Breaking the 8 is a euphemism for corruption, big debts, importation, joblessness, and impunity to continue.

"I want to end by making one appeal, I want you to help me to achieve the last great political feat of my career in Ghanaian politics, that on January 7 2025, I will go to Black Star Square and hand over the baton to our next NPP President of the Republic who we would have chosen, supported and brought to victory," Akufo-Addo said over the weekend.
"Victory in 2024, that is our goal, that is our task and that by the Grace of God, we will achieve," he stressed while addressing party faithful who had gathered at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA).
