Ghana’s President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured the nation that his administration will not let the country Ghana down, during the negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).He stressed that his government will negotiate a good deal with the IMF which will be in the best interest of the nation.
He said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has a track record of negotiating deals that serve the best interest of the country with the IMF.
“Our party, we have a tradition of taking Ghana out of difficulties. We took Ghana out of HIPC in President Kufuor’s time. We took Ghana out of the derailed IMF programme of 2015,” he cited.
Nana Akufo-Addo gave the assurance at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference which is currently underway at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Conference is being held under the theme, “Holding together, Working together.”
In all over 6,000 delegates are expected to cast their vote for 47 candidates who are contesting various positions in the National Executive.
“I want to assure the food people of Ghana that we are going to negotiate a good deal with the IMF. A deal that would allow us to revive our economy and to continue the task of building an even stronger economy than we had before.”
He further assured that, “we will be in a position, not only to negotiate but implement a good arrangement. We have done it before and we will do it again.”
President Akufo-Addo promised that “in so doing, the strong economy that we are going to build, is the economy that is going to provide the platform for our victory in 2024.”
He, therefore, reminded the delegates to elect the men and women who will be able to lead the party into ‘breaking the eight.’
“Let us make sure that we elect the men and women who can provide the leadership to enable the party to surmount our mantra to break the eight. And breaking the eight we shall in 2024,” he charged.
