Ghanaians are proud of my achievements in my 1st term – Akufo-Addo

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says the Ghanaian community renewed his mandate for another four years based on the several developmental projects he achieved in his first term.

He disclosed this in his inaugural address in Parliament on January 7, 2021.

Nana Akufo-Addo said his government in its first term has ensured that the country’s economy has been strengthened and attracting major international businesses.

He said the presence of such global businesses is an indication of the economy’s buoyancy.

“It is a demonstration of the confidence and trust you, the Ghanaian people, have reposed in me, not only in appreciation for the achievements chalked throughout my first four (4) years, but more significantly for the considerable amount of work that is to be done over the next four (4) years, in our drive to take our nation firmly onto the path of progress, prosperity and development, following the havoc wreaked by COVID-19. This is a task I wholeheartedly accept, and I assure all Ghanaians that I will do my utmost to deliver on this mandate.”

He added, “The accomplishment of this mandate is going to take place within the context of Ghana’s maturing democracy. The Ghanaian people have manifested, time and again, in these twenty-eight (28) years of the 4th Republic, their determination to build a free, democratic, peaceful nation, which is respectful of individual liberties and human rights, the rule of law, and the principles of democratic accountability. A governance structure built on the separation of powers provides the best vehicle for the protection of these values, with a well-resourced Judiciary and Parliament as the principal accountability organs of the State. This has been the main thrust of public policy in these past four years, and will continue to be so in the next. The unity and stability of our country are the welcome outcomes of such a development.”
