02/21/2017 12:43 pm

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo delivered his 1st State Of The Nation Address today in an august ceremony graced by all high profile political protocols Ghana has but certainly without the immediate past President.

In detail Ex-President John Rawlings and John Kuffour were present but John Mahama was missing though his vice K.B Amissah Arthur was present.

The last time we saw the honest Statesman was in Gambia with Nana Addo during the inauguration of Adama Barrow which we believe he has been back to Ghana because a check on his social media platforms proves so.

However, after the Vetting Committee as a whole recommended Ms Djaba and five other vetted appointees for Parliamentary approval, the house on Friday has affirmed the other five nominees being Akoto Osei, Daniel Botchway, Samuel Atta Akyea, Ignatius Baffuor Awiah and John Peter Amewu to be Ministers, eliminating Otiko Djaba on grounds of house orders.
