“I will not let you down,” Ghana’s president-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo assured Ghanaians Friday as he admits a challenging time ahead of him in the next four years.
Addressing the nation moments after he was declared winner in the December 7 presidential election, Akufo-Addo described his victory as humbling, and pledged to do all within his mandate to live up to the hopes and expectations of the people.
“I make this solemn pledge to you tonight; I will not let you down, and will do all in my power to live up to you hopes and expectation,” he promised in his victory speech at his Nima residence in Accra.
Akufo-Addo who will take office from January 7, 2017 said his government be president for all and would not discriminate irrespective of ethnic, religious or political affiliation.
“Fellow Ghanaians, you have not elected me to serve one party but to serve the entire nation. The president of Ghana is president for every single Ghanaian without discrimination, malice or ill–will to any ethnic group or political or religions affiliations.
“Whether you supported me or not whether you campaigned for me or not whether you voted for me or not, I can promise you one thing: I will do my best to serve your interest to put our country back on the path of progress and prosperity.
