Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says his 2016 resolution is to assume
the highest office of the land.The NPP leader says he wants to become
President to give Ghana the government it deserves.
“A government that
will deal with the problems facing the people of Ghana; problems of
unemployment, jobs for youth, how to sustain our economy, grow our economy,
bring prosperity to the ordinary man and the people of Ghana. That’s the new
year resolution,” Akufo-Addo said.
Akufo-Addo was speaking to Joy News’

Generation Church at Kasoa in the Central Region.
The flagbearer was
joined at the service by the Acting General Secretary of the party, John Boadu,
Chairman of the party’s Council of Elders, C.K. Tedam, former MP Sheik IC Quaye
and some members of parliament and parliamentary candidates.
Nana
Akufo-Addo said he has the solution to the country’s troubled economy and lack
of opportunity for the youth in Ghana.
According to him, winning the 2016
elections will give him the chance to put the economy back on track for
recovery.
He said he was in church to give thanks to God for steering the
NPP through turbulent times which have seen three national officers
suspended.
