President Akufo-Addo has requested the people of Okyeman to vote for him and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) based on record, as they have diligently delivered on their promises.
Acknowledging the Okyenhene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin and delegation for the warm reception, he buttressed on government’s commitment to progressively develop the country and its citizens.
“My Government did not come to do lazy work. All aspects of our national life have benefitted from our policies, be they in health, roads, industrialization, or agriculture. My Government has worked for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
“I have proven that I did not come to lie to Ghanaians, but to work for the progress and development of Ghana and for all Ghanaians. I am asking the people of Ghana to assess me on the basis of my record, and, if they were satisfied with it, they should give me an opportunity to do more for them by voting for me”.
At a durbar held in honour of the President on the second day of his 3-day tour of the Eastern Region, in addressing the gathering he extolled some qualities by revealing himself as “a man of my word”.
“I did not come to deceive to anyone, and that is what has given me the courage to seek your support in the upcoming elections. This is what will strengthen me to consolidate the gains chalked in my first term.”
Commending the president on his sterling love for and drive to building the country, the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, noted that Okyeman is united behind the President of the Republic, in his bid to win the December 2020 general elections.
Demonstrably, he indicated that indeed the President has exhibited that he is “a President for all Ghanaians”.
“All of his (President Akufo-Addo) policies have affected every part of Ghana, and have been of immense benefit to every Ghanaian. This is because he has an ancestry where greed and the love of money is eschewed. Service to the Ghanaian people is what he, President Akufo-Addo, is all about.”
“The President could have easily been someone whose only motivation in office is to amass wealth for himself. But, no, he has not done that at all. On the contrary, he has implemented policies that have benefitted us all, and improved our living standards.”
Developmental feats of the incumbent government such as Free SHS was relevant in the conversation of the Okyenhene as he revealed that the policy has ensured that money, or the lack of it, has not denied any Ghanaian child access to education.
“He was born into a good home. He begun to believe in the public values of equity, equality, freedom and the pursuit of justice. All these are virtues Nana Addo possesses. It is said that, by their fruits, you shall know them. If his policies are bearing fruit, we, in Okyeman, say ‘Nana toaso”.
Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin
The Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin urged the people of Okyeman to vote massively for the current government.
“If you are from Okyeman or a Ghanaian, and your child is a beneficiary of Free SHS and all the other policies of Government, and you believe there is a new wind of development blowing, and you don’t vote well on December 7…”
Highlighting the various policies implemented under the ominous threats posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin lauded the 17 addresses made by the President, which have so far outlined the measures being taken by Government to defeat the pandemic, as well as the steps to ease safely the restrictions.
“He has taught us the importance of observing and adhering to the COVID-19 protocols. We should thank God that, at this stage of our national life, he has given us a leader like him. At the height of the pandemic, he provided us with free water and free electricity. He also gave allowances to frontline health workers. This shows the large generosity of his heart”.
