Attention: His Excellency Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo
Petition: Recuse of Her Excellency Johnson Sirleaf as Lead ECOWAS Observer or Observer Status on Grounds of Conflict of Interest
Specifically, Her Excellency Johnson Sirleaf being an Elections Observer in Ghana, a country in which she is a Director of the finance firm Databank with the other Director being Mr. Ken Ofori Atta who is the Minister of Finance of Ghana and a cousin (blood related) of yours the President of Ghana and you are a candidate in this election.
Hence, Her Excellency Johnson Sirleaf is an Observer or a quasi-judge, a quasi-prosecutor who is seeking to bring her part-persona to her own court. This is not acceptable, as this Ghana election 2020 is highly competitive in an environment full of doubt of a free, fair and non-intimidating election.

What is even compounding the conflicting interest in this issue is your position as a candidate and ECOWAS Chairman who has a close relationship with the ECOWAS Lead Observer per private for-profit business and family ties, of which has the propensity of questioning the fairness of the process should the unknown dispute occur, and who to resolve the dispute should any such happen.
In this light, I humbly suggest you ask Her Excellency Johnson Sirleaf to recluse herself from the ECOWAS Elections Observer Mission in Ghana so as to bring some credibility to the Ghana presidential and parliamentary elections 2020 process.
Counting on your cooperation for today’s credible elections and into the unknown future should this same situation ever repeat itself when this becomes the reference case.
