My devotion to the Ghanaian project remains unwavering – Akufo-Addo
President Nana Addo Darkwa Akufo-Addo said his dedication to transforming Ghana remains unwavering and called for public support to achieve the desired results.
“The enemy we are facing is not united, we can only win the war if we keep shifting our point of view,” he said.
“I believe we are on the right path and ask for your support for the transformation of Ghana.”
President Akufo-Addo said this while addressing the 66th Independence Day parade attended at the Volta Regional Youth Center in Adaklu near Ho.
The theme is: “Our Unity, Our Strength, Our Purpose.”
The special guest for the event was President Umaro Sissoco Embalo of Guinea Bissau, who is the Chairman of ECOWAS.
Sitting close to President Akufo-Addo is Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo, as well as Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia and his wife, Samira.
President Akufo-Addo told the gathering that he is well aware of the difficulties the nation is facing and assured the government of its commitment to reverse the trend.
He urged people to count their blessings, despite the challenges, adding: “We have not suffered long fuel queues, or lack of food and essentials, and all the ‘Dumsor’ disasters.”
“Of course, major global developments have a negative impact on domestic and economic performance with evidence of rising global inflation…”
Food prices rose with global interest rates triggered by central bank monetary policy tightening in several economies.
He cited the energy crisis with the price of crude oil to an unprecedented increase, above $120 per barrel, the cedi’s strength against the dollar and other currencies, among other challenges.
President Akufo-Addo said that the government has implemented several fiscal interventions to bring aid to Ghanaians and sooner, “we will see significant relief and recovery results.”
He said the detailed measures will be taken during his State of the Nation address on Wednesday, February 8.
President Embalo of Guinea Bissau said his country is grateful to Ghana for its solidarity and support during the struggle for independence and forefathers of emancipation.
He pledged to continue to support efforts to free all people on the continent.
During the parade through the celebration segment, smartly dressed students from the 12 selected schools showed their agility to wow the guests and spectators, while President Akufo-Addo took the 66th National Salute to Independence.
The mass Army Band provided the music for the event, which saw culture at its best with a demonstration of the various traditions of the country.
