President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has insisted that he is completing projects started by the Mahama administration because they are Ghanaian projects.

According to President Akufo-Addo, claims by members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) that he is stealing projects initiated by the Mahama led administration is false.

President Akufo-Addo made the comment on Monday, July 9, 2018, when he commissioned the Anlo Shopping Centre, at the commencement of his 3-day tour of the Volta Region.

Earlier, a former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Keta, Dr. Sylvester Tornyeavah, had accused the Akufo-Addo government of not acknowledging the opposition National Democratic Congress for projects they started in the region.

The president has, however, parried those accusations.

He said: “We’re here today to commission the Anloga shopping centre. Phase one of that project began in the era of the NDC government and phase two was began and completed in the NPP era. If you remember, when we were campaigning, I said that if by the grace of God, the Ghanaian people were to give me their confidence and I was to come in, I would make sure that whatever was started by my predecessor, I’ll complete it and that is exactly what is happening. I’m not stealing NDC policies, I’m completing Ghanaian projects.”
