Speaking to professional bodies in the Ashanti Region at True Vine Hotel on Sunday,24th November 2024, President Akufo-Addo cautioned Ghanaians not to repeat the mistakes of 2008, else they would regret later.
He said, “Dr. Bawumia has fresh ideas. We can’t afford to miss the 4th industrial revolution after missing the first, second and third revolutions.”
He continued, “Dr. Bawumia is well prepared to take over. What is Mahama coming to do? Don’t let anyone be confused by his (Mahama) claims.
The 7th December 2024 presidential election is between a failed president who has nothing new to offer Ghanaians and my deputy, Dr. Bawumia, a man of…integrity.
For eight years as running mate and eight years as Vice-President, Bawumia has never lied to me.
I’m, therefore, pleading with you to go out and vote number one for Bawumia, come Saturday, December 7, 2024.”
The President began his three-day ‘Thank you tour’ with the engagement of the various professionals bodies in the Ashanti Region.
He expressed his deepest appreciation to the people of the Ashanti Region for voting for him in the 2016 & 2020 presidential elections and also supporting him to complete his eight-year mandate.
Besides, he used the engagement to account to the people of the region his achievements in the region such as massive expansion of health facilities aside from the ongoing Agenda 111 hospital projects, including unprecedented road construction.
