Akufo-Addo Grateful to “Respected” Nana Otuo Siriboe

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed his gratitude to the Chairman of the Council of State, Nana Otuo Siriboe II for his leadership which facilitated his administration over the country in the past eight years.

In his last address on the State of the Nation on January 3, 2025, he described the Juabenhene as “respected” and lauded the work of the entire Council which afforded him the opportunity to run the country seamlessly.

“I would like to take this opportunity to express also my gratitude to the Council of State, under the chairmanship of its highly respected traditional ruler, Nana Otuo Sriboe II, Juabenhene, for the great help it has given me in helping to steer the ship of state to a successful end. Nana and the Members of the Council, I thank you very much for your invaluable counsel.”

He also expressed his gratitude to the sitting Speaker of Parliament, Rt Hon Albn Sumana Kingsford Bagbin for his cooperation that made his administration smooth.

“Mr Speaker, you and I have made history of a kind these past four years and I must acknowledge the role you played in keeping steady, the ship of state and the governance structures of our country.

“This was the first time the Executive has to deal with, not just a Parliament with the slimmest of majorities, but with a Speaker from the opposition party. Mr Speaker, we found a way to accommodate each other and the government functioned successfully. I thank you.”
