BONOHENE BAFFOUR AWAUH SITS WITH NATIONAL CHAIRMAN FOR THE NDC, JOHNSON ASIEDU NKETIA.....

“I’m not saying he’s suffering from a mental illness. But as one advances in age, he or she goes through some changes and sometimes one’s state of mind is affected. So, in some Francophone states, they have set a maximum age limit for a President because they recognize the facts of nature. It is true that there are exceptional cases where some aged persons still have sharp brains and retentive memory and are able to govern a country. But, averagely, there’s a stage in life when one turns a particular age his or her mental capacity reduces. So, our constitution has provided that when we realize that all is not well with our leader, a medical board will have to be set up to examine him. I have operated with President Akufo-Addo in other circles before and I know how sharp he was, and we are now observing him almost at his lowest ebb.”
