A leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Dr Richard Amoako-Baah has asked elders of the party to caution President Akufo-Addo against making inappropriate public statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says anytime the President speaks without a script he goes overboard to make statements which are unpresidential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Amoako-Baah is saying this in response to statements made by President Akufo-Addo in Kumasi, which has attracted public backlash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Akufo-Addo while reacting to \u201cno roads, no vote\u201d demands made by residents of Kwabre on Kumasi-based Otec FM, said he is unfazed by such threats, adding that they can go ahead and vote for the opposition National Democratic Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comments, Dr Amoako-Baah, however, believes was unworthy of the office the president occupies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have left the President to be talking anyhow, why? Anytime he is left on his own, it brings issues and no one is cautioning him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was an opportunity for the President to score a political point with his response. If I were around him, I would have tapped him on his shoulder to calm down and made him know it was a trap\u201d\u2018, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Amoako-Baah has therefore asked handlers of the President to always ensure his public speeches are scripted to save him from making unguarded statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
