The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has described as “laughable” claims that his height will be a major factor to his inability to assume the highest office of the land.
He told host of PEACE FM’s flagship morning, Kwami Sefa Kayi, that “I am not bothered about that at all”
The NPP flagbearer has been derided by some members of the ruling National Democratic Congress [NDC] as a “short and old man” who is not fit to be president.
A couple of months ago at the launch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) campaign for the 2016 elections, a key figure of the ruling party, Nii Lantey Vaderpuije mocked the physical height of the main opposition leader.
“The presidency is not for short people,” he told a gathering of party faithful at the new Cape Coast stadium in the Central Region.
Asked if the jokes about his stature gets to him, Nana Akufo Addo, speaking in an exclusive interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on PEACE FM’s morning show Kokrokoo, noted that though he is not bothered – “the negative politics must stop.”
“We should talk politics of issues. That is more important. Our major problem in this country is about jobs, that is what we have to solve not insults and irrelevant issues,” he said.
He assured Ghanaians that victory for him and the NPP in the December 7 elections will mean that the country will be put at the forefront of the industrialization efforts of West Africa.

Tickle yourself and laugh hard. In your dreams. And you know it: Afoko doesn't make sense. Your ndc mole has been exposed. And since when do you guys in the ndc care so much about Richard Anane?!? I'm perplexed! The same Richard Anane that you guys pull out when it suits you to demonstrate why the kufuor government was corrupt because he got someone pregnant at an AIDS conference?!?
Nana is trying to kill Richard who and for what?
ITS HERE AGAIN.NANA AND HIS CRAAAAZY COHORTS ARE SCHEMING TO KILL RICHARD ANANE LIKE THEY DID TO JB DANQUAH AND CHAIRMAN ADAMS. I SAT DOWN TO LISTEN TO PAUL AFOKO AND PLAYED HIS INTERVIEWS OVER THE LAST YEAR. HE IS SENSIBLE MAN. WE NEED MEN LIKE THIS TO RUN GHANA
Nana Kwame, tell us Mahama's achievement b4 he became a VP and then Prez. Nana Addo could have stolen a lot of money to buy properties like Mahama and his ministers are doing now. But is that really what we want of our leaders?
1)U haven't been able to achieve anything for yourself in life apart from what your parents bequeath to you. 2)Even what your parents bequeath to you sold them at the least opportunity. 3)You talk about corruption whereas you superintend over same in your party-diversion of party funds into your personal accounts and using over 100,000USD for a week European tour 4) the least continues unabated. Making it improper for you to ascend the presidency
Interesting,so people are now challenging GOD,s creation,height has nothing to do with ones abilities,those making such comments are ***barred word***,mounting a very long television pole as an antenna does not necessarily result in clear pictures,GOD in his wisdom decides how he want each and every one of us to look like,so if you mock at people because of their looks,you are simply challenging GOD,S wish.But for politics who is NII lantey vanderpuye,he is definately not in the handsome list of Ghanaian men,
SMH WHY ALL THESE INSULTS? LOOK AT A 73 YR OLD N COMPARE HIM TO OUR SO CALLED 58YR PRESIDENT WHO HAS GROWN PASS HIS HIS AGE ALL BECAUSE OF "BANGINGS" AND WHISKY.#AGED IS NOT A CURSE
DWARF IN FOREIGN GROUP PHOTO LIKE HEADS OF STATE...WE CAN IMAGING.
YE SOMA BA NYANSAFOUR NA ENNYE ANAMONTENTEN. LITERALLY MEANS A WISE MAN IS RATHER SENT BUT NOT A GIANT.SOMEBODY COULD BE A WISE AND GIANT BUT PEOPLE CAN BE GIANT BUT WITH EMPTY HEADED THAT IA NOT WHAT GHANA WANT.
Those people who say that are myopic and should not be even allowed to vote. They should look for Vladimir Putin picture and see his height.
