The President-Elect of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has appealed for the unflinching support of the membership of Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs, assuring that his doors will be open to them at all times, as he seeks to build a progressive and prosperous nation.
According to him, “in such an important job as this, I would need the advice of eminent persons like you. You are the traditional rulers of the Ga State. If I do something which is not in order, please do not hesitate to point it out to me. My doors are always open to you. I want all of you to help me so we can do a good job for all Ghanaians.”
President-Elect Akufo-Addo made this known on Tuesday, December 13, 2016, when he paid a courtesy call on the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs.
It will be recalled that, prior to his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, in the run-up to the December 7 elections, Nana Akufo-Addo, on Tuesday, September 20, 2016, called on the Greater Accra House of Chiefs to elicit support for his candidature.
“The elections have been conducted and, as you know, I emerged victorious. So, I thought it proper to come here again and thank you for your support and for the words of encouragement you offered me. I am truly grateful,” he said.
He continued, “I thank the people of the Greater Accra Region for taking the message of the NPP to heart and for voting massively for the NPP. Before the election, we (the NPP) had 14 seats. We now have 21 seats, and I also had 52% of the popular vote in Greater Accra.
So as we speak now, the NPP is the majority party in the Greater Accra Region. I thank you and the people of Greater Accra for this massive show of support.”
President-Elect Akufo-Addo assured the House that “all the things I said I was going to do for the region in my campaign, I will fulfil it. Thcey were not just campaign or platform talk. Amongst them include the construction of a harbour at Jamestown and landing sites at Teshie.
“We want Ghana to move forward. Kwame Nkrumah referred to us as the Black Star of Africa. The Black Star has to shine for everybody to make it in our country.”
On his part, Nii Okwei Kinka Dowuona VI, the President of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs, thanked Nana Akufo-Addo for the respect and honour shown to the House by his visit.
“You called on us before the election, and you have called on us again after your victory. This shows us that you hold us in high esteem and we thank you for that. Whatever we can do to help your Presidency succeed, we will do it. Ghana must succeed, so we can create a bright future for our children,” he added.
The incoming 1st Lady of the Republic, Rebecca Naa Okaikor Akufo-Addo, who accompanied Nana Akufo-Addo to the meeting, also thanked the Chiefs and people of Greater Accra for the massive support given to her husband and the NPP on December 7.
She urged the Chiefs and Queen Mothers of the region to call on her at any time, assuring them of a listening ear, and the fulfilment of the pledges made to the region by the President-Elect on the campaign trail.

You see how ***barred word*** this Jonathan could be? you are so ***barred word*** that you do not see the evil in your leader. What bible passage can he quote? Is your JM a christian or forced to be because he turned into a president? Ask him if he has been baptized in any church? not even the Assemlies of God he claims to belong to. Foolis Jonathan, why are you hiding behind a sydoname? ***barred word***. Thou shall not call the Lords name in vain. Go and teach your JM humility and how to pray. I know you have all realized that God has answered the prayers of Nana Addo and the good Christians of Ghan. SHAME to NDC. You think Juju can win elections. Go and learn!
Wow. You're saying someone is not a good spiritual example and look at the words coming from your butthole! This is serious! So you are a good example?!? Whether you like it or yes, 54%of Ghanaians voted for this man and he's our president. I advice you to pack your Ghana must go back to Nigeria so you can start twiddling thumbs with good luck Jonathan your namesake! You ndc youth haven't learnt anything. Your party will continue to implode until the Rawlings's take it back and have sacked all of you babies with sharp teeth. Your type of insults are the reason why Ghanaians voted for nana: to show you people to RESPECT your elders and yourselves. In fact, you will not live long!
YOU NANA KANKABI,,,, LISTENS TO ADVISE????? AND YOU GA CHIEFS ALLOW THIS LIAR TO STAND BEFORE YOU WITH HIS ST.IN.KING FLA.2.LENCE.... AND WATERY NOSE.... AFTER HE HAS DENIGRATED YOU IN HIS SECRET E MAIL CORRESPONDENCES????.... SO WHEN AT ALL WILL THESE MY PEOPLE HAVE SOME MODICUM OF COMMON SENSE??? DO THEY REALLY THINK THIS THING CALLED A PRESIDENT ELECT WILL RESPECT THEM??? IN FACT HE WILL NOT BE MY PRESIDENT.... BECAUSE HE AND HIS BETTER HALF HAS NO INTEGRITY.... AND SPIRITUALLY THEY ARE A BAAAAAD EXAMPLES FOR THE TEAMING YOUTH OF THIS COUNTRY.. AND NO SPIRITUALLY INCLINED ADULT WILL LIKE HIS CHILD TO EMULATE THEM,,,, THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED TO THAT MARRIAGE HAS MORE ABOMINABLE ANTECEDENTS FOR GOD TO LOOK DOWN WITH FAVOR FOR THIS NATION.... THIS IS WHY HE WILL FAIL...... AND LET NO ONE GET IT TWISTED...... THIS IS NOT PERSONAL.. IF HE HAS TO SUCCEED,,, THEN EMULATE HIS PREDECESSOR. WHO HAD TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD,,, IN ORDER TO RECEIVE HIS FAVOR... WHICH WORKED FOR MAHAMA.... IS ANYONE AWARE THAT HE HAD ISSUES WITH LORDINA BEFORE HE BECAME VEEP???? BUT LIKE SOLOMON DID WITH URIAH'S WIFE... AS SOON AS NATHAN THE PROPHET POINTED HIS ERRORS TO HIM,,, HE FELL DOWN AND SOUGHT GOD'S JUSTICE ON HIS LIFE.... GOD FORGAVE HIM AND PROCLAIMED SOLOMON AS THE MAN AFTER HE GOD'S HEART... BUT THE INIQUITY HAD FAR REACHING RAMIFICATIONS... EVERY BIBLE SCHOLAR KNOWS WHAT ADONIJAH DID TO HIS FATHER'S WIVES AND CONCUBINES,,, INCLUDING HIS OWN MOTHER... AND IN THE END ISRAEL AS A NATION SUFFERS.... THIS IS NO JOKE.... AS FAR AS GOD IS CONCERNED,,, THOSE WHO VOTED THIS COUPLES TO POWER HAVE MADE A BAD CHOICE FOR THIS NATION.... WHAT THEY SAW IN AKUFO ADDO IS NOT WHAT GOD SEES.... A WORD TO THE WISE...... BUT THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING TO AVOID... UNFORTUNATELY IT IS HERE WITH US.. SO WE WILL BRACE OURSELVES AND KEEP FIGHTING THE ANTI CHRIST....
