President Nana Akufo-Addo has called on the youth employed by the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) to actively engage in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) activities for the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.
Speaking at a forum of beneficiaries in Kumasi, President Akufo-Addo criticized former President John Dramani Mahama’s tenure, labeling him an “unsuccessful” and “rejected” leader after only one term.
“Mahama is the only president who was not honoured by Ghanaians. All the other presidents, Rawlings, Kufuor, including myself, have been honoured with a second term in office. Mahama is the only one who was voted out of office after just one term. Today, Mahama says he wants a return to power. Do we want to go backwards as a country? I believe not. So I implore you to be active in the upcoming campaign activities and give your all to support Dr. Bawumia, the NPP flagbearer,” he stated.
Continuing his appeal, he asked, “Which one do you prefer, an unsuccessful president or a successful vice president? The vice president, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has demonstrated that he’ll move this country further in development when he becomes president. Let no one deceive you, the one who is competent is the one who is given the job. Mahama failed to deliver as president, so he should not be elected back to power.”
The President expressed his belief that Dr. Bawumia has the capability to lead Ghana with effective policies and transform the nation.
In a related development, Reverend Isaac Owusu-Bempah, founder and leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministry, has commended President Akufo-Addo for his Free SHS policy.
Addressing his congregation, the outspoken pastor acknowledged President Akufo-Addo’s accomplishments despite their differences, particularly highlighting the Free SHS policy.
“Honestly, Nana Akufo-Addo has done a great job. Although I have a grudge against him, I must admit that he has performed well in his role. Do you remember when God spoke through me to him, mentioning something about fruits? It has come to pass. Some prominent people even pointed this out to me and I think that the Free SHS initiative he introduced is one of those fruits, and it has been a tremendous help to many,” Reverend Owusu-Bempah noted.
He further stated that this initiative was among the many revelations he had concerning the president, underscoring Akufo-Addo’s commendable performance.
