President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said he is on cause to fulfilling all the promises he made to Ghanaians during the 2016 electioneering year.


Addressing members of the Ghanaian community resident in France on Monday, 8 July 2019, as part of his official visit to that country, President Akufo-Addo indicated that over the course of the last two-and-a-half years in office, his government has, indeed, fulfilled a considerable number of the promises made.

“We are 2½ years into a 4-year mandate, and what I continue to insist and tell the people of Ghana is that by the end of my mandate, they will see that I came to tell them the truth about what I wanted to do. I didn’t come to deceive anybody,” the President said.

He continued, “I know that my opponents will be saying something else but that is their right. God willing, on the 7th December 2020, the day of accountability, we will know who is telling the truth”.

President Akufo-Addo also paid tribute to the late President John Evans Atta-Mills, who first moved the motion for the establishment of the Continental Free Trade Area in 2011.

“Every country should have its goals and policies that it follows successfully, leader after leader. When the national goals are set, all of us who come to occupy the seat of office should then be obliged to follow it,” the President noted.
