A Ghanaian-German Politician, Anthony Rau, claims Nana Akufo-Addo has been warned by his Doctor to quit politics on health grounds. The Hamburg-based international human rights Activist claims the twice-defeated presidential candidate recently had a heart surgery in London, which prompted the warning from his Doctor. According to Rau, one of Akufo-Addo�s wife�s confidants - a fellow female Activist, whose name he refused to mention - informed him of the former Attorney General�s precarious health problems. ��She told me that she had a conversation with the wife of Nana Akufo-Addo and she was crying bitterly that her husband nearly died and the husband has [had] a surgery of his heart and now the Doctor has warned Nana Akufo-Addo to quit politics other than that, he�ll die�, Rau claimed Akufo-Addo�s wife�s confidant told him. Rau, who conceded to XYZ News that Nana Akufo-Addo stood the greatest chance of winning the presidency if he runs in 2016, however warned that those in the NPP who are forcing him to go for a third time, are doing him a disservice, since they are aware of his medical condition. ��They should tell the truth; he�s sick; he can�t [be a] candidate anymore and that�s it�, the 2011 mayoral candidate for Hamburg said. However, NPP General Secretary, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie told XYZ News �Nana Akufo-Addo is not ill, he�s well�the last time that I saw him, he was very well�I spoke with Nana Akufo-Addo three days ago and I did not speak to him on a hospital bed so I don�t know where these things are coming from�. He did not confirm or deny if Nana Akufo-Addo indeed has undergone heart surgery recently as claimed by Anthony Rau.
