The Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has expressed shock at the level of cronyism that has engulfed the Nana Addo-led administration.
“Even the former concubine and ex-baby mother of the president has been appointed ambassador in his administration,” Koku Anyidoho alleged.
According to him, the president has four children, one with one Virginia Hesse who has been appointed as Ghana’s ambassador to the Czech Republic.
He explained that the president had his first daughter with Ambassador Virginia Hesse, a twin with a late woman who died under mysteriously circumstance and another one with a Nigerian national.
He says in all the president has five daughters, including one with Rebecca Akufo-Addo, the First Lady.
The former Director of Communications at the Presidency under late president John Evans Atta-Mills made this statement on the ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ afternoon socio-political show hosted by Kwame Afrifa Mensah on Accra-based Happy FM.
“This is how nauseating the levels of nepotisms and cronyism are in the ten month-old administration of the NPP under Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,” he said.
“It is only under the NPP that cousins and distant cousins have all grabbed positions; this has never happened in the history of Ghana’s politics,” he reiterated.
But in a sharp riposte, Deputy General Secretary of the governing NPP, Obiri Boahen described Mr Anyidoho's allegations as the effusions of an uncouth and uncultured being.
"....it is only uncultured individuals who will go to town with such statements about the president," he asserted.

Shame unto all who are castigating Koku Ayidoho. When its was MAHAMA you sha-me-ful people were crying on top of the roof because you're Ghanaians and entitled to talk about what you think its not good about the President or the nation as a whole. So why now Koku as Ghanaian talking about things that he thinks is not good about presidency and you same people are confused. Hypocrites bury you heads in shame.
IBRAHIM MAHAMA, JOHN MAHAMA'S BROTHER WAS AN INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN JOHN MAHAMA'S GOVERNMENT. PREZ ATTA MILLS'S BROTHER CADMAN ATTA-MILLS WAS GIVEN APPOINTMENT THE MILLS/MAHAMA GOVT. THE AHWOI BROTHERS (KWESI, ATO AND KWAMINA) HAVE ALL ENJOYED APPOINTMENTS IN NDC GOVTS. KOKU ANYIDOHO AND HIS FATHER ARE STRONG NDC MEMBERS. RAWLINGS' COUSIN SOUSSOUDIS FEATURED PROMINENTLY IN THE PNDC/NDC ERA. THE LIST IS ENDLESS. KOKU THE HYPOCRITE GIVE US A BREAK
NANA ADDO IS GIVING JOBS TO HIS FAMILY MEMBERS AND SO WHAT? ARE THEY NOT GHANAIANS . THOSE FAMILY MEMBERS YOU ARE CRITISIZING ARE EVEN MORE EDUCATED THAN YOU. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT COMPETENT HERE NOT INCOMPETENT. YOU KORAAAAAAAA WAS GIVEN A POSITION IN YOUR PARTY. ***barred word*** MAN.

well, koku may have a point because we accused mahama of same BUT the point here is that, it doesnt matter is even rebecca iss chief justice, once the person appointed is to serve the interest of Ghana, competent and willing to serve the people and the country in reaching the point we all hoping , then there isnt any big issue. nepotism becomes issue to me only wwhen the persson appointed is not competent like mahama did for his sisters, brothers etc. if you care to know, checck the female aappointees of mahama those made ministers, ambassaddors, ceo etc and you aint be saying so. i agree that time, we need to appoint intra regional, cultural and ethnic class but have we ever conssider FAITHFULNESS and COMPETENCE among others. Hon addo kufour was minister of defence as a brother of prez kufour, clear blood bbrother, nepotism you may say but across board, who as a non military man even appointed in Ghana did a better work as defence minister than adoo kufour, you may disagree but sincere in our heaarts, he did excellent work. Dr apraku wasnt a brother, was appointed and we all saw the end results so KOKU, appointing a relative who can work for Ghana to appointing a non relative who will cause financial lost who is better?, the justification is offori attah, osafo maafo, ursula, sophia akufo, gloria akufo, atta akyea among others working to justify and vindicate the president, isnt it time to check real nepotism than for saying sake?
If you are an Akwamu,Akwapim, Akyim,Ashanti,Assin, Ahafo,a Brong,Denkyira, Fante, Sehwi,Nzima and Dagomba and you voted for Koku Anyidoho's party, because of his utterances think twice in 2020.
Look at this b.u.f.f.00.n who impregnated his wife’s friend under the same roof.
