President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has recounted the overwhelming vote he received from Ghanaians during the 2016 polls indicating that it was a signal to him to fix the broken economy bequeathed him by the Mahama administration.
Nana Akufo-Addo in the 2016 elections, beat then President John Mahama by polling 5,716,026 million votes, representing 53.85%, while John Mahama polled 4,713,277 million votes representing 44.40%, the worse so far for an incumbent President.
In the State of the Nation Address to parliament on Thursday February 20, 2020, the President said he has achieved his promise of fixing the broken economy he inherited from the erstwhile administration.
“I was not elected by the overwhelming majority of the Ghanaian people to complain. I was elected to get things done. I was elected to fix what is broken and my government and I are determined to do just that.â€
Mr, Speaker, we have done just that. We have fixed the broken economy, we have delivered Free Senior High School education, we have brought the National Health Insurance Scheme back to life, we have revamped our agriculture, we have sanitised the banking sector, our industrial transformation is on, we are digitising the economy, and Ghana continues to be at peace. We have done much more than we inherited, we are creating conditions for young people to have hope again, and we are determined to do more. Things are working in Ghana, and Ghana is surely changingâ€, he said to cheers from the majority.
