His comments came hours after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) described Nana Addo as "most corrupt" and "nepotistic" President Ghana has ever produced in the Fourth Republic.
The General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia said, Nana Addo "must accept full responsibility for the unenviable accolade as the most corrupt President in Ghana’s history, which hangs around his neck and find out why it is so.
"It has been established beyond all reasonable doubt that corruption is a way of life for the President and his government."

Although I wasn’t going to accuse this government of nepotism, I’m saying that it is a matter that the government should address. The government should be able to come out and explain to the general public the bases under which certain appointments have been made in order to address this allegation of nepotism."
