NPP Flagbearer race:Farmers are ‘Planting’ Billboards for Me – Dr. Afriyie Akoto

Former Food and Agriculture Minister, Dr. Afriyie Akoto has said farmers across the country are ‘planting’ his billboards across the country due to his hardwork.

This was in response to a question posed by host of Peace FM’s ‘kokrokoo’ programme, Kwami Sefa Kayi about why his billboards are spread across most parts of the country.

 

 

According to him he didn’t plant  those billboardsDr. Afriyie Akoto highlighted what is driving him to be the next President of Ghana, saying “God has blessed this nation with a lot of good things but look at the way we are suffering today. That we were looking forward to the Board of IMF approving for the loan we request will arrive in this March but now we are in 23rd (March) and it’s left with only one week. Our Minister of Finance is currently in China, so the nation is suffering”.

 

 

He promised Ghanaians to see a significant change in their lives and in the administration of the country should they elect him to be President.

“I have the requisite knowledge to develop this country and there will be no need for us to go to the IMF every now and then. Sixty-six (66) years of this country, we have gone to the IMF for seventeen (17) times and it is all due to one thing; our development is being financed by debt.

So long as we continue to rely on debt to finance our development, we will go to the IMF umpteenth times but we have the capacity to generate our own foreign exchange and fiscal revenue to fund industrialization, to fund health, to fund education, infrastructure; all the things that we can do,” he said in solicitation of votes from the Ghanaian electorates..Source: Peacefmonline.com
