Ghana Is On My Heart – Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed the need to build a wealthy nation and improve living conditions of Ghanaians by showing solidarity to one another in the face of any adversity.

He explained that working for the prosperity of Ghana remains dear to his heart and called on everybody to continue to support him towards the realisation of his dream.

The president said this on Tuesday during the funeral rites of the mother of the Upper West Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alhaji Abdul Rahman Abubakar, in Wa.

He was accompanied by the Acting National Chairman of NPP, Freddie Blay; Local Government and Rural Development Minister, Hajia Alima Mahama; Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery and a Deputy Chief of Staff, Francis Asenso-Boakye as well as several government and party functionaries.

He described the regional chairman as a stalwart of the NPP who had devoted his energy for over 20 years working for the progress of the governing party – which now controls five parliamentary seats out of 11 in the region. Before the 2016 polls the party had zero seats there.

President Akufo-Addo said, “I came here to show Alhaji Abdul Rahaman that I am a good friend. Everybody will go [die] one by one, but we have to show solidarity and concern to one another, and that is important.”

He urged the people to continue to be good citizens as his administration continues to work to create the prosperity for the country, stressing, “Working for the prosperity of Ghana is on my heart.”
