President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo claims that he is conscious of his obligation to improve the country. In an interview with Kumasi-based Otec FM on Monday, October 17, Mr. Akufo-Addo remarked, "If you decide to vote for the NDC in the general election, it is your choice and that is not my concern."
This was done in reaction to some voters threatening to vote against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) since certain areas of the country had not undergone the desired level of development due to government policy. No one will compel you to cast a ballot.
"No issue. I am trying to explain that when people threaten me, I am not scared. He asserted, "Of course, I understand the responsibility; we will deal with it, and I will do the work."
The President said, "While I accept full responsibility for the current economic crisis, foreign causes cannot be ignored."
This is the first time the president has publicly admitted wrongdoing, which is significant given the ongoing challenges the country's micro-economy is experiencing. According to Mr. Akufo-Addo, "I am the leader, and I take responsibility."
By expressing that he hoped the IMF's help would be finished by the middle of November so that it could be included in the budget, the president showed confidence that the economy would improve before his term as president came to an end. He stated that when his term ended, "I hope to remove Ghana from the IMF bemire.
