Minister for Communications and Digitalization, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has lauded former President John Agyekum Kufuor for his exceptional leadership qualities and his vast experience in Ghanaian politics.
Speaking in an interview with the media, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, emphasized that Kufuor’s enduring influence and his unique ability to navigate the political landscape of Ghana from the era of the Busia regime to the present day is nothing short of remarkable.
“One thing we should give President Kufuor is that he is an astute judge of human character, an esteemed politician, and an experienced leader,” the minister remarked.
Former President John Agyekum Kufuor is a prominent Ghanaian politician who served as the President of Ghana from January 7, 2001, to January 7, 2009.
His presidency is notable for being the first peaceful transition of power between democratically elected governments in Ghana since its independence in 1957.
Mr Agyekum’s administration focused on economic reforms, infrastructure development, and improving the educational system.
Before his presidency, Kufuor had a diverse career as a lawyer, businessman, and politician, holding various positions including Deputy Foreign Minister and Secretary for Local Government.
He is often referred to as the “Gentle Giant” due to his calm demeanor and significant stature. Kufuor’s contributions to Ghana’s political landscape have left a lasting impact, and he remains an influential figure in Ghanaian politics.
Were you the only intelligent and thoughtful person in President Kufuor's government? You should be grateful that President Kufuor gave you the opportunity to serve in his administration. – Ursula Owusu-Ekuful responds to Alan Kyerematen pic.twitter.com/zUpiOFLiQh
