The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has appealed to Ghanaians to give him a second term in office, having performed satisfactorily, since he assumed office in 2017.
The President summed his results as passing the examination set for him through the benevolence of the Ghanaian voters, who gave him the chance to lead them for four years.
President Akufo-Addo is on a 4-day tour of the Greater Accra Region, which commenced yesterday at Gbewa, in the Weija-Gbewa constituency, where he addressed a mini-durbar.
Earlier, President Akufo-Addo had worshipped with the Resurrection New Power Generation Church, close to Kasoa.
The visit was to show appreciation to the Head Pastor of the church, Anothy Kwadwo Boagye and the congregation for their support.
It would be recalled that in the run up to the 2016 elections, President Akufo-Addo made a similar visit to the church to seek God’s grace and guidance.
President Akufo-Addo stated that, “All that I promised to do, in your own presence and in the presence of God, you can all attest to it that I have done a lot of them.”
The President continued, “You have all seen that I am an honest and truthful person. I did not come to deceive anybody in Ghana. I told Ghanaians the truth, today I am telling you the same truth and it is upon that that I am asking you to help me so that ‘Four More for Nana’ will become a reality.”
Four more years for him, he added, “Should also apply to the parliamentary candidates going to Parliament, so that they will win.”
Explaining the purpose of his visit, the President noted that he has so far visited all the regions of the country, except Greater Accra, and deemed it important to begin his tour of Greater Accra with a visit to the Church he knows very well.
“Four years ago, I came here to implore Rev. Anthony Kwadwo Boakye to pray to God Almighty, on my behalf, for victory in the 2016 elections. He prayed for me and God listened to his prayers and I emerged victorious.
“Afterwards, I came here to show my appreciation to him and the church for the good thing they did for me,” he said, to a rapturous response from the congregation.
The President told the gathering at the Church that “I am here today, once again, that 7th December will soon be here. The country is going to elect someone to lead the nation in the next four years. I am pleading with God to, like He helped me in 2016, to help me again in this 2020 election”.
President Akufo-Addo reiterated to the gathering that, “what we have achieved in the areas of education, health, employment, agriculture and all the others represent a solid foundation we have laid in Ghana for growth and development in the country.
“I am, therefore, pleading with you that we should move forward and not backwards so that in unity we can move Ghana forward.”
After the church service, President Akufo-Addo then inspected the ongoing works on the construction of a Science Senior High School at Weija. He assured that the model school in the area, which sod was cut in 2019, would be completed soon. He said the coronavirus pandemic had caused the delay in completion.
On his part, the Roads Minister, Kwasi Amoako Atta assured the residents of Weija-Gbawe of better roads before 2020 ends.
From Weija-Gbawe, President Akufo-Addo went to Kpone Katamanso to cut sod for the construction of a Municipal hospital in Kpone.
In his address, President Akufo-Addo assured the people of Kpone that he had come for their good, as well as the entire country. As such, he urged them to vote for him.
Though the chief of the area had said in his remarks that the Kpone Katamanso constituency had suffered deceit from politicians, President Akufo-Addo indicated that he and the New Patriotic Party were not of that type.
He said there are evidences to show that he was trustworthy and had only come to develop the country and not to lie to Ghanaians, including Kpone residents, and that the sod cutting for the construction of the municipal hospital was enough evidence that he did not come to lie to them.
The President also went to the Tema General Hospital, to cut sod for the construction of a 400-bed regional hospital for Tema, expected to be completed in two years’ time.
Deputy Health Minister, Dr Benard Okoe-Boye, in a brief remark stated that the occasion was very historic for him, as he had worked at the Tema General Hospital for nine years, but did not see an initiative like this.
