George Boateng- the Man Contesting President Mahama For NDC Flagbearer- Checks Himself Into Accra Psychiatric Hospital

This man is a great bit of comic relief the likes of which this country has not seen since Hassan ‘Ayarikof’ Ayariga.

George Boateng, who plans to contest the President in the NDC primaries, has already been firing off some very interesting opinions. Those in the NDC are so threatened by him they are trying to disqualify him from the race.

Not really. However, after General Mosquito made a couple of quips about his mental state, Mr Boateng checked himself into the Accra Psychiatric hospital on Monday.

According to him, the doctors there should assess him, and give him a clean bill of health so that his detractors in the NDC cannot use that as grounds to disqualify him.

“I have information that Asiedu Nketiah and the rest want to disqualify me on the basis that I’m mentally sick, and I will never allow that to happen. So to ensure that they don’t use that against me, I have decided to go for a test at the Pantang Hospital by 10 a.m. sharp.

“The media can follow me and cover the event as I want the public to be witnesses. I’m confident that the doctor, after examining me, will give me the clearance. After that is done, I’ll move straight to the headquarters for another form,” he told Adom Fm yesterday.

“The medical doctors will clear me so that the person could know that I am of sound mind to rule the nation,” Mr Boateng said.

Lol. The doctors might give him a clean bill of health but I doubt very much that Ghanaians would, if his utterances are anything to go by.
