“My Electoral Victory Has Exposed Crude Propaganda Against Me” – President Akufo-Addo
The President of
the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says his electoral victory
in the December 2016 elections has exposed the crude propaganda against
him, which was waged against him, over the years, by his political
opponents.
According to President Akufo-Addo, “during the elections, people were
going around saying that the people of Krobo should not vote for us (in
the NPP), because when they do, since I am an Akyem, I will come and
sack the people of Krobo, and make them miserable. As you can see,
nothing like that has happened, has it?”
The President continued, “I am sure you can all tell now that they
were lying against me. I can’t do that to the people of Krobo, and to
the people of Dangme… I am very grateful for the support that you have
given our party, and for the work that we are doing. That work will
bring up our country up again.”
President Akufo-Addo made this known on Wednesday, 20th December,
2017, at Asesewa, in the Upper Manya Krobo constituency, when he began
his 3-day tour of the Eastern Region.
With this visit to Upper Manya Krobo constituency being the third in
11 months, President Akufo-Addo told the Konor of the Manya Krobo
Traditional Area, Nene Sackitey II, that “I want Krobo-land to be part
of NPP territory. So, I came here to say, once again, a big thank you. I
thank you very much that you have given us Asesewa (Upper Manya Korobo
constituency, in the December 2016 elections).”
The President told the gathering he is determined to use all his
energies to build a progressive and prosperous Ghana, “a Ghana of our
dreams”, and reiterated his commitment towards building a Ghana Beyond
Aid.
Touching on the requests made Nene Sackitey II, President Akufo-Addo
assured that, amongst others, the Asesewa town roads are about to
undergo a complete rehabilitation and facelift.
Additionally, the construction of a new dining hall and classroom
block for the Upper Manya Senior High School, as well as the request for
the ambulance for the district, and the rehabilitation of the market,
the President assured, “are going to be done one after the other.”
The President told the Konor of Manya Krobo and the gathering that
“what matters for me is that all of us in Ghana, should stay united in
our democracy. Our democracy allows us to have different points of
views, different parties, but we should all stay united as Ghanaians
over the Ghana project, and how we can develop our country in freedom.”
President Akufo-Addo, thus, appealed for the support of the people of
Upper Manya and the people of Ghana, adding that “help me and let us
move together.”
