I’m confident posterity will judge my performance well – Akufo-Addo

President Akufo-Addo has expressed optimism that history will be kind to him and his performance as President as he prepares to exit office on January 7.

Despite the massive defeat of the party’s presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who campaigned on Mr Akufo-Addo’s legacy in the just-ended 2024 general elections, the president insists that his government performed creditably in various sectors of the company.

He said this at the launch of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana’s (PCG) Bicentennial Anniversary on Sunday, December 22, 2024, held at the Osu Castle.

The president underscored the numerous social interventions in health, education, and energy sectors that have significantly enhanced the quality of life for citizens.

The outgoing President expressed confidence that future generations will recognize and appreciate his legacy.

“I speak to you proud of the achievements my government has chalked under God’s guidance and the support of our people. From transformative policies in education, health, industry, infrastructure and agriculture, to the promotion of good governance and economic development.

“I’m confident in all humility, prosperity will judge well the Akufo-Addo government’s performance. Future generations will look back on this era and say that we laid a strong foundation for progress and prosperity.”

He commended the Presbyterian Church of Ghana for its significant contributions to the nation’s development over the past 200 years through the dissemination of the gospel.

He also acknowledged the church’s vital role in supporting his administration.

“The impact of the gospel is not only seen in schools and hospitals but in the moral fibre of our people. As President, I have often drawn strength and wisdom from the word of God…Throughout my tenure of office, the Presbyterian Church has been a steadfast partner praying for me, encouraging me and supporting my government’s vision of national transformation, for this I’m deeply grateful.

“Your prayers have sustained me and your faith has inspired me to persevere even in the most challenging times.”
