The Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has observed that one may need some special grace and mercy to be able to do the kind of work that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo does.
According to him, the president hardly sleeps at night when everybody, including some of his own appointees, may be snoring in beds.
Dr Bawumia claims that sometimes people, including himself, wonder where the man derives his energy from – “if not by the grace of God.”
The vice president made this observation yesterday when a special Islamic thanksgiving service was held at the Central Mosque as part of the national expression of gratitude to God as the country marked the one-year anniversary of the peaceful and successful elections last year.
Speaking after a Quranic recital led by the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharebutu in Accra, Dr Bawumia indicated that his admiration for President Akufo-Addo had grown hundred-fold since they took over the reins of government.
According to him, “He works and works us all – myself, the ministers and the DCEs and so on.
“He works us all very hard; sometimes when we close cabinet at 9:30 pm, we are happy because it is early.”
Stunning Revelation
“I remember once we closed cabinet at 2am – and this is the nature of the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo – he’s got a passion to move this country so much and that passion is what is driving him; and it is a passion to uplift the poor and the disadvantaged in this country. This is what is driving him and this is what we are supporting him to achieve,” he told an enthusiastic crowd that had gathered at the Abossey Okai Central Mosque after the prayers.
“So when you see what he is trying to do in this country, it is about helping the poor and the disadvantaged; when he says Free SHS, it is about the poor and the disadvantaged, when he says ‘One village, One dam,’ it is to help the poor, ‘one district, one factory,’ it is to help the poor and the disadvantaged; and I’ve grown to respect him so much about the passion,” Dr Bawumia spoke highly of the first gentleman of the land.
The vice president has therefore asked Ghanaians for their prayers and support for President Akufo-Addo and his New Patriotic Party (NPP) government to govern the country with humility and compassion.
He said, “I can assure you that we will work very hard and will work honestly,” eulogizing the president as a man who can never be corrupted.
With Akufo-Addo at the helm of affairs, Dr Bawumia was of the firm belief that “Ghana will move beyond aid into prosperity.”
