Again more similarities between Ghana and Nigeria as Nana plagiarises Clinton, Bush inaugural speeches.

President Nana Akufo-Addo

 Nana Akufo-Addo, the newly elected president of Ghana begins his term in the presidency of the Cocoa and Gold rich nation on a rather embarrassing note. Even though his communications director has apologized for not acknowledging the quotes that were copied  from the  President Clinton and President Bush inaugural speeches, Ghanaians and observers from all around the world are worried that the plagiarism could be a sign of what is to come for Ghana, a nation which under the Akufo Addo's predecessor has experienced a fall in the value of the Cedi, the nation's currency in exchange for the dollar and a high cost of living in spite of the rise in the price of fuel on the international market. \
During his speech on Saturday Akufo-Addo said:"Though our challenges are fearsome, so are our strengths. Ghanaians have been a restless, questing, hopeful people. And we must bring to our task today the vision and will of those who came before us," 
The quote was just like former President Clinton's 1993 inauguration speech: "Though our challenges are fearsome, so are our strengths. And Americans have ever been a restless, questing, hopeful people. We must bring to our task today the vision and will of those who come before us."
Not that alone: Akufo-Addo said: "I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building your communities and our nation."
In his 2001 inaugural speech, President  Bush said: "I ask you to be citizens: citizens, not spectators; citizens, not subjects; responsible citizens building communities of service and a nation of character."
The presidency's communication director acknowledged the plagiarism and offered an apology.
"I unreservedly apologize for the non-acknowledgement of this quote to the original author. It was a complete oversight, and never deliberate," Eugene Arhin said, but Ghanaians and indeed West African news analysts are beginning to wonder if Akufo-Addo, an accomplished lawyer and former external affairs minister in Ghana really has a plan laid out for his country. The overwhelming question is: if you have something to tell your people why must you tell them through the words of other people?
 Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari also issued an apology for plagiarising quotes from US President Barack Obama in a speech promising change to the people of Nigeria.
Buhari's office said at the time a paragraph in the speech urging Nigerians not to fall back "on the same partisanship, pettiness and immaturity that have poisoned our country so long" was copied from Obama's victory speech after his election in November 2008.
"It was observed that the similarities between a paragraph in President Obama's 2008 victory speech and what President Buhari read in paragraph nine of the 16-paragraph address ... are too close to be passed as coincidence," Buhari's communication office said in a statement.
So far the countries of Ghana and Nigeria have demonstrated similarities in their leadership style check the story http://fortheleaderinyou.blogspot.com.ng/2016/12/goodluck-jonathan-and-john-mahama.htm 
John Mahama and Goodluck Jonathan demonstrated similarities in their processes of attaining office as president in their various countries and they also have been accused of gross mismanagement with their relatives and associates being accused of corrupt practices.  Will Nana follow in Buhari's footstep? We are watching.
