Akufo-Addo the most honest leader ever

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo

Recently, ex-president Mahama made an unfortunate statement that “I won’t lie to Ghanaians like Akufo-Addo” when he met people at Techiman in the Bono East Region.

During his comments he played his usual gimmicks and when it comes to credibility issues, I don’t think ex president Mahama comes near our current president.

President Akufo Addo promised to abolish nuisance taxes he delivered, promised electricity tariff reduction he delivered, he promised Free education he delivered, he promised one Village One Dam he is delivering, he promised massive road infrastructure he is delivering and Mr President promise to bring down inflation and now inflation is a single digit.

The list can go on and on, Ghanaians have seen how credible His Excellency is, so they won’t fall for the lies of the ex president.

I want to remind Ghanaians how ex president Mahama who was then a running mate to the late President Mills campaigned for ONE TIME PREMIUM FOR NHIS but when he was given the chance to govern, he acted as if he has forgotten his own promise.

Moreover his administration was engulfed with corruption like a deep fog, every single project cost that was executed under his watch was inflated by his appointees.

Our dear nation Ghana is not ready to go back into darkness again, Ghanaians now enjoy uninterrupted electricity power supply as Nana Addo promised. Ghanaians are not ready for the ex president’s gimmicks.
