Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the idol of a Ghanaian immigrant living in the European country and has named his son after him. Anthony Boahene said he wants his son to go into politics and become a president. He told an Italian newspaper: "I like the way Berlusconi talks, the way he moves."

Asked about Berlusconi's tough stance on immigration, he said: "It's fine, laws need to be observed."

Boahene, 36, came to Italy in 2002 according to the BBC. His son was born in 2005 in Accra and has only recently joined his father in the northern Italian city of Modena.

There has been no word from Berlusconi the elder about his young namesake, but his opponents are likely to take the view that one Silvio Berlusconi in Italy is more than enough, the report added.
