NO BRIGHT FUTURE IF
SHORT-TERM PROBLEMS PERSIST, AKUFO-ADDO
TELLS MAHAMA
“Friday at Akropong, at the Odwira, the
President of the Republic, John Dramani
Mahama, told us that the problems we are
having today in Ghana are short-term, but
the medium and long-term prospects of our
country are still very bright. Mr.
President, what we will say to you is this.
If we cannot deal with the short term
problems, it will compromise our medium and
long term future. They will no longer be
bright.”
These were the words of Nana Akufo-Addo when
he addressed delegates of the New Patriotic
Party in the Ashanti Region, at Abbey’s Park
in the Asawase Constituency, when he rounded
of his tour of the region ahead of
Saturday’s NPP Presidential Primary.
According to Nana Akufo-Addo, the NDC
government has proven over the last 6 years
in office that it cannot deal with the
“short-term problems” they have needlessly
created for Ghana, coupled with the
widespread corruption that have resulted in
untold hardships for Ghanaians.
Until these short-term problems are solved,
Nana Akufo-Addo explained that there was no
way President Mahama could assure Ghanaians
of brighter and better times ahead for the
nation.
He, however, urged Ghanaians not to lose
hope, assuring them that an NPP government,
under his leadership, will rapidly transform
the fortunes of Ghana within a relatively
short period of taking office in 2017.
“We are bringing a competent government
composed of experienced men and women who
will solve the problems of our dear nation.
It will not take long, within a short period
we will turn the fortunes of this country
around and put it back on the path of
prosperity. We have the men and women in
this party to give the nation very
respectable, effective and efficient
government and God-wiling, that government,
in 2017 will be led by Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo,” Nana Akufo-Addo added.
An Akufo-Addo government, he emphasized,
will create an enabling environment to
ensure that businesses succeed, as opposed
to current situation in the country where
most businesses are collapsing due to the
high cost of doing businesses, resulting in
job losses for workers, thereby increasing
the already high numbers of unemployment in
the country.
He assured that the agricultural sector,
which is the mainstay of majority of
Ghanaians, will be reinvigorated, assuring
further that every sector of the Ghanaian
economy will receive a new lease of life
under his administration.
Nana Akufo-Addo will on Monday, October 13,
and Tuesday, October 14, tour the Western
Region before moving onto the Central Region
on Wednesday, October 15 to meet delegates
ahead of Saturday’s contest.
