President Akufo-Addo has expressed desire to fulfill most of the promises he made to the people of Ghana during the 2016 electioneering campaign, which eventually saw him becoming president.
Unfortunately however, he says he came to inherit almost empty state coffers from the erstwhile Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
Addressing the Upper West Regional House of Chiefs on the first day of his week-long visit to the three Northern regions on Monday, he noted satirically, “My father died and he did not leave me any money; so I came as a young boy without any imperatives…so I’m now having to build up the money we need to be able to do the things that we need to do.”
President Akufo-Addo therefore pleaded with Ghanaians to, as it were, “give us some time.”
He however added, “Some of the things are within reach and I promise to execute those ones immediately.
Those, he said, including the ‘Free SHS’ policy; ‘Planting for Food and Jobs, the transfer of police officers to the Upper West Region to bridge the deficit cause by the transfer from the region of over 500 police officers by the Mahama administration last year.
According to the president, the region and its people occupy a special place in the hearts and minds of people, including himself, in the Dankwa-Busia-Dombo tradition with the NPP as its offspring.
Nana Addo pointed out that some of the forebears of the party like S.D Dombo, Jato Kaleo, Naa Abayifaa Karbo and a host of others, came from the region.

Nana Addo should STOP blaming his predecessors like Donald Trump does allthe time ; he should disgracing himself as an econmist and a lawyer because when was the last time he heard any government have left loads of monies in the coffers as christmas gift for any government to come and utilise besides Ghana has always run huge budget deficts and always paying debts all the time and so what is this idiotic Nana Addo talking about ; if Nana Addo is able to collect these stolen cash by NDC officials he will be able to bridge the deficit and have some working capital because Ghana is always in the RED !!!!!!; today the deficit stands at about GHC 139-GHC 140 billion and liky to rise to GHC 145 billon very soon ;I have always maintained that all politicians are liars and thiffs and Nana Addo is no exeception besides unles he uses to court to jail culprits like Opuni and others who have stolen huge sums of money ; Nana Addo will be a total failure ; besides the idiotic full Nana Addo should STOP this past political mirgage od Dombo -Danquah -Busia tradition because to me there is no such tradition ; afterall democracy is the tyranny of the masses and a complete FRAUD ; Nana should STOP lying to people because all he wanted to be was a President because his father was the president -BIG MISTAKE !!!!!!
