‘Presidency not for short people’ comment a figure of speech – NDC
The campaign spokesperson for the governing National Democratic
Congress (NDC), Joyce Bawah Mogtari says a comment made by Sports
Minister mocking the height of the New Patriotic Party’s presidential
candidate was a figure of speech.
Nii Lante Vanderpuye told crowds at the campaign launch of the NDC in the Central Region over the weekend that “the presidency is not for short people.”
His comments have been swiftly condemned by a section of the public. Some supporters of the NPP have asked that he retracts the statement and apologises to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The Sports Minister's comments departed markedly from admonition President John Mahama to supporters of the NDC and other parties to wage a campaign deviod of insults and violence.
