they he uses that for rounds in Accra. What has it got to do with the Kumasi trip?
Anyway, four years is just around the corner, so when the frog dies we are likely to know its full length. First nana Addo was using 2007 bmw, now he is using his own vehicles. I hope nothing untoward happens to him since it seems he has the penchant to use anything. In an attempt to deceive the public he may one day see himself flown to uk for serious surgery as a result of his disrespect for security.
I think this NDC people do not understand English. Eugene said they have not bought any new car and the one the president is using is his own car. and you don't believe it? do you think President Akufo Addo has only one car? if you car to know, Akufo Addo has several cars. he owns several cars and he can choose to use any of his cars. period.
No No please Eugene don't throw dust into our eyes. Ghanaians are not s.t.u.pids. Tel us presidential custom made vehicles compared with Nana Addo vehicles when he was in opposition which one do you think will be fit for security protocols. Do you THINK through issues well before you speak. Remember the sins NDC committed which caused them the election. They will use the same measure to assess you. You told us the country is broke so we should exercise patience, now you have gone to buy new presidential vehicles and you are telling us Nana's old cars. Time will tell ....
