President Akufo-Addo has shown confidence that history will view his presidency and achievements favourably as he gets ready to leave office on January 7.
Notwithstanding the significant loss of the party’s presidential candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who ran on Mr. Akufo-Addo’s legacy in the recently concluded 2024 general elections, the president maintains that his administration excelled in numerous areas of the country.
He made this statement during the launch of the Bicentennial Anniversary of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) on Sunday, December 22, 2024, which took place at the Osu Castle.
The president emphasized the various social initiatives in the health, education, and energy sectors that have greatly improved citizens’ quality of life.
The exiting President conveyed assurance that upcoming generations will acknowledge and value his legacy.
“I speak to you proud of the achievements my government has chalked under God’s guidance and the support of our people. From transformative policies in education, health, industry, infrastructure and agriculture, to the promotion of good governance and economic development.
“I’m confident in all humility, prosperity will judge well the Akufo-Addo government’s performance. Future generations will look back on this era and say that we laid a strong foundation for progress and prosperity.”
He praised the Presbyterian Church of Ghana for its notable contributions to the nation’s progress over the last 200 years via the spread of the gospel.
“The impact of the gospel is not only seen in schools and hospitals but in the moral fibre of our people. As President, I have often drawn strength and wisdom from the word of God…Throughout my tenure of office, the Presbyterian Church has been a steadfast partner praying for me, encouraging me and supporting my government’s vision of national transformation, for this I’m deeply grateful.
“Your prayers have sustained me and your faith has inspired me to persevere even in the most challenging times.”
