A Question Of Judgement: Akufo-Addo’s Bottoms Gaffe

To some it was a surprise to hear the presidential candidate of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo, publicly being profane. There are however others who were not surprised at all.

Whichever the case maybe, the good people of Ghana must now look for answers to questions such as the following; How on earth can any decent person, let alone a presidential hopeful, joke with the big bottoms of a deceased woman?

How sensitive is Mr Akuffo-Addo, given that no child wants his/her mothers bottom as a centre of a joke, dead or alive? What sort of respect does Mr Akuffo-Addo give to his own wife, learning in public that her husband is not only an admirer of another woman’s bottom, but secretly shared it with that lady?

The secret of why the nickname ‘BOTTOMS’ is not far fetched: we all know he cannot tell the world the obvious-…and what is the obvious? An affair?

It looks like their attempt to explain this gaffe has only opened a can of worms.Unfortunately until his secret woman passes away, we will never know. So those women who have had affairs with this man be ware not to die before him, else your secret will be out? This is a man who has already misjudged the Ivorian Crisis by vehemently advocating for the commitment of Ghanaian soldiers to choose another nation’s leader, damned the grave consequences.

Even a child can easily deduce from above that, there is something seriously amiss here. If the NPP has chosen such a man and strenuously defending and supporting him, what can we say about the judgement of the whole party? Lest we forgot former president Kufour’s unanswered questions about his ‘cleansing’ the castle with women.

It looks like the choice of this man as NPP’s presidential hopeful, has made the road to 2012 election victory, a comfortable lane for NDC: bad for democracy. The NPP has to prove they have some decent men left amongst them.
