Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo At The Award Ceremony Of Ghana�s Most Influential Personality For 2013 At Movenpick Hotel, Accra, On April 30 2014. He said in a speech delivered after receiving the award:"I understand that what earned me this award is the now famous election petition and my reaction to the majority verdict of the Supreme Court, a reaction which helped reinforce the peace and stability of Ghana. Obviously, I would have preferred to get such a prestigious award under happier circumstances, but to quote Shakespeare in �As You Like It�: �Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head; And this our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.�
