Akufo Addo linked?In forged anti-Rawlings tape

The Ghana Palaver says Nana Akufo Addo, MP for Akyem Abuakwa and a ranking member of the Minority Group in Parliament, has been mentioned in a number of high level traditional and political controversies within the past four weeks.

According to the paper, Nana Akufo Addo was summoned by the Akyem Abuakwa Traditional Council to appear before it for derogatory remarks published against chiefs and people in the area, in the run-up to the nomination and installation of the new Okyehene.

The Ghana Palaver says Nana Akufo Addo has also been mentioned as one of those who have given the student crisis political undercurrents by serving as the legal adviser to the Students? Representative Council (SRC) of the University of Ghana, Legon.

Nana Akufo Addo?s paper, the "Statesman" is said to have launched a vitriolic attack on Mr J.A. Kufuor, NPP presidential candidate, accusing him of lacking the vision to lead the NP to the much-wished yet ?impossible? election victory next year.

The Palaver says but, this has been one conspiracy too many, as Nana Akufo Addo has again been mentioned as the brain behind the publication of the contents of the forged tape in last Friday?s edition of the "Weekend Statesman" and the subsequent airing of the content on "JOY FM" radio station.
