The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, has rubbished claims\u00a0by some\u00a0communicators of the incumbent\u00a0National Democratic Congress (NDC), that he traveled to South Africa to seek medical care.<\/p>\n
Reports on Friday indicated that the NPP leader was flown to South Africa for an emergency medical care after falling ill.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I knew all of you will be relieved to see me. I am not on a stretcher. I get the impression the NDC do not want me to travel. Every time I am going to travel, [they assume] I am going to see doctors, I am on a stretcher…. I am going to continue to travel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nana Addo’s health has been a topical issue in the political circles, with some suggesting\u00a0that the 70 year-old man, \u00a0has serious health issues and will be unable to run an effective campaign to bring the NPP victory in 2016.<\/p>\n
He has on several occasions clarified that he is good shape and fit<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>to run an effective campaign that will lead to the party’s victory.<\/p>\n He made one of such claims on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong> some weeks ago, when he told host of the show, Bernard Avle, that he is healthy and ready to embark on the election campaign for 2016.<\/p>\n \u201cI am ready; physically I am in good shape. The atmosphere I believe is favourable for the messages that we are giving and I believe the country is waiting for us to come forward and make a change in the destiny of Ghanaians. I want to be a part of that process of changing the destiny of Ghanaians,” he said.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Marian Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
