President Akufo-Addo doing the 4More4Nana sign
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has dared the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its flagbearer, John Mahama, to come out with one policy they will implement to improve the people’s living standards in the 2020 elections.
According to the President, the NDC and its leader have no message for the good people of this country.
“The NDC and its flagbearer have not been able to come with a clear message or a policy they will implement geared towards people’s development. Aside from that, it takes the NDC and its leader too long to make decisions,” he said.
“It took a long time for them to decide who should be their running mate and it has taken them a long time for them to come out with their manifesto,” the President added.
He mentioned that this year’s general election would be about track records and would be peaceful.
President Akufo-Addo, who was in the Western Region for a two-day working visit, was speaking in a radio interview on Takoradi-based Skyy Power FM.
He revealed that the ruling NPP would launch its manifesto on Saturday in the Central Region.
“We are in government and we have been busy but we will launch our manifesto on Saturday. They are in opposition, but they have not been able to launch their manifesto,” he pointed out.
The President told his listeners that his government was embarking on massive road infrastructural projects in the Western Region.
“We have planned an extensive road development programme for the region. Nearly 1,260 kilometres of road is being added to the existing road network in the region,” the President said.
He noted that the Western Region produced the chunk of the country’s wealth and so deserved to be developed.
He mentioned that as part of the road projects, the first ever interchange would be constructed at the PTC roundabout in Takoradi by the NPP government.
He said under his government, the Shama District in the region would benefit from the nationwide District Hospital programme.
He indicated that the government would be consolidating all its gains and policies and even do more, adding “so I need four more to do more.”
From the studious of Skyy Power FM, the President and his entourage moved to Shama to cut the sod for the construction of a 32 million Euro District Hospital.
