He said he will need four more years to continue building the foundation he has laid for Ghana.
“…Four more [years] for Nana so that we can continue the foundation that we are laying for Ghana. It is important that all the strong work that is going into reconstructing our economy and laying the foundation for agriculture and for industry and for our education and health system [is maintained].”
There were several reports that President Akufo-Addo will not be running for another term with many tipping Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as his successor.
Others also said it was time for Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen to finally realise his dream of leading the NPP into an election.
