Sarkodie’s album ‘Mary’ received the biggest pre launch hype of any of his projects so far and that is because this one is particularly special to him.
The album is dedicated to his grandmother, who played a very influential role in his life. So he has been making a lot of media appearances.
The flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, this afternoon addressed party faithful and the nation in an attempt to calm the waters of acrimony and violence that has engulfed the party.
The NPP has been in a state of intense disagreements in recent weeks, over the alleged role of chairman Paul Afoko and General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong in the death of the deceased Upper East regional chairman Adams Mahama.
This has led to more disagreements and more clashes, none of which is casting the party in any sort of good light. Akuffo Addo’s statement is the attempt to stop the madness and get the party back to the level where Ghanaians feel they’re a viable alternative to the current clueless, corrupt, and incompetent tenure of the NDC.
In his speech, the flag bearer called for a cease fire between all factions within the party. He said the violence tarnishes the memory of the late chairman, and calls on law enforcement to deal with the culprits.
Most importantly, everyone should remember the party has an election to win in 18 months time. This is not the time to be divided.
Read the full speech delivered by Nana Addo below…
For the third time, Nana Addo Danwah Akuffo Addo has been elected as the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Nana Akuffo Addo, who managed to secure an overwhelming victory, contested against Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen (a former Minister of Trade and Industry in the Kuffuor administration) and Francis Addai-Nimoh (Member of Parliament for Mampong).
Out of the total number of votes cast by over 140,000 delegates in the 276 constituencies across the country, Nana Akuffo Addo had 117, 413 votes, Alan Kyerematen had 5,908, whilst Addai-Nimoh pulled 1,128. Statistically, this represents 94.35 %, 4.75% %, and 0.91% % respectively.
In 2008 and 2012, Nana Akuffo Addo led the NPP to contest for the presidential seat in the country’s general elections but lost on those two occasions to John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama respectively who contested on the tickets on the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Nineteen year old Rosemary Anima Awuku wasn’t favourite to win the Miss Malaika@10 crown but noticeably she managed to prove and made her way into the final 5.
To the patrons who witnessed the grand finale at the Conference Centre last Saturday, Anima as she was called throughout the event merited a place at the top or final 3 positions; the winner, the first or second runner ups.
However, the final round of questions which she answered well and would have gotten an excellent from any WAEC organised exams saw her crashing and missing a place in the last 3.
She was not only concise in answering the question; she was smart in her delivery as well and wooed the patrons who cheered her on with deafening applauds intermittently.
Barely a month after Alexandra Ayirebi-Acquah who lost the Miss Malaika 2011 crown to Gerry Partington in controversial circumstances endorsed the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and propagated the party’s ‘Better Ghana Agenda’ during its manifesto launch, Anima, a finalist in the 10th anniversary edition has also endorsed the New Patriotic Party’s Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo and his free education policy.
Now in the final round with Sadia, Anima, Regina, Ama and eventual winner Sharon. On her turn to answer her final question which was a make or break moment, she picked a question which was very unusual of questions asked at beauty pageants.

For some reason, I have even forgotten about Wikileaks and their release of US classified reports. In our forgotten minds, Wikileaks has hit Ghana with reports they released on 30th August, 2011 which are; US Embassy cable that says former President Jerry John Rawlings uses drugs and his finance minister at that time was alarmingly incompetent. And another report by former United States Abbassador to Ghana, Pamela Bridgewater, on the profile of NPP presidential aspirants ahead of the 2008 elections.
On J. J. Rawlings, the cable which was created on July 31, 1997 states “Ambassador Princen’s wife concluded emphatically that Rawlings is a drug-user. Periods of high-level energizing were followed by Rawlings’disappearance for thirty minutes, and upon his return he was subdued and even mellow. He perspired profusely at short notice, and consumed large quantities of non-alcoholic drinks. Princen reinforced my own impression that Rawlings’ attention span has shortened of late. But the Princens found the President open, indulgent towards his children, and extremely deferential – even obsequious – towards his spouse.”
