I will act in the interest of all Ghanaians – President Akuffo Addo

President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured that he will continue to work in the interest of all Ghanaians in his second term as President of Ghana.

Addressing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Thanksgiving Service on Sunday, December 27 at the State House in Accra, the President said he will continue to work in their interest of not only the over 6.7million Ghanaians that voted for him but also the over 6.2million Ghanaians that did not vote for him in the December 7 Presidential election.

He said: “I want to thank the people of Ghana for maintaining their confidence in our leadership of the nation, especially the over 6.7million people who voted for me. But, in singling them out, I also want to assure the 6.2million who did not vote for me that I will have their interest at heart and in mind in all that I do.

I will protect Ghana’s democracy

President Akufo-Addo also stated that he will do everything on his part as President to safeguard Ghana’s democracy.
He charged all Ghanaians, irrespective of their political affiliation to work together towards securing the progress of the nation.

“We have to take the lead in bringing into fruition the main teaching of this election which is that all persons of goodwill, no matter their political affiliation have to work together to secure the peace, prosperity and progress of our nation.

“Ghana continues to stand as a beacon of democracy and good governance on our continent and around the world and it is our responsibility to maintain this standing… For my part, I will do whatever I can and spare no effort to ensure that the institutions of our republic and our democratic engagement are not disturbed and are continued in full force and effect to the welfare and the benefit of the people of Ghana”.
