Former Communications Minister, Dr. Edward Omane Boamah has taken President Akufo-Addo to the cleaners over his decision to rename the seat of presidency after nine years since the last name change.
An executive order signed by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and dated March 29 directed that the seat of presidency be from today Thursday March 29, ‘named, known and referred to as Jubilee House’ in place of ‘Flagstaff House’; the name that has been used for the past 9 years.
The order stated among other reasons that “there is no record evidencing the renaming of the seat of the Presidency as Flagstaff House by His Excellency Professor John Evans Atta Mills”.
Dr. Omane Boamah touching on the issue in a tweet ‘mocked’ President Akufo-Addo for naming the seat on his birthday rather than factories from the 1-District-1-Factory policy as promised by his administration.
“Instead of naming factories as promised to celebrate the president’s birthday, he is renaming the Flagstaff House. Anyway both Flagstaff and factories begin with the alphabet ‘F’ = Failure”, his tweet read.
His comments come at a time when many are questioning the rationale behind government’s decision to rename the seat of government from ‘Flagstaff House’ to ‘Jubilee House’.

Pity in Ghana politice,question?..who built the state house,as flagstaff house? former president build it with with the help of india government. and name it as jubilee house;when former president Mills came to power in the name of NDC.he change the name to flagstaff house, which din't go down well with majority of Ghanains,during 2016 campaign nana promise that if he was voted to power he will change the name of flagstaff house back to jubilee house.so question???which party build the state house and name it jubilee house????. it was NPP under H E. john Agyekum Kuffor.so what is this fighting in the name of jubilee house.why NDC. have big mouth in everything NPP will do.is this how Ghana politice is????????.woow..then NDC. politician should go back to school.
Who says anybody has "renamed Flagstaff House"? As @Sammy points out, Flagstaff House is still standing where it was last week and it still carries its old name: Flagstaff House. The newer building constructed during the second administration of John Agyekum Kufuor is called JUBILEE HOUSE. This too is still standing where it was standing before. If Atta Mills decided to rename it in an attempt to cause political confusion and score points, ah well. He is no longer with us. Two buildings on one large site cannot be called the same thing. The new building has reverted to its original name. It will once again be known as JUBILEE HOUSE. And that is only right!
Omane Boamah hasn't learned anything yet after their 2016 election defeat. This kind of talk landed you where you are. I'm not sure that after 8 years in office your govt was able to get the Elmina Sugar factory running. Why don't you address that? Tell us what you would do differently to salvage your badly dented image as a political party. For now, we aren't thinking of your return to power any time soon
Aii Omane you dey?
The NDC could not even built 100 day shs schools in the 8 years given them after promising to build 200 per year yet they have the effrontery to criticise and seek power back. Hypocrisy is k1llingggg these ndc nonentitiessssssss and incompetentttttt bunch of robberssssssss. Nana has 3 years to go and will deliver on his promises.
One fooolïsh mammal who has to go to jail...martin amidu will soon get you.how did u manage to acquire houses at east legon and trassaco...
waaa look at this ***barred word***. another ***barred word*** man in their midst.
How many factories did you build in your eight year reign,Akufffo Addo in only one year,and he is fulfuling all his promises including changing the name from flagstaff house to Jubilee house.You should be ashamed of yourself,You changed the name of a building you had no hand in it'd construction.***barred word*** with sharp teeth.
IT IS BITTER TO LOSE POWER, OMANE. DONT GET FRUSTRATED. HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU CHANGE THE NAME ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO THE MAGNIFICENT BUILDING.I ALWAYS SAY NDC WITH THEIR SO CALL DRS. CANNOT THINK RIGHT. SOMEBODY BUILDS A HOUSE GIVE IT A NAME AND YOU COME TO CHANGE. WHAT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO CHANGE IT AND WHAT DOESNT GIVE THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT THE RIGHT NOT TO CHANGE IT TO THE ORIGINAL NAME. YOU ALWAYS MIX APPLES WITH ORANGES. THE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE IS STILL THERE. THE FACT IS THAT THE GOLDEN JUBILEE HOUSE IS NOT AND CANNOT BE THE SAME AS FLAGSTAFF HOUSE. NDC ALWAYS SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY THAT IS WHY WE HAVE SO MUCH CHALLENGES IN GHANA. THEY CALL GOOD BAD AND THEY CALL BAD GOOD. ABBA.
HOW ABOUT "BLACKMAN HOUSE" OR "AFRICA HOUSE" OR "BLACKHOUSE" OR "UNITY HOUSE" OR "FIRST HOUSE" OR "PEACE HOUSE" OR "GHANA HOUSE" OR "PRESIDENT HOUSE" OR "ROYAL HOUSE" OR "GOVERNMENT HOUSE" OR "COLONIAL HOUSE" OR "ONE NATION HOUSE"? REMEMBER THAT "A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF CANNOT STAND". A WISEMAN SAID "MY HOUSE WAS MEANT AS A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL NATIONS, BUT YOU HAVE MADE IT A "DEN" OF TTHHIIEEVVEESS". A "HOUSE" BUILD ON THE SAND WILL SINK WHEN THE RAINS COME. BUT A "HOUSE" BUILT ON A SOLID "ROCK" WILL STAND FOREVER.
