Member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Hopeson Adorye has assured Ghanaians that the party's three-time flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo will by every means win the 2016 general elections.
In a post on his Facebook wall, the NPP Communicator chronicled the ages of African leaders who have over the years ascended the Presidential throne against all odds.
According to him, despite the apparently old ages of these Heads of States, they have not backed down on their duties to the various countries.
"Ellen Johnson Sir leaf became President of Liberia at age 70 in 2006. She was 75 in 2011. She will remain president till 2016, at age 80 years. President Jacob Zuma of South Africa is 72 years old. He will be president till 2019 at 77 years. Nelson Mandela, born in 1918, became President of South Africa in 1994 at the age of 76.
“Still President in 1998 when he stepped down for Mbeki at the age of 80; if he had served two terms, he would have been 84. President Peter Mutharika of Malawi was 74 when he was sworn in on 31 May, 2014. He will be President till 2019 at 79. President Alpha Conde of Guinea is now 76 years old. He was sworn-in in December 2011when he was at 72. President Jose Mujiaga of Uruguay was 75 years old when elected. He is 79 years now....Ronald Reagan, born on February 06, 1911, became US President at 70, and served two terms before retiring in 1989 at the age of 78," he wrote on his Facebook wall.
In his conviction, "Nana Addo will ascend the Presidency and become Ghana's President in 2016 whether you like it or not! With age comes wisdom." |
