Founder and President of NPP’s affiliated group, the Concerned Voters Movement [CVM] says the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] was wrong to tag President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the ‘most nepotistic leader in the world’.
The group’s leader, Razak Kojo Opoku in a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com was emphatic that nepotism is well accepted worldwide after citing examples in the holy Bible and Quran.
“Both the Bible and Quran endorsed Family and Friends Administration if Sammy Gyamfi and his NDC paymasters and Members care to know,” a portion of the statemenrt reads.
Read Below the full statement . . .
Jesus Christ Disciples
Among the chosen 12 Disciples of Christ, the following were blood related:
1. Peter and Andrew
2. James and John
3. Jude and James
Prophet Muhammad Campanions
1. The first person to be converted to Islam and became the disciple of Prophet Muhammad was his first wife, Khadijah. Khadijah was a very resourceful, influential and wealthy merchant who solidly supported the spread of Islam.
2. Aisha, Prophet Muhammad's second wife equally was very instrumental in helping assemble the scattered sayings of Muhammad to sustain the Islamic faith.
3. Hamza, paternal half uncle of Muhammad contributed significantly to the course of his nephew Muhammad.
4. In-laws of Prophet Muhammad such as Um Ruman and Abu Bakr all played their part in the administration of Prophet Muhammad.
Moses
The man who wrote the Torah and led Israel from Egypt appointed his elder Sister, Miriam and elder brother, Aaron to assist him in his administration.
The list is endless. Nepotism is not necessarily evil provided it serves the interest of humanity and society.
Countries such as United Kingdom, Spain, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, UAE etc all have one particular family and lineage as the Head of State yet they are among the most successful and wealthy nations in the World.
Akufo-Addo's family and friends Government is for the collective good of the country, at least they have given:
1. Free SHS to over 1.2million Ghanaians.
2. Jobs to over 100, 000 graduates under NABCO initiative.
3. Jobs to over 60,000 Youth in Afforestation.
4. Jobs and wealth to over 900, 000 Ghanaians under Planting for food and Jobs Programme.
5. Startup capital to hundreds of the Youth to start their own business under NEIP.
6. Stimulus package and Financial assistance to Ghanaians to set up their own factories under One District One Factory Policy.
7. Allowances to teachers and nurses trainees.
8. Restoration of confidence and credibility in the Banking and financial sector.
However, John Mahama's Family and Friends Government offered:
1. 4 years prolonged Dumsor to Ghanaians thereby collapsing businesses in the Country.
2. Massive Corruption, Create, Loot and Share.
3. Cancellation of Teachers and Nurses trainees Allowances.
4. Over 70% of Ghana's Bauxite Concession to his Brother Ibrahim Mahama.
5. Collapsing of the Banking and financial sector.
So the difference is very clear between Akufo-Addo's family and friends Government, and John Mahama's Family and friends Government.

See this DIS-APPOINTED general secretary of APC. It's only someone like this disappointed guy who can bring this line of argument. We are not surprise at all! This Bible and Quran verses were just discovered during the last 3-years??? Something is definitely wrong with your thinking!
I like this article. It is backed with facts and figures.
THE BANKS WERE NOT COLLAPSING. WHICH OF THEM. THE HIKES OF THE MINIMUM CAPITAL THAT SOME COULD NOT MEET. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE NORM. ECONOMICS TAUGHT US THAT WHEN RECAPITALIZATION IS DONE SOME BANKS WOULD BE SOLD, OTHERS WOULD MERGE WHILE THE LEAST LIQUIDATED. AND SO IF THE BOG RAISES THE MINIMUM CAPITAL AND OTHERS CAN NOT MEET THE NEW STANDARD AND THE REFORMS ARE THAN. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BLAME A GOVERNMENT FOR COLLAPSING THOSE BANKS. YOU SEE IF THE MINIMUM CAPITAL WAS LOW THEY COULD HAVE AFFORDED AND STAY IN BUSINESS. NPP STOP THE POLITICS. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY LEARNED
WE ARE NOT SAYING NEPOTISM IS NOT THERE. I AGREE IT IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON. WHAT IS WORRYING THAT WE REMIND NANA ADDO AND THE NPP IS THAT, YOU MADE IT A POLITICAL MESSAGE AND IT IS ON RECORD THAT THE PRESIDENT SAID HE WOULD NOT PRACTICE F&F GOVERNMENT. THIS IS JUST A REMINDER. THIS CONFIRM THAT IF SOMEBODY HAS NOT BEEN A PRESIDENT BEFORE HE WILL NOT APPRECIATE. NPP STOP THE EQUALIZATION AND DO THE RIGHT THING YOU PROMISED US. IF NOT, 2020 WE GO SHOW NANA
It becomes BAD when you give 80% of your country's resources like bauxite to you brother at the 11th hr! Mahama and NDC are EVIL for Ghana!
You are hypocrites that is why you will be voted out for sure. You are now telling us that Nana Addo and his family are well educated so it is now ok to practise nepotism. Ghanaians have heard you but remember Ghana belongs to all Ghanaians so we have advised ourselves. ***barred word*** AND LIARS
NANA ADDO HS DONE WELL, HE LOVE HIS FAMILY AND GHANA. THEY ARE WELL EDUCATED AND BLESSED.
Go and tell that to your Nana Addo. Who put a gun on his head to promise that he will not run a family and friend government? Keep on shifting the post. One day you will get to the end of the wall where the post can no more be shifted, then the goal will come.
