Chairman Abronye in a Radio interview in Sunyani alluded to the fact that Ghana is a developing country, and had its own challenges emanated from the global crises as a results of other factors including COVID-19, But due to the good governance of the President and his government the country is on the right path, in all various sectors.
He said many people in advanced countries across the globe are still going through worse circumstances than Ghanaians faced, including Lebanon, a country which once boasted the nickname “Switzerland of the Middle East” for its thriving banking sector, citizens have to queue for hours every day just to buy bread.
“Addressing worker’s unions and government officials during the Labour Day Celebrations President Yoweri Museveni told Ugandans to opt for cassava if they cannot find bread due to the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities, however, President Akufo-Addo has ensured that nothing is scarce in the country” Abronye Reminded Ghanaians.
He said the country has not gone through any shortage of necessities due to prudent policies of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP but not by chance.
Chairman Abronye said Ghana would have been worse if the world crisis had happened under the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The Bono Chairman said Ghanaians would have been queuing to buy fuel and accessing other amenities if these global crises had happened under the NDC and John Mahama.
“I agree that we are in hard times, which the president himself has also admitted but I can confidently say that had it not been for the good policies laid down by the NPP government, the situation would have been worse, therefor, am urging all meaningful Ghanaians not to fall for the propaganda that the world crisis has no effect on Ghana’s economy”. Abronye Said
Covid-19 has been a bad omen for our lives, but the way the government has handled the cases this has led to a decrease in the cases and spreads less too. If not for this government and Ghana was to be ruled by the Government of John Dramani Mahama Ghana would have been in a pit.
